Setback for Trump: US judge pauses birthright citizenship order
A federal judge in New Hampshire has temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, deeming it unconstitutional. The judge certified a class-action lawsuit and issued a preliminary injunction, citing potential harm to families. The legal challenge centers on the 14th Amendment, with opponents arguing the order contradicts established interpretations of citizenship.
