22 Blue States Sign Pact Against Trump Policies

Following President Trump's election, a coalition of 22 blue states and Washington, D.C. formed a secret agreement to resist his anticipated immigration policies, particularly targeting birthright citizenship. This agreement, revealed by The Heritage Foundation, emphasizes their commitment to collaborate on litigation against Trump's executive actions. Meanwhile, Trump has issued a series of executive orders aimed at curtailing transgender policies and protecting women’s sports, arguing that states supporting transgender rights are dividing the nation. He has also mandated that federal agencies stop funding medical procedures related to gender transition for minors. In addition, Trump has faced opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans in various states, highlighting a struggle within the party regarding conservative reforms. As these tensions rise, Trump's administration continues to push for his agenda despite significant pushback from state-level lawmakers.
