On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Joseph Laplante announced that he would issue a preliminary injunction against President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for illegals and narrow the class covered to children only.

Laplante, who was nominated by George W. Bush, also said he would grant a 7-day stay of order for “court efficiency.”

As The Straits Times reported, Laplante made the ruling after the ACLU and other illegal alien activists begged him to grant class action status to a lawsuit they filed seeking to represent any babies whose citizenship status would be threatened by the implementation of Trump’s directive.

Laplante agreed to certify the plaintiffs as a class representing the babies and said the decision to issue a nationwide injunction was “not a close call.”

“That’s irreparable harm, citizenship alone,” he said. “It is the greatest privilege that exists in the world.”

This ruling came after the U.S. Supreme Court on June 27 restricted the ability of judges to block Trump’s policies using nationwide injunctions. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 7/10/2025)  (Archive)
