US EditionUS judge weighs putting new block on Trump's birthright citizenship order
UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – Federal judges in Boston and New Hampshire maintain injunctions against Trump's order, citing constitutional concerns and risks to federal benefits administration, affecting millions nationwide.
- U.S. District Judge Joseph LaPlante blocked President Trump's directive on birthright citizenship, and with no appeal filed, his injunction is now enforced across the entire country.
- The executive order, issued January 20, restricts citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to parents unlawfully or temporarily present, but enforcement is blocked pending legal challenges.
- Judge Leo Sorokin in Boston, who granted a prior nationwide injunction, questioned the workability of the government’s proposal to narrow that injunction and allow affected children benefits enrollment.
- DOJ attorney Eric Hamilton stated that the court should either adjust or pause the preliminary injunction, limiting its scope to address only the plaintiffs' claimed harms, which are mainly financial in nature.
- With no appeals filed against LaPlante’s order, the birthright citizenship effort remains stalled, but the case is expected to quickly return to the Supreme Court for further review.
