MIRA Coalition Responds To Supreme Court’s Ruling on Trump Administration’s Bid to End Birthright Citizenship (Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole and Chinese Translations available)

BOSTON, MA – The Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition (MIRA) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to disempower lower courts efforts to halt continued action on President Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship nationwide.

“Today’s Supreme Court decision to reject lower court injunctions provides an avenue for individual states to decide who is and is not a U.S. Citizen. President Trump has committed countless attacks on America’s immigrant community, and the Supreme Court allowing this misguided policy to move forward without pause while the lower courts rule is disgraceful,” said MIRA Coalition Executive Director Elizabeth Sweet. “The courts have recognized the 14th Amendment for over a century and this decision will not stop the MIRA Coalition from continuing to fight for the rights of immigrants in Massachusetts and across the country.”
