Legal & Judicial Developments - A federal judge in New Hampshire issued a preliminary injunction temporarily blocking the Trump administration's executive order ending birthright citizenship [1] - The judge also granted class-action status to a lawsuit seeking to protect babies who would be denied birthright citizenship [1] - The ruling comes two weeks after a Supreme Court decision imposing new limits on the judiciary's ability to issue nationwide injunctions [2] - The judge issued a nationwide injunction on birthright citizenship, arguing it's different due to the class action lawsuit brought on behalf of potential parents on student visas [3][4] - The executive order applied not just to undocumented immigrants, but anyone without permanent legal status, meaning children of those on student visas would not be US citizens [4][5] - The Supreme Court may need to decide if a district judge can issue a nationwide injunction in a class action suit, impacting district court reach and birthright citizenship [5] - No judge in America has ruled Trump's executive order (children born to people not permanently in the country are not citizens) is legal, but absent a nationwide injunction, it could go into effect in some places [8] Potential Future Implications - This class action route could be a potential roadmap for other plaintiffs seeking nationwide injunctions on various issues [9] - Both Republican conservatives and liberals could see this as a workaround to achieve nationwide injunctions by finding a class (like students) that exists across the country [9]
