Birthright Citizenship

Judge Joseph Laplante is the third federal judge to block the order, as more than half a dozen legal challenges against it move forward.

The ruling bars U.S. agencies from implementing the order to end birthright citizenship for children born to migrants in the U.S. temporarily or without legal status while the case is under review.

New Hampshire Indonesian Community Support and two other organizations are challenging an executive order signed late Monday that would end birthright citizenship for the children of some immigrants. Three regional ACLU chapters are representing the plaintiffs.
