Federal judges have continued to order sweeping halts to President Donald Trump’s policies in the immediate aftermath of a US Supreme Court decision that limited their use of such powers.

NEW YORK -- The US Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a lower court order that had blocked President Donald Trump's executive order requiring government agencies to lay off hundreds of thousands of federal employees.

A federal judge again barred President Donald Trump's administration from enforcing his executive order limiting birthright citizenship nationwide after the Supreme Court restricted the ability of judges to block his policies using nationwide injunctions.
