Already, Trump Suffers Harsh Rebuke in Court—Here’s Why More Is Coming

After Trump's effort to nix birthright citizenship earns a judicial smackdown, California Attorney General Rob Bonta outlines how his state will resist Trump's worst designs going forward.

Donald Trump suffered his first legal setback Thursday when a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship. The judge delivered quite a smackdown, saying the move “boggles my mind.” This comes as Trump’s Justice Department is now threatening to prosecute local officials who don’t comply with his immigration agenda. But that, too, appears to lack real legal basis. The quality of his arguments so far suggests resistance from the states may have some success. We talked to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who outlines the lawlessness he anticipates from Trump, what his state’s resistance will look like, and why there’s a real shot at hindering his ugliest intentions.
