Albuquerque, NM – New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez – as part of a coalition of 24 attorneys general – have issued a joint statement regarding the Trump v. Barbara oral argument held today at the U.S. Supreme Court. In February, Attorney General Torrez and the coalition filed an amicus brief in the Trump v. Barbara case defending birthright citizenship.
“The President’s executive order redefining birthright citizenship violates our Constitution, federal statutes, and the rule that has governed our Nation for more than 150 years. We were proud to lead the fight against this unlawful order, and grateful for the injunctions we obtained that prevented this action from ever taking effect. We are optimistic the U.S. Supreme Court will agree with every judge to consider this executive order on the merits and hold that it violates this fundamental constitutional right.”
