A federal judge on Thursday suspended President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to eliminate automatic citizenship for those born in the United States, dealing another legal blow to the administration's efforts in this area.

According to The Hill, Judge Joseph La Plante stated the ruling is temporary and gives the Trump administration seven days to file an appeal.

This decision comes two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court limited lower courts from issuing nationwide injunctions—a partial victory for the Trump administration in its push to implement several executive orders, including restrictions on birthright citizenship.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the administration's request to narrow the scope of nationwide injunctions, restricting them only to the states, groups, or individuals who filed lawsuits.

"The government's applications for partial stays of the preliminary injunctions are granted, but only to the extent the injunctions are broader than necessary to provide complete relief to the plaintiffs," the Court stated.

Trump signed the executive order on the first day of his second term, seeking to end automatic citizenship for those born on U.S. soil—a move criticized by human rights organizations and opponents as unconstitutional, given that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S., regardless of parental legal status.
