Donald Trump's recent executive orders raise concerns among legal experts about the erosion of democratic norms and the rule of law in the US. Key actions include the dismissals of 17 agency watchdogs without requisite notice and efforts to undermine birthright citizenship. While Congressional Republicans remain largely silent, Democrats respond with legal challenges, including lawsuits from attorneys general and civil rights groups, which have successfully halted some of Trump's more controversial actions. The situation reflects a significant legal and political battle over presidential power and accountability in the current administration.
Federal judges have backed separate lawsuits by state attorneys general and civil rights groups halting Trump's efforts to nullify birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants born in the US.
A group of inspectors general is expected to file a lawsuit challenging their dismissals by Trump and are in talks with law firms to that end.
