A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship. The ruling is in response to a lawsuit aimed at getting around a recent Supreme Court ruling limiting nationwide injunctions.

Washington — The Supreme Court spent much of its most recent term responding to a fire hose of requests for emergency relief sought by the Trump administration, as President Trump's efforts to implement key aspects of his second-term agenda were stymied by lower courts on several fronts.

U.S. District Judge Joseph LaPlante issued a preliminary injunction against Trump's birthright citizenship ban, ruling that deprivation of citizenship would create irreparable harm.

Experts say the most impactful decisions have enabled the Trump administration to gut the federal workforce and freeze funding.
