Federal judge blocks Trump order limiting birthright citizenship

A federal judge in New Hampshire has blocked President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship, marking a significant challenge to the administration's immigration policy. The ruling follows a Supreme Court decision allowing class-action lawsuits against such policies, and the judge granted class-action status to the lawsuit, affecting children who would be impacted by the order. The executive order required at least one parent to be a citizen or legal resident for a child born in the U.S. to receive citizenship. The judge's decision, seen as a victory by immigration advocates, has been stayed for seven days to allow for an appeal by the Trump administration.
