AG Raoul issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara.

“Birthright citizenship was not a right solely created by amending the Constitution, as America’s tradition of birthright citizenship predates the 14th Amendment and the abolition of slavery in the United States. The notion that this decision wasn’t unanimous is disappointing, given the plain language of the 14th Amendment…”- AG Raoul
