AG Nessel Secures Preliminary Injunction Barring Enforcement of Executive Order Attempting to Limit Birthright Citizenship

*LANSING *– Today, Judge Leo T. Sorokin in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, ordered a preliminary injunction enjoining the Trump administration from implementing and enforcing the President’s executive order that attempted to limit birthright citizenship, announced Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel. The preliminary injunction, effective immediately and nationwide, is specific relief sought by Attorney General Nessel and 17 states, plus Washington D.C. and the City of San Francisco, in their lawsuit filed January 21st [ [link removed] ] to stop the President’s unlawful action, which violates the Constitution and would harm hundreds of thousands of American children. Since January 23, the administration has been enjoined from implementing the executive order by injunctive relief granted in separate litigation. 

Attorney General Nessel issued the following statement: 

“I’m grateful to secure this essential relief from enforcement of the plainly unconstitutional executive order that aims to trample the promise of citizenship to children born in our country. This injunction will protect the constitutional rights of thousands of babies born in Michigan and across the nation while we work with our coalition to demonstrate in federal court how this executive order violates the law as plainly as it violates our American values. My commitment and oath of office require this defense of the Constitution’s Citizenship Clause, as it has been faithfully defended for 150 years.”
