Within hours of his inauguration, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would withhold U.S. citizenship from the children of some immigrants born in the United States, calling the order a “big one.” The executive order would end a right that the U.S. Constitution has guaranteed for more than 150 years.

A federal judge in New Hampshire on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order by certifying a nationwide class action, marking the first such ruling since the Supreme Court narrowed the ability of lower courts to issue sweeping injunctions against presidential policies.

The decision came weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court limited sweeping injunctions in similar challenges to the order.

The judge also granted the case class-action status after the Supreme Court limited judges' ability to block orders nationwide through other means.

The Supreme Court left open a door to challenging the executive order restricting birthright citizenship. The ACLU walked right through.
