California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the state would join a lawsuit in the wake of an executive order by President Trump seeking to end birthright citizenship.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta today filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump Administration’s unconstitutional executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. Under the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, all children born on U.S. soil are automatically granted U.S. citizenship and the rights and privileges that come with it.

The lawsuit seeks to block Trump's effort to revoke birthright citizenship, which is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment.
