NJ Attorney General Platkin issues statement on Supreme Court decision in birthright citizenship case

Published Date: Jun 27, 2025

“Although we disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision today, we are glad the Court recognized that nationwide orders can be appropriate to protect the plaintiffs themselves from harm—which is true, and has always been true, in our case. We welcome the opportunity to continue making our case before the district court, particularly because the Executive Order will not take immediate effect, to show that the President’s approach to birthright citizenship is a recipe for chaos on the ground and harm to the States. We are confident that his flagrantly unconstitutional order will remain enjoined by the courts. And in the meantime, our fight continues: we will keep challenging President Trump’s flagrantly unlawful order, which strips American babies of citizenship for the first time since the Civil War, and we look forward to a decision in the coming months that holds this disgraceful order unlawful for good.” – AG Platkin
