Democratic state attorneys general filed a lawsuit in federal court on Tuesday seeking to block an executive order that seeks to revoke US President Donald Trump's birthright citizenship.
Shortly after taking office on Monday, Trump issued an executive order directing children of women who are in the US illegally or those who are not legal permanent residents to not provide passports, citizenship certificates and other documents. .
But 18 states have filed a lawsuit against his order in federal court in Massachusetts. According to CNN, the cities of San Francisco and Washington DC are also involved in the case. In the
case, it is claimed that Trump's order violates the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. The US Constitution explains that those born on American soil are automatically citizens by birth. 'All persons born under the jurisdiction of the United States of America or its jurisdiction combined States are the United States and citizens of the state in which they reside,' states the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution .
"Our nation's great promise is that everyone born here is a citizen of the United States, and able to achieve the American dream," New York Attorney General Letitia James told CBS News. Finally it is demanded to be declared invalid .
The Democratic states of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont and the state of Wisconsin filed a lawsuit against Trump's order .
California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a statement stating that the President's executive order to revoke the right to birthright citizenship is clearly unconstitutional. "We are asking the court to immediately stop this order from taking effect and ensure that the rights of US-born children affected by this order are preserved," he said.
The states of Illinois, Arizona, Washington and Oregon have also filed separate lawsuits against the executive order in federal court in Seattle, Washington. Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raul issued a statement saying the US Supreme Court has twice upheld birthright citizenship. He said that denying rights is not a solution.
Trump has directed to implement his order within 30 days . But soon after the order was issued, the American Civil Liberties Union and other advocacy groups filed a lawsuit challenging it.
