Last month, the Supreme Court limited the use of nationwide injunctions, which allow judges to block policies they have found unlawful from going into effect nationwide. Now a New Hampshire judge is road-testing a substitute: He has temporarily blocked Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order by certifying a class action to cover babies born in all 50 states.

At Trump's direction, the administration has come up with plans to reduce staff at the US Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Health and more than a dozen other agencies.
