Minutes ago, Attorney General William Tong and the attorneys general of 17 other states, the District of Columbia and the City of San Francisco sued President Donald Trump in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, challenging his executive order ending birthright citizenship, calling Trump's move "lawless" arguing he "eviscerated clear constitutional rights to which all children born in the U.S. are entitled."
Tong views this as a personal fight. He's been appearing all across the state since Trump won promising to protect all immigrants as best he can from Trump, including illegals.
He believes Trump's executive order is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Section 1401 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Tong is filing suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, seeking to invalidate the executive order and to enjoin any actions taken to implement it. The states request immediate relief to prevent the President’s Order from taking effect through both a Temporary Restraining Order and a Preliminary Injunction.
He described Trump's Executive Order as a "war" waged on American families with "zero respect" for the Constitution.
"There is no legitimate legal debate on this question. But the fact that Trump is dead wrong will not prevent him from inflicting serious harm right now on American families like my own," said Tong. "Abolishing birthright citizenship will cause chaos across Connecticut and the United States, with babies born here lacking legal status anywhere, imperiling their future careers, education, healthcare, and more in the only country they will have known."
States joining Connecticut in today’s filing include California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Vermont, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia and City of San Francisco.
