CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The legal fight over President Donald Trump's order ending birthright citizenship is advancing on a path toward the U.S. Supreme Court. A New Hampshire federal judge on Thursday issued a ruling prohibiting the president's January executive order ending birthright citizenship for children born to those without legal status from taking effect anywhere in the U.S. The judge's preliminary injunction and certification of a class-action lawsuit blocks the order, though it included a seven-day stay to allow for appeal.
