4th judge blocks citizenship order
A federal judge in Boston Thursday blocked an executive order from President Trump that would end birthright citizenship for children of parents who are in the US illegally, becoming the fourth judge to do so. The 31-page ruling from US district judge Leo Sorokin came three days after US district judge Joseph Laplante in New Hampshire blocked the executive order, and follows similar rulings in Seattle and Maryland.
Sorokin said the "Constitution confers birthright citizenship broadly, including to persons within the categories described" in the order. The case was filed by Democratic AGs of 18 states and is one of at least 10 lawsuits against the order.
