A federal judge agreed Thursday to issue a new nationwide block against President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.

The judge also announced that he would narrow the class action lawsuit to include children affected by the executive order, but not their parents.

A federal judge in New Hampshire says he will certify a class action lawsuit including all children who will be affected by Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship.

The federal judge reignited the legal standoff over President Trump’s efforts to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented parents.

The Supreme Court left open a door to challenging the executive order restricting birthright citizenship. The ACLU walked right through.

Federal District Judge Joseph Laplante has certified a class consisting of all current and future children who stand to lose citizenship rights because of Trump's order, and issued a preliminary injunction barring enforcement of the order against all members of that class.

One of his biggest targets: the birthright citizenship that has defined American identity for over 150 years. On Thursday, a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s order, which had directed federal departments to deny birthright citizenship from children born to mothers and fathers who are not legal American citizens.
