Washington Attorney General sues Trump Administration

Twenty-four hours after returning to office, the Trump administration is already facing its first lawsuit from Washington state.

State Attorney General Nick Brown says he has filed a challenge to President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of unauthorized immigrants. 

It was one of dozens of orders President Trump signed during his first day back in the big chair, ranging from renaming a mountain, to pulling the U.S. out of the Paris climate agreement.
