Скачать или смотреть Washington AG calls SCOTUS birthright citizenship ruling 'disappointing... unlawful and wrong'

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 Friday that individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions to block enforcement of executive orders, including getting rid of birthright citizenship. However, the decision leaves the fate of President Donald Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship unclear.

In a statement Friday morning, Washington Attorney General Nick Brown called the Supreme Court’s ruling “disappointing on many levels.”

“But importantly, this morning’s order does not dispute the issue we handily won in the trial court — that President Trump’s attempt to strip birthright citizenship is unlawful and wrong,” Brown said in his statement.

“The justices also confirmed that courts may issue broad injunctions when needed to provide complete relief to the parties. In the case led by Washington state, the trial judge already ruled that nationwide relief is necessary to protect Washington and its co-plaintiffs from the harms from the executive order. We continue to believe that President Trump’s unconstitutional and cruel order must be stopped across the country to guarantee protection for Washington and its residents."

Trump called his SCOTUS victory a “big one” during a White House news conference after the ruling, adding that he would "promptly file" to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis.

Birthright citizenship automatically makes anyone born in the United States an American citizen, including children born to mothers in the country illegally. The right was enshrined soon after the Civil War in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment
