A federal judge in New Hampshire has issued a ruling pausing President Donald Trumpֱs executive order ending birthright citizenship from taking effect anywhere in the United States. The judge issued a preliminary injunction Thursday blocking Trump's order and certified a class action lawsuit including all children who will be affected. The judge announced his decision, which includes a seven-day stay to allow for appeal, after an hourlong hearing. The ruling puts the birthright citizenship issue on a fast track to return to the Supreme Court.

U.S. military troops and federal immigration officers have made a brief but mighty show of force at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles. It was unclear if any arrests were made Monday before the National Guard soldiers and federal immigration agents left but their appearance baffled local officials and shook up an area dubbed the ֱEllis Island of the West Coast." The park is a community hub in a largely immigrant neighborhood. Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom called it a political stunt and spectacle meant to intimidate the cityֱs immigrant communities. The Department of Homeland Security says it does not discuss its operations and declined to comment.

A divided Supreme Court has ruled that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions, but the decision leaves unclear the fate of President Donald Trumpֱs restrictions on birthright citizenship. The outcome Friday was a victory for Trump, who has complained about individual judges throwing up obstacles to his agenda. But a conservative majority left open the possibility that the birthright citizenship changes could remain blocked nationwide. The Republican presidentֱs order would deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of people who are in the country illegally. Trump says the court's decision is ֱamazingֱ and a ֱmonumental victory for the Constitution,ֱ the separation of powers and the rule of law.
A mother and her two young kids are fighting for their release from a Texas immigration detention center. The lawsuit filed Tuesday is challenging the Trump administrationֱs policy on immigrant arrests at courthouses. It's believed to be the first lawsuit involving children. It argues that the familyֱs arrests after entering the U.S. legally using a Biden-era online appointment app violate the familyֱs Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights. The mother, her 6-year-old son and her 9-year-old daughter have been held for a month after fleeing Honduras. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment.
