Attorney General Letitia James is suing the Trump administration over efforts to end birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court’s recent ruling, which stays preliminary injunctions against the executive order. This ruling poses a risk to the rights of children born on U.S. soil, undermining longstanding laws. James, joined by 18 states, argues this fight is crucial to protect constitutional rights, expressing confidence that their case will ultimately succeed despite the setback. The court's 6-3 decision has significant implications for citizenship and the rule of law in the United States.
Today's decision is a profound and disappointing setback for the families who now face tremendous uncertainty and danger, for the millions of people who rely on the courts to protect their constitutional rights.
Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen of this country, no matter which state they are born in. This has been the law of the land for more than a century.
