White House says some employees were fired by mistake

A federal judge in New Hampshire Monday morning issued an injunction temporarily blocking the enforcement of President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante’s order marks the third time in less than a week that a federal court has blocked the Trump administration’s day-one executive order that sought to preclude the children of undocumented immigrants from birthright citizenship.

Judge Laplante determined that the nonprofits who brought the case were likely to succeed on their claim that the executive order was unconstitutional, and that enforcement of the order would cause irreparable harm.

The series of losses comes as the Trump administration charts its plan to appeal the rulings and potentially bring the issue to the Supreme Court. Lawyers for the Department of Justice filed a notice of appeal in the Western District of Washington last week after another federal judge issued an injunction.

“We think we have good grounds, but you could be right. I mean, you'll find out. It’s ridiculous,” Trump said on his first day in office after signing the order when asked about the likelihood of legal challenges.

In a newly released clip from a sit-down interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, President Donald Trump said Palestinians would not have the right to return to Gaza as he laid out his proposal for the U.S. to "own" Gaza.

"We'll build beautiful communities for the 1.9 million people, we'll build beautiful communities. Safe communities, could be five, six could be two, but we'll build safe communities a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is. In the meantime, I would own this. Think of it as a real estate development for the future," Trump said.

Baier then asked Trump: "Would the Palestinians have the right to return?"

"No, they wouldn't, because they're going to have much better housing, much better -- in other words, I'm talking about building a permanent place for them, because if they have to return now, it will be years before you could ever -- it's not habitable," Trump said. "It will be years before it could happen. I'm talking about starting to build and I think I could make a deal with Jordan, I think I could make a deal with Egypt, you know, we give them billions and billions of dollars a year."

Trump is set to meet with Jordan's King Abdullah II at the White House on Tuesday. Jordan remains steadfast against the proposal to take in more Palestinians.
