A federal judge in New Hampshire has temporarily blocked President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship. Judge Joseph LaPlante issued a preliminary injunction after a hearing and certified a class action lawsuit regarding impacted children. The measure relates to the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., but the Trump administration uses the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" to challenge this for children born to undocumented mothers. LaPlante’s ruling may escalate to the Supreme Court due to recent limitations on judicial injunctions.
"Judge Joseph LaPlante issued a preliminary injunction against President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship, impacting children affected by this policy."
"The ruling centers around the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to those born in the U.S., contested by the Trump administration claiming jurisdiction issues for children of undocumented immigrants."
