Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown is suing the Trump administration over the president's push to end birthright citizenship.

OLYMPIA – Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown has filed a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order issued Monday to end birthright citizenship. The action, announced on day two of Trump’s new term, puts Washington state again at the forefront for challenging Trump’s initiatives.

Brown on Tuesday announced a lawsuit targeting Trump’s executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship. Washington’s new AG, who was sworn in last week, decried the directive as “unconstitutional,” “cruel” and “simply un-American.”
