WASHINGTON — A federal judge in Massachusetts ruled on Friday that a nationwide injunction he issued in February that blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship should remain in place.
In a written ruling, U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin said his earlier nationwide injunction was the only way to provide complete relief to a coalition of states that brought the lawsuit before him, rejecting the Trump administration’s argument that a narrower ruling was warranted because of a June decision from the U.S. Supreme Court.
