A federal judge again blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing his executive order limiting birthright citizenship. The ruling does so through an exception for class action lawsuits in the recent Supreme Court decision that found federal courts do not have the power to issue “universal” injunctions.

A federal judge on Thursday again barred President Donald Trump's administration from denying citizenship to some babies born in the U.S., making use of an exception to overcome the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling that restricted the ability of judges to block that and other policies nationwide.

The decision, made by Judge Joseph LaPlante from the bench Thursday, was hailed as a win for those fighting to maintain birthright citizenship and the historical interpretation of the 14th Amendment. LePlante was appointed by former President George W. Bush.
