A federal judge in New Hampshire granted class-action status on July 10 to a lawsuit brought by the ACLU on behalf of a pregnant immigrant, immigrant parents and their infants who would be denied birthright citizenship under a Trump executive order. The judge granted a temporary block of the President's order restricting birthright citizenship from going into effect throughout the country.

The June 27 Supreme Court ruling on the birthright citizenship case limited the ability of district judges to issue nationwide injunctions. It did NOT decide on Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship. The order ending birthright citizenship will go into effect unless someone sues in their own area or joins a class action, which some groups are already working on.
