A federal judge in Concord blocked the enforcement of President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship Thursday.
Judge Joseph LaPlante granted a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union and others on behalf of three non-citizen parents. LaPlante also granted class action status to the plaintiffs, meaning his order applies nationwide to babies born to undocumented immigrants and people in the U.S. with temporary status.
Ruling from the bench, LaPlante described the government’s arguments as “unpersuasive,” indicating that he thought the risk of denying children citizenship constituted the threat of irreparable harm.
..In his ruling Thursday, LaPlante slightly narrowed the scope of the protected class, to include only the babies born to undocumented parents and not the parents themselves. He also issued a seven-day stay on his ruling, to allow for appeals.
