The restraining order, along with a similar directive by another judge from Friday, amounted to a rebuke of the move as an overreach that likely lacked legitimate authority.

A federal judge Wednesday furthered a block of President Trump’s executive order preventing the children of migrants without legal status from receiving birthright citizenship. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman at the conclusion of a hearing in Greenbelt said Trump’s order “runs counter to our nation’s 250-year history of citizenship by birth” and likely violates an 1898 Supreme Court decision on the issue.

A judge said some nonprofits continued to be hampered by the freeze and still couldn’t access promised funding.

A federal judge will likely extend a temporary block on President Donald Trump's plan to freeze federal grants and loans. Last week, the White House rescinded the memo on the freeze, but they said Trump's executive orders on funding remained intact.

Democrats said the move was an unconstitutional seizure of power over the federal budget and warned of disruptions in funding to local police, domestic violence shelters, food programs and more.
