President Donald Trump has once more been blocked by a judge from implementing an executive order ending birth-right citizenship for some US residents. A New Hampshire judge approved a class action lawsuit against Trump's executive order, and temporarily stopped it from taking effect.
The lawsuit was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of immigrant parents and their children. The decision comes weeks after the Supreme Court introduced limits on how and when universal injunctions are issued by federal courts. However, the decision still allows them through certain legal avenues. The suit was introduced after the Supreme Court decision, in keeping with the new standards set by the court.

Still, the White House challenged the validity of the judge's ruling and said it would fight "vigorously" against what it said were "attempts of these rogue district court judges to impede the policies President Trump was elected to implement."
Spokesman Harrison Fields described the decision as "an obvious and unlawful attempt to circumvent the Supreme Court's clear order against universal relief", which "disregards the rule of law by abusing class action certification procedures".
