WATCH: Washington AG announces lawsuit to stop Trump’s order blocking birthright citizenship

WATCH: Washington Attorney General Nick Brown is announcing a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional executive order on birthright citizenship.

Most of Trump's initial executive orders signed in his first day in office are about immigration and the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump has made promises of mass deportations of illegal immigrants, resuming work on a border wall, and slowing the flow of drugs through U.S. points of entry.

He is also declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, allowing the federal government to summon more personnel and resources to deal with the problems.

But the executive order from Trump that has drawn the ire of Brown would end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents in the country without legal status. The right to citizenship by birth was established under the 14th Amendment and scholars have questioned how the executive order would survive certain legal challenges.
