Attorney General Ellison released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship:

“I remain confident that my fellow attorneys general and I will defeat President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship and strip citizenship from people born in the United States for the first time in over a century. I am, however, deeply dismayed that the Supreme Court would erode the power of the judiciary to halt blatantly unconstitutional actions from President Trump through nationwide injunctions. If injunctions are going to be limited in scope to those who filed a lawsuit, it is more important than ever that state attorneys general continue to lead the legal fight in defense of the Constitution and on behalf of the people we were elected to represent." – AG Ellison
