A coalition of 22 Democratic-led states on Tuesday filed a lawsuit in federal court to block President Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship. The District of Columbia and the city of San Francisco are also plaintiffs in the suit, which followed a similar lawsuit filed by the ACLU. This marks the beginning of what’s expected to be mounting litigation against Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Tuesday the order clearly violates the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment.

Attorney General Rob Bonta: “It also violates the Immigration and Nationality Act and flouts more than 125 years, a century and a quarter, of long-standing, well-established precedent set by the U.S. Supreme Court. The president has overstepped his authority by a mile, and we will hold him accountable.”
