18 States and ACLU Sue to Block Trump's Birthright Citizenship Order
Jan 21, 2025, 06:50 PM
On Tuesday, attorneys general from 18 states, including California Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the cities of San Francisco and Washington D.C., filed lawsuits in federal courts in Massachusetts and Washington state challenging President Donald Trump's executive order signed on Inauguration Day to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to unauthorized immigrants or non-citizen parents. The lawsuits argue that the executive order is unconstitutional and violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States. Rob Bonta stated that the president has overstepped his authority, and the legal challenges represent a significant confrontation between the new Trump administration and Democratic-led states over immigration policy.
