Another federal judge, this time in New Hampshire, has just blocked President Trump’s executive order banning birthright citizenship.

The judge, a George W. Bush appointee, did so on behalf of a lawsuit file by three groups and their ACLU attorney.

Here’s more from CBS News:

A federal judge in New Hampshire on Monday blocked President Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, becoming the third judge to do so amid more than half a dozen legal challenges to the president’s directive.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante said at the end of a brief hearing that he would grant the request for a preliminary injunction sought by New Hampshire Indonesian Community Support, LULAC and Make the Road New York. The three groups filed the first federal lawsuit challenging Mr. Trump’s executive order, which he signed on his first day in office.

“The plaintiff has made the required showing to get a preliminary injunction,” Laplante, appointed by President George W. Bush, said.

He is expected to issue a written decision explaining his reasoning by Tuesday.

But Drew Ensign, a Justice Department lawyer, said Mr. Trump was well within his authority to eliminate birthright citizenship. The president’s order states that no federal agency shall issue or accept government documents recognizing children covered by the directive who are born on or after Feb. 19.

As we’ve said, this is expected and will ultimately create a showdown in which the Supreme Court will take up the case and issue a ruling, hopefully to uphold the idea that birthright citizenship was made for US citizens.
