Donald Trump issued a patently unconstitutional executive order purporting to abolish birthright citizenship to children of millions of immigrants.

Early Tuesday afternoon, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced he, as well as the attorneys general of more than a dozen states — including Wisconsin — asked the United States Supreme Court to invalidate the order, block any actions taken to implement the order and ask for immediate relief to prevent the order from taking effect.

The lawsuit to block the president’s executive order is the first salvo in what is likely to be a long-running legal fight over immigration policy.
