newcombe isn't surprised that today, california attorney general rob bonta issued a legal challenge to one of president trump's many day one executive orders. in this case, the order eliminating the birthright of children born to undocumented immigrants. critics of the president say his order violates the 14th amendment, guaranteeing that any child born on u.s. soil is automatically a u.s. citizen, regardless of their parents status, as he did today, with what is, frankly, an un-american executive order. i have one message for president trump. i'll see you in court. we are filed. the order is currently set to take effect in 30 days, but legal experts believe a federal court is now likely to issue an injunction barring the law from taking effect until the legal challenges are over. the president chose to start his second term by knocking down one of our country's foundational long standing rights, and that its very dubious legal reasoning under trump's executive order. and he's not able to just undo the 14th amendment with the stroke of his pen. newcombe says he believes it will be quit

california attorney general rob bonta officially announced california's first lawsuit against president donald trump wild by 18 states, washington, d.c., and the city and county of san francisco. the litigation specifically is aiming to stop trump's new executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. it crosses the threshold and it's illegal specifically argues trump's executive order violates the 14th amendment of the u.s. constitution which describes birthright citizenship as such quote, all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united states. bonta says this clearly states anyone born in the u.s. is automatically a citizen. i want to allow our president to willfully violate. the u.s. constitution. give us an objective for more, we can present along the facts. we feel very confident in our likelihood of prevailing on the merits. first right? it's a big one. president trump argues birthright citizenship was never intended to apply to those born in the u.s.. if neither parent is a u.s. citizen or if the mother

i mean, the legal framework i have to agree with attorney general rob bonta is shaky at best. i mean, there have been cases that have made it up to the supreme court questioning this very issue, you know, over hundreds of years ago where people were certainly a lot less progressive when it came to the issue of racial harmony and immigrant justice than they are today. and the courts, even though they were conservative back then, roundly rejected this kind of reasoning. it's difficult for envision, even with the conservative supreme court, that we have now, that something like this could ultimately get upheld. my opinion is that it could be a kind of a flood, the zone sort of a strategy where he has a lot of different executive orders that are designed to cause mass panic and confusion. and this is kind of a bit of a red herring that he may or may not expect to even go through at all. andrew, appreciate your your perspective and your input. i would like to have you back on the program, because i don't think this issue is going away anytime soon. have a good evening. thank you ru

. >> reporter: state attorney general, rob bonta, a child himself, made the announcement that california had joined 17 other states and immediately challenged president trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship. >> the president chose to start his second term by knocking down one of our country's foundation. long standing rights and disregarding our nation's governing document. >> reporter: the first sentence of the 14th amendment will state all persons born are naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the united states and of the state where they would reside. but they took an 1898 supreme court decision to establish they apply to everyone. a 20-year-old man named wong kim arc was denied reentry into the country after a visit to china on the basis of the chinese exclusionary act. despite rampant discrimination against the chinese, he sued. saying the 14th amendment guaranteed his citizenship for having been born here. it took a year for the court to issue their ruling, which is now considered a fundamental piece of constitutional law.

california attorney general rob bonta was flanked by san francisco city attorney david chu as he announced california's suit today. the story of birthright citizenship is as san francisco as they come. san francisco has a unique connection to birthright citizenship. when one of our very own citizens stood up for his constitutional right in the late 1800s. wong kim ark was born in san francisco on sacramento street to immigrant parents. after a visit to china, wong kim ark was denied reentry into san francisco because of the chinese exclusion act. wong kim ark went to court, arguing that his birth on u.s. soil made him a u.s. citizen. ultimately, the supreme court ruled he was right under the 14th amendment. california and attorneys general from 17 other states say that's a lesson the new president is about to learn again, and that it's very dubious legal reasoning under trump's executive order. and he's not able to just undo the 14th amendment with the stroke of his pen. but ramos won't have to worry about her daughter's citizenship, since the new executive order won't take effect for at l

attorney general rob bonta argues it violates the 14th amendment, which was ratified back in 1868. the president chose to start his second term by knocking down one of our country's foundational long standing rights and disregarding our nation's governing document. the questions around birthright citizenship have been asked and answered. this is settled. this is established, resolved in the highest court of the land. bonta says the order would impact more than 20,000 babies born every year in california. trump's proposal doesn't go into effect for a month. bonta is requesting a preliminary injunction to prevent the order from taking effect until it has time to move through the courts. another executive order by president trump is leading to concern for some in the bay area and beyond. he's reorienting how the federal government recognizes sex, declaring there are only two sexes, male and female. so let's go and bring in our business and tech reporter scott budman, who's been looking into this for us. and, scott, this is already having an impact on people's passports, right? the pas
