AG Campbell issued the following statement in response to today’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in Trump v. Barbara, upholding the constitutional right to birthright citizenship.

 “For more than 150 years, the Fourteenth Amendment has stood as a cornerstone of equal protection under the law, born out of our nation’s fight to end slavery and oppression. Without the Fourteenth Amendment, I could not have run to become Attorney General of Massachusetts. Today, the Supreme Court left in place the principle that the President cannot rewrite the Constitution by executive order, and birthright citizenship remains settled law…” -AG Campbell
