Joint Statement on Trump V. Barbara Oral Argument
MADISON, Wis. – Attorney General Josh Kaul joined a coalition of 24 attorneys general in issuing the following statement as the U.S. Supreme Court holds oral arguments on President Trump’s unlawful executive order attempting to terminate birthright citizenship:
“The President’s executive order redefining birthright citizenship violates our Constitution, federal statutes, and the rule that has governed our Nation for more than 150 years. We were proud to lead the fight against this unlawful order, and grateful for the injunctions we obtained that prevented this action from ever taking effect. We are optimistic the U.S. Supreme Court will agree with every judge to consider this executive order on the merits and hold that it violates this fundamental constitutional right.”
AG Kaul is joined in the statement by the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia.
