Oversight Project Uncovers ‘Secret Agreement’ Among Dem-Led States To Resist Trump Agenda

The Oversight Project on Monday revealed documentation of what they described as a “secret agreement” among 22 states to plot their resistance to President Donald Trump’s agenda, especially on immigration, just three days after Trump’s landslide victory.

The document focuses on “developing potential litigation” by sharing information and documents and using other methods to stop Trump from “ending or curtailing birthright citizenship.” Notably, Trump has already signed an executive order to effectively stop the practice of birthright citizenship, though it’s currently blocked.

“We have obtained a secret agreement between 22 blue states, DC, and San Francisco, signed beginning on November 8, 2024,” the Oversight Project said. “This agreement, just 3 days after President Trump’s landslide election win, shows that these resistance actors began, as a matter of absolute urgent top priority, plotting their resistance to President Trump’s anticipated actions to end birthright citizenship.”

“The Parties have agreed that they have a common interest in developing potential litigation to challenge executive action related to ending or curtailing birthright citizenship (the ‘Common Interest Matter’),” the document reads.

The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, which obtained the document, uses Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and other avenues to make the government more transparent by disseminating information to the public, according to the group’s website.

The document further outlines how the states will interact to advance their resistance efforts. “The Parties agree to share information, documents, and communications for the purpose of advancing their common interest, including but not limited to potentially filing complaints, dispositive motions, and briefs and commenting on draft filings, to keep such information and materials confidential, and to protect any privileges attaching to such information and materials to the extent authorized by law,” it reads. “The Parties also agree that the sharing of information, both written and oral, among each Party’s staff, management, consultants,
experts, counsel, and all of their agents will further their common objectives.”

The Oversight Project criticized the agreement, saying the Democrat leaders are working to subvert the will of the people, which was voiced on Election Day, to advance their own power.

“Despite the mandate from the American People to end the border crisis and return immigration enforcement to the United States, politicians instead acted to frantically preserve their perceived political gains of the Biden Border Crisis,” the group said.

“Their top priority was not gas, groceries, public safety, or any other matter of concerns of their citizen constituents, but instead a raw political calculus to ensure that the future children of the illegal aliens that entered during the Biden Border Crisis could turn into voters,” the post continued. “Instead of trying to win back American voters, they seek to create new ones to replace them on the back of the worst border crisis in American history.”
