Summary

Donald Trump suffered his first legal setback Thursday when a federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship. The judge delivered quite a smackdown, saying the move “boggles my mind.” This comes as Trump’s Justice Department is now threatening to prosecute local officials who don’t comply with his immigration agenda. But that, too, appears to lack real legal basis. The quality of his arguments so far suggests resistance from the states may have some success. We talked to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who outlines the lawlessness he anticipates from Trump, what his state’s resistance will look like, and why there’s a real shot at hindering his ugliest intentions.

1:11.1	The judge delivered quite a smackdown, saying that the administration's argument, quote, boggles my mind and that he hadn't seen anything quite this absurd in four decades on the bench.
1:17.4	This comes as Trump's Justice Department has just issued a new thread to prosecute state and local
1:23.0	officials who stand in the way of his immigration agenda. But that, too, looks like it clearly lacks a
