Following President Trump's controversial executive order to restrict birthright citizenship, a coalition of nearly two dozen state attorneys general swiftly filed lawsuits to contest the measure. This included a federal judge's two-week pause on the order and another ruling against freezing federal assistance. Oregon's former Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum stated that they had anticipated such actions for nearly two years. Her leadership encompassed overseeing multiple legal battles against the Trump administration, revealing the vital role of state AGs in defending their constituents' rights against federal overreach.
"We saw this coming, even though we hoped it wouldn't. We started preparing as the Democratic AGs almost two years ago for the potential eventuality," Rosenblum said.
"I believe that there's no group better prepared to push back where appropriate," Rosenblum highlighted her confidence in the AG's readiness.
The swift legal action from state attorneys general was months in the making, showcasing their proactive stance against potential policy changes.
Rosenblum, as Oregon's first woman attorney general, oversaw significant legal challenges to the Trump administration, emphasizing the role of state AGs in federal matters.
