California, a coalition of other states and the city of San Francisco have sued the Trump administration over President Trump's executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, calling it unconstitutional.

Put simply, under Trump’s order, the children of most undocumented immigrants wouldn’t be US citizens, nor would the children of people in the country on student, work, or tourist visas. This is more than a reinterpretation of the 14th Amendment — it’s an attempt to do away with the jus soli principle that undergirds US citizenship.

Michigan is one of 18 states which signed onto the lawsuit challenging the executive order issued by Trump on Monday.
