From Fox News: A federal judge in New Hampshire on Thursday issued a preliminary injunction blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order banning birthright citizenship, and granting a nationwide class certification status to all infants impacted by the order.
U.S. District Judge Joseph LaPlante said Thursday that he will issue a written ruling by the end of the day further explaining his decision. The injunction also narrows down the scope of the class to infants, removing parents from the case.
In his order, LaPlante ruled that deprivation of citizenship, as held by the 14th Amendment, and changes in longstanding policy would create “irreparable harm.”
The report explains that the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 last month that plaintiffs seeking nationwide relief must file their cases as a class action lawsuit, but they did not address the birthright citizenship issue itself.
The Trump administration is expected to quickly appeal Thursday’s ruling by Judge LaPlante, an appointee of former President George W. Bush.
