Joseph Laplante
Laplante, a judge on the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire, was nominated by President George W. Bush in 2007. He previously worked in the U.S. Attorney's Offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
On Monday, Laplante became the third federal judge to block Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of those in the U.S. illegally, saying he wasn't persuaded by the administration's defense. He said he would issue at a later date a longer preliminary injunction explaining his reasoning, according to the Associated Press.
