LULAC APPLAUDS FEDERAL COURT RULING BLOCKING PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER ON
BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
=================================================================================


Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Affirms the Sanctity
of Being Born on American Soil

Washington, DC – The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) today
issued the following statement in response to the federal court's ruling
temporarily blocking President Trump's executive order attempting to end
automatic citizenship for babies born on American soil. LULAC is a plaintiff in a
separate lawsuit with the ACLU to protect birthright citizenship [ [link removed] ] :

"LULAC wholeheartedly affirms the decision of the federal judge to stop this
attack on one of our nation's most treasured constitutional protections," said
Roman Palomares, LULAC National President and Chairman of the Board. "Any child
born on our soil has the right to be called a citizen, and that right is
irrevocable and should not be tampered with. We call upon all Americans to rise
in unity and respect for this important and invaluable right."

The ruling was issued by Federal District Court Judge John C. Coughenour against
efforts to overhaul the nation's immigration laws and reverse decades of
established precedent. The executive order sought to deny citizenship to children
born in the United States to undocumented immigrants, as well as to those born to
mothers legally in the country on temporary visas, such as tourists, students, or
temporary workers. Judge Coughenour called the executive order a "blatantly
unconstitutional" attempt to undermine the Fourteenth Amendment.

LULAC has long been at the forefront of defending the constitutional rights of
all individuals in the United States, particularly those impacting Latino
communities. The organization views the federal court's ruling as an affirmation
of the foundational principles enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment, which
guarantees birthright citizenship to all individuals born on U.S. soil. A
preliminary injunction hearing in the LULAC case [ [link removed] ]
is scheduled for February 10th in U.S. District Court in Concord, N.H.

"LULAC will continue to advocate for the protection of our nation's fundamental
constitutional civil rights as a nonpartisan organization that believes in our
country's spirit, tradition, and legal framework," added Palomares. "These values
are what set us apart from the rest of the world and are not something to be
taken lightly."
