A federal judge temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's order redefining birthright citizenship - giving a sense of relief to some members of Long Island's immigrant community.

Byran Perez's parents were not citizens when he was born in the United States. The Bellmore resident says he was worried when the executive order was signed but didn't think it would be enforced.

"There are people within the justice system who are still following the Constitution - who are trying to enforce the law in the right away," Perez said.

The Trump administration had argued that the executive order would only impact those born after Feb. 19, when the executive order was set to go into effect.
