# A federal judge in New Hampshire has blocked president Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. The executive order denies citizenship to those born to undocumented parents living in the US or temporarily. The lawsuit was brought on behalf of a pregnant immigrant, immigrant parents, and their infants. Judge Joseph LaPlante states that depriving a person of the longstanding right to birthright citizenship causes irreparable harm and that birthright citizenship is the greatest privilege that exists in the world.
