Judge Blocks Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order Following Supreme Court Ruling

TL;DR Summary
A U.S. District Judge, Joseph Laplante, has issued a nationwide injunction protecting birthright citizenship for infants, despite recent Supreme Court limitations on universal injunctions, by certifying a class of affected individuals and emphasizing that his order applies to all children born in the U.S., regardless of their parents' immigration status. This decision demonstrates that district judges can still defend constitutional rights through class actions, even after the Supreme Court's restrictions.
