Concord, NH-a federal judge in New Hampshire granted the class action status to a lawsuit that seeks to protect babies to whom the Trump administration would deny the citizenship of birth rights and granted a temporary block of the order that restricts the citizenship of birth rights to enter into force throughout the country.
The demand was filed in the name of a pregnant immigrant, immigrant parents and their babies and had sought the class action status for all babies throughout the country that would be affected by Trump’s executive order and his parents.
Cody Wofsy, the main lawyer in the case of the American Union of Civil Libertads, advocated the status of collective action against the United States District Judge, Joseph Laplante, on Thursday morning, stating that his clients would suffer irreparable damage to which the citizenship of the right, a claim with which the judge found credible.
Laplante ordered during the audience that the class of class action is certified in the case, but only for babies who would be affected by restrictions, not for parents.
He also ordered a preliminary judicial order to temporarily bloc Trump’s order to enter into force, but maintained his order for seven days, allowing the government to appeal.
“Today, the Court certified a class at the national level of children who are affected by the president’s executive order and ordered him to enter into force on July 27 that this will protect each child throughout the country of this executive order without law, unconstitutional and cruel,” Wofsy said at a press conference after the hearing. “This will protect each child throughout the country from this executive order without law, unconstitutional and cruel.”
The lawyers of the Department of Justice had argued that the relief that the plaintiffs were looking for in their case was too broad and questioned if the requirements for the class action status had been met. The department also argued that the preliminary court request and the state of the class was premature and argued the time to appeal.
The Department of Justice and the White House did not respond immediately to the request for comments on the judge’s order.
In an earlier statement before Thursday’s hearing, the White House spokesman, Abigail Jackson, told NBC News: “The Trump administration undertakes to legally implement the president’s executive order to protect the meaning and value of US citizenship and restores the fourteenth amendment to its original intention.”
Laplante said that depriving a person of the right of the citizenship of long -date birth law was “irreparable damage” and that the citizenship of birth rights was “the greatest privilege that exists in the world.”
The hearing occurs when the American Union of Civil Liberties and other organizations presented a new round of demands at the end of June seeking class action status after the Supreme Court limited the ability of judges to block orders throughout the country through other means, known as cautious throughout the country.
The Supreme Court did not decide the merits of the Birth Law Citizenship of the Trump Administration, but said it could begin in force on July 27, except for more measures from the courts.
According to Trump’s plan, birth citizenship would be limited to those who have at least one father who is an American or permanent resident. The order also denies citizens to children whose mothers are temporarily in the United States, including those who visit under the visa exemption program or as tourists, or who are students and whose parents are not citizens or permanent legal residents.
That disagrees with the widely accepted understanding of the 14th amendment of the Constitution, which gives citizenship to any person born in the United States, with some minor exceptions.
“Every court who has seen this cruel order agrees that it is unconstitutional,” said Wofsy, deputy director of the ACLU immigrant rights project and the main lawyer in the case, in a statement announcing the lawsuit at the end of June. “The decision of the Supreme Court did not suggest the opposite, and we are struggling to ensure that President Trump cannot trample the citizenship rights of a child.”
“This executive order is directly opposed to our constitution, values and history, and would create a permanent and multigenerational subclass of people born in the United States, but who is denied full rights. No politician can decide who among those born in our country is worthy of the city of the city of the city of the United States. Time.
Shortly after assuming the position at the end of January, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that limits the citizenship of birth law, which called “protecting the meaning and value of US citizenship.”
As a result, almost two dozen states had submitted demands against the Trump administration that challenged the order, arguing that it violates amendment 14, which says: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to jurisdiction, are citizens of the United States and the state in which they reside.”
The decision of the Supreme Court last month restricted the authority of the judges to block the presidential orders throughout the country, instead of only within its jurisdictions. But it allowed judges to issue such decisions at the national level in cases of collective action, which leads to immigrants and other immigrants to present several additional legal challenges to the order of citizenship of birth law that are now moving through the courts.
