Judge, appointed by President George W. Bush, stressed that American citizenship ‘is the greatest privilege in the world’
A federal judge of New Hampshire blocked the executive order of the president of the United States, Donald Trumpto eliminate citizenship by birth. “Private American citizenship is an abrupt change in a longtime policy, and causes irrepalable damage,” said Judge Joseph Laplante in reading the decision. The judge, appointed by President George W. Bush, stressed that American citizenship “is the greatest privilege in the world.” Laplante, however, declared a seven -day break in his decision to allow the government to appeal from the verdict, according to the case in the case of a collective action by the American Union for Civil Freedoms (ACLU). The same judge had already opposed another February decision to the same executive order, but limiting the reach of his verdict only to members of various organizations and not with universal character, and then claimed that Trump’s order violated the 14th Constitutional Amendment.

The executive order should come into force on July 27, after the Supreme Court invalidated other similar blocking orders issued by state judges, on the grounds that these judges could not block orders with federal range. The decision was considered of enormous legal transcendence in the face of the “barrier” of judicial decisions that opposed Trump’s policies. Laplante’s decision on the motion presented by “Barbara and others” points out that the plaintiffs “may suffer irreparable damage if the order (blocking) is not granted.”
According to the first interpretation, Laplante’s decision refers to “existing and future children” who would be affected by the executive order, but does not mention their parents, as the plaintiffs had requested. The main applicant, Barbara (unveiled surname), is a Honduran citizen who has a pending asylum request and waiting for her first child for October, which would be born in American territory. The lawsuit recalls that nationality by birth is a “treasure” guaranteed by the 14th amendment of the Constitution and a long jurisprudence.
