19 AGs Stand United with New York in Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Discourse

NEW YORK – Today, New York Attorney General Letitia James, in collaboration with 19 fellow state attorneys general, firmly championed birthright citizenship during the U.S. Supreme Court's oral discussions concerning the president’s executive order deemed unconstitutional. “Citizenship law has been clear for 127 years: those born here are citizens,” emphasized James, highlighting the administration's risk of undermining established legal norms. “The president lacks the authority to modify the Constitution,” she asserted. This strong position reinforces the importance of upholding constitutional integrity.
