WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) released a statement following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision limiting the ability of federal district courts to issue nationwide injunctions—even when actions are clearly unconstitutional, such as the President’s executive order eliminating birthright citizenship. The ruling significantly weakens the authority of lower courts to halt the nationwide implementation of unlawful and unconstitutional federal actions.
“This Supreme Court decision is a blow to Americans’ ability to get equal justice under the law,” dijo el Senador Rosen. “By limiting nationwide injunctions, the Court is stripping away a critical tool used to protect against illegal or unconstitutional actions from Donald Trump and any future administration. Congress needs to pass my bill that’ll stop Trump’s unconstitutional Executive Order on birthright citizenship from being implemented, recognizing that children born in the U.S. are American citizens.”
Senator Rosen has been a leader in fighting back against Donald Trump’s unconstitutional Executive Order attempting to overturn automatic citizenship for kids born in the United States. She was one of the first Congressional leaders to come out forcefully against it. Her Born In The USA Act would effectively block the President’s unconstitutional birthright citizenship Executive Order.
