22 US states sue to block President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship order| 10 Updates

On Monday, the US president Donald Trump issued a 700-word executive order reversing birthright citizenship granted to US-born children.

US birthright citizenship: that legal fact that means that any US-born person, parent or not, must be a US citizen. Per the birthright citizenship system, if a US citizen is born in the US and is under the tourist visa (or present illegally), then his or her child will become a US citizen.

Trump’s decree repealing birthright citizenship

Trump's 700-ish word executive order, which went into effect late Monday, is nothing more than a fulfillment of a promise he made throughout the 2016 campaign.

The majority of them say that Trump’s order is a gross miss-enforcement of the Constitution and federal immigration laws.

In the meantime, Immigrant Rights activists separately filed a lawsuit Monday night challenging Donald Trump’s executive order.

With the various US states filing lawsuits to block Trump’s order, we don’t really know what will happen to the executive order which will directly affect millions of Americans.

Just hours after Trump signed the executive order, Attorney generals in 22 states, including San Francisco and Washington DC, sued Trump Tuesday to block the order, according to AP.

Democratic lawmakers filed a request for the Massachusetts court to hear cases early in order to expedite proceedings until the order takes effect next month.

In response to the slew of criticisms and lawsuits, White House spokeswoman Harrison Fields issued a statement Tuesday calling the lawsuits an "extension of the Left’s resistance".

"White House press secretary Harrison Fields told Bloomberg after the lawsuits that "Radical Leftists can either choose to flounder and disobey the overwhelming will of the people, or they can join the boat and collaborate with President Trump in carrying out his massively popular agenda," Fields said in a statement.

Democratic attorneys general and immigrant rights advocates maintain that birthright citizenship is common law, and presidents are kings, not kings.

"The president cannot write the 14th Amendment out of existence with a pen, once and for all," said New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin.
