The Supreme Court Limited Lower Courts' Power to Stop Trump's Lawlessness. A Judge Is Trying Another Way.
Briefly

The Trump administration's immigration policies have sparked significant legal challenges. Recent actions include a New Hampshire judge temporarily blocking Donald Trump's birthright citizenship executive order through class action, impacting all future births to undocumented mothers. This case signifies a legal framework that questions the enforcement of executive orders and the limits of presidential power as shaped by Supreme Court rulings. Additionally, documents indicate the administration's shifting stance on Venezuelan migrants removed to El Salvador, complicating its jurisdiction claims over immigrant populations.
U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante has granted class action status to immigrant mothers affected by Trump's birthright citizenship executive order, covering all current and future babies born to undocumented mothers.
This legal battle raises questions about the application of the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. CASA and the role of class-action lawsuits in checking the executive branch's power.
