Attorney General Peter F. Neronha

Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha is set to discuss his legal strategy against the Trump administration’s executive orders at an upcoming community event in Jamestown on Tuesday, March 4.

The Jamestown Democratic Town Committee is organizing a “Community Conversation” at the Jamestown Philomenian Library from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Neronha will explain a series of lawsuits he and 23 other state attorneys general have filed to challenge what they claim are illegal overreaches by President Donald Trump’s administration.

These lawsuits target the Department of Government Efficiency’s access to sensitive data under Elon Musk’s leadership and Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship.

Since taking office, Trump has signed more than 60 executive orders, the highest number in a president’s first 100 days in over four decades. These orders cover various issues, including tariffs on Mexico, China, and Canada, as well as pauses on foreign aid.

The event is open to the public.
