Connecticut and 21 other states are suing to stop the implementation of a new Trump administration directive to freeze nearly all federal assistance, state Attorney General William Tong announced Tuesday afternoon.

Connecticut is "going on the offensive" according to Attorney General William Tong, planning to sue the Trump Administration to stop a memorandum issued late Monday night that would halt federal funds to states.

Until the order, which Trump signed the same day he was inaugurated as the 47th president, the U.S. government has, at least the late 1800s, considered the child of any immigrant born on U.S. soil an automatic citizen, even to a mother in the United States illegally.

This lawsuit hopes to end with a nationwide restraining order making sure that money continues flowing into states for needed services like policing.
