US President Donald Trump's birthright citizenship order denies citizenship to those born to parents living in the US illegally or temporarily.

A federal judge agreed Thursday to issue a new nationwide block against President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. The ruling from US District Judge Joseph Laplante is significant because the Supreme Court last month curbed the power of lower court judges to issue nationwide injunctions,

The judge also granted the case class-action status after the Supreme Court limited the ability of judges to block orders nationwide through other means.
