A third federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s order to stop providing citizenship to children born in the United States to parents without legal authorization.
U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante issued the injunction Monday at the request of New Hampshire Indonesian Community Support. He said both sides argued their cases well, but that the Indonesian community was likely to win the case and would be harmed if the order weren't blocked now.
“Nobody threw me any curveballs this morning," Laplante said. "I’m not persuaded by the defendants’ arguments in this case."
Laplante’s order followed similar restrictions from judges in Maryland and Washington state. U.S. District Judge John Coughenour called the order “blatantly unconstitutional,” in a separate challenge in Seattle.
