Latest development

Follow-on motions withdrawn; existing birthright-citizenship claims remain

The September 23 notice withdraws the follow-on motions and proposes conferring about final judgment on the existing claims. Withdrawal does not terminate this action or establish a ruling granting relief against the new order.

Status as of
September 23, 2026
Docket reviewed through
November 9, 2026

About the case

After the Supreme Court affirmed on June 30, 2026, plaintiffs asked the New Hampshire court to clarify or modify its injunction, supplement the complaint, certify another class and issue a new injunction. At the September 22 conference the court stayed the response to an extension motion. In their September 23 notice, plaintiffs reported that the court viewed the proposed supplemental complaint as effectively a new case and withdrew ECF 80, 90, 91 and 92. Barbara remains a plaintiff; the other proposed new plaintiffs, except Barbara’s daughter, said they would sue elsewhere.

Relief

The plaintiffs sought to keep the executive order from taking effect and to preserve birthright citizenship for the affected class of U.S.-born children.

What's next

Further proceedings toward final judgment on the existing claims; the follow-on motions are no longer pending.

New on the docket, not yet reviewed
