Attorney General Nessel released the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Trump, et al. v. CASA: “This unprecedented decision doesn’t make Donald Trump’s executive order limiting birthright citizenship lawful. It simply allows it to stand in states either unwilling or afraid to challenge it, inviting this president and future ones to ignore constitutional limits. The idea that our rights now depend on where we live is unconscionable. The Constitution is not a regional document, and it should never be subject to the whims of any political party or administration. A baby born in Ohio or Indiana should be entitled to the same birthright citizenship as a baby born in Michigan or Illinois. We look forward to continuing to make this case in the courts and remain confident that we will succeed on the merits of our argument. As long as I serve as Attorney General, I will continue to fight for the rights of Michigan residents and uphold the rule of law, no matter the legal obstacles that stand in our way.” – AG Nessel
