“A federal judge on Thursday said he will block President Trump’s executive order [attempting to nullify the US Constitution’s explicit grant of] birthright citizenship for a class of every child it affects. U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante agreed to certify a class-action lawsuit on behalf of any children whose citizenship status would be at risk if Trump’s order went into effect, saying at a hearing that a written order will follow. It comes after the Supreme Court curtailed judges’ ability to issue nationwide injunctions against Trump’s policies but left open a door for challengers to try to seek broad relief by filing class action lawsuits. … He said he would stay the ruling for seven days so that the Trump administration can appeal.” (07/10/25)
