Congressman Ruiz’s Statement on the Supreme Court’s Birthright Citizenship Decision

Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Dr. Raul Ruiz released the following statement: 

“The Supreme Court’s decision to limit the authority of federal district courts to issue nationwide injunctions is a reckless blow to our system of checks and balances. But let me be clear: the fight to protect birthright citizenship is far from over.

“Every child born in the United States is a citizen of this nation. That is not up for debate—it is a constitutional right. We will continue to stand up, speak out, and pursue every legal avenue to ensure that this right is robustly defended and fully vindicated.”
