Protesters slam Senators Kelly and Gallego for Silence on Trump Administration

Protestors gathered at the offices of both Arizona’s Democratic U.S. Senators Kelly and Gallego as they complained about the silence from the senators over the Trump administration. The protestors said they viewed Kelly and Gallego as too timid to speak against the Trump administration.

‘I mean, obviously, folks on the left are not super happy about what they have been seeing for the past few weeks of the new Trump administration. They want, Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly to keep stronger stands, do more fight against the administration,’ Jeremy Duda said.

The Birthright Citizenship

Attorney General Kris Mayes filed a multistate federal lawsuit challenging Trump’s executive order to end Birthright Citizenship across the United States.

In response the DOJ said, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has no legal right to overturn President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship.

‘Birthright Citizenship was passed after the Civil War with the intent to give citizenship to the freed slaves and freed back men,’ Howie Fischer said.
