The legal fight over President Trump’s order ending birthright citizenship is advancing on a path toward the Supreme Court after a New Hampshire federal judge blocked the president's order on Thursday.
One of his biggest targets: the birthright citizenship that has defined American identity for over 150 years. On Thursday, a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s order, which had directed federal departments to deny birthright citizenship from children born to mothers and fathers who are not legal American citizens.
