Judges keep blocking Trump's policies despite US Supreme Court injunction curbs

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Federal judges continue blocking Trump policies on asylum, birthright citizenship, and abortion despite Supreme Court limits, with class actions and administrative law cited as reasons, experts say.

  • U.S. District Judge Joseph LaPlante ruled on Thursday to block President Trump's January 20 executive order ending birthright citizenship nationwide.
  • The executive order requires federal agencies to withhold citizenship from children born in the U.S. unless at least one parent is a citizen or lawful permanent resident, challenging the established interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
  • LaPlante expanded a prior limited injunction to cover all children affected, citing the century-old precedent of United States v. Wong Kim Ark affirming birthright citizenship.
  • LaPlante emphasized that the court found no ambiguity in issuing the preliminary injunction, while ACLU deputy director Cody Wofsy described the decision as a strong condemnation of Trump's directive.
  • The Justice Department plans to appeal and oppose class certification, and a New Hampshire judge will consider a nationwide block as the fight over birthright citizenship continues.
