Washington: The attorneys general of New Jersey and Arizona have announced that they will challenge President Trump’s executive order in court.
The new US President Trump has blown up several orders and actions of former President Biden as soon as he was sworn in.
US states and civil rights groups have filed the first lawsuit against the new executive orders signed by US President Donald Trump.
In this regard, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin said in a press conference that they are going to challenge the order to revoke the right to birthright citizenship in court.
He said that no president can be allowed to run the country’s affairs in the style of a monarchy, the right to birthright citizenship was given by the founders of this country.
The Attorney General of New Jersey said that the US Constitution gives the right to citizenship to all children born in the country, every second person in America is somehow a descendant of immigrants.
Matthew Platkin said that now is the time to stand up for the rule of law in America, this is not our political fight but a fight for the rule of law.
It should be noted that a coalition of 18 states filed a lawsuit in federal court in Boston on Tuesday, arguing that the Republican president’s move to end birthright citizenship is a clear violation of the US Constitution.
According to the report, the lawsuit was filed a few hours after Trump signed the executive order, the first major legal challenge to Trump’s agenda since taking office.
The report further states that more cases are expected after this, in which other Trump actions will be challenged, including the Elon Musk-led advisory group called the “Department of Government Efficiency,” which is a clear violation of federal law.
In addition, the Attorney General of Arizona has also announced that he will challenge President Trump’s aforementioned order in court.
The Attorney General of Arizona says that the US President does not have the authority to end the right to birthright citizenship, the right to birthright citizenship can only be changed through a constitutional amendment.
