A federal court in New Hampshire today blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship and certified a nationwide class that protects the citizenship rights of all children born on U.S. so

Judge Joseph LaPlante made the announcement Thursday, July 10, following a hearing and added that a written order will follow, according to the Associated Press. The judge’s order will also include a seven-day stay to allow for appeal.

The ruling stems from a nationwide class-action lawsuit filed June 27, immediately after a Supreme Court ruling that potentially opened the door for partial enforcement of the executive order.

The American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of New Hampshire, ACLU of Maine, ACLU of Massachusetts, Legal Defense Fund, Asian Law Caucus, and Democracy Defenders Fund brought the challenge on behalf of a proposed class of babies subject to the executive order. It seeks to protect all impacted families in the country in the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Trump v. CASA, which directed courts to consider narrowing nationwide protection that had been provided in the first round of challenges to the executive order attacking birthright citizenshi

The groups were in court today successfully arguing for a preliminary injunction and nationwide class certification. The ruling was made from the bench.

I'm simply going to paraphrase the words of Andrew Jackson in 1832 here because, given how lower courts are essentially ignoring Supreme Court precedent, "They have made their decisions, let them enforce them."
