If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.
And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional.
In Illinois, we follow the law.
This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.
