Rogowski said that during Trump's first term “it became more common for groups and for states to directly challenge the president immediately upon the issuance of the directive with which they disagreed.” Former Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., an ABC News contributor, called the pardons of the Jan. 6 rioters "unsettling" to members of Congress on both sides of the aisle.

Another federal lawsuit was brought by an undocumented expectant mother and two nonprofit groups, arguing the executive order is an attempt to reinterpret the 14th Amendment's guarantee of citizenship to nearly every person born in the United States. "We will not let this attack on newborns and future generations of Americans go unchallenged. The Trump administration's overreach is so egregious that we are confident we will ultimately prevail,” said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ACLU.

"There was cooperation between the two governments at that time," Sheinbaum said.
