By MARK SHERMAN, HOLLY RAMER, New Hampshire, (AP):- The justices could be asked to rule whether the order issued Thursday by a federal judge in New Hampshire complies with their decision last month that limited judges’ authority to issue nationwide injunctions.
That ruling from the justices did not address the merits of President Trump’s bid to enforce his executive order signed in January that seeks to deny citizenship to children who are born to people who are living in the U.S. illegally or temporarily.
Federal Judge Joseph LaPlante paused Trump’s order but included a weeklong stay of that decision Thursday to allow the government to appeal, which is expected. The federal appeals court in Boston would be asked to weigh in first before the matter could reach the high court.
