Friend,

Like many of you, we’re feeling the weight of recent Supreme Court decisions that continue to chip away at the laws and processes through which we fight for fairness and justice. We share your concern, frustration, and commitment to standing with our immigrant families, friends, and neighbors—especially now.

One of these decisions, Trump v. CASA, Inc., has caused a lot of confusion and opened the door for misinformation. So let’s be clear:

This ruling does not eliminate birthright citizenship.

The Supreme Court did not decide whether President Trump’s attempt to deny citizenship to some children born in the U.S. is legal. That question is still being fought in the courts.Instead, the Court focused on a different issue: when lower courts can issue nationwide rulings that block harmful policies everywhere, not just for the people directly involved in a case.The Court said that while nationwide orders are generally discouraged, they might still be allowed if they’re the only way to fully protect the people bringing the lawsuit. For example, some states argued that having different rules about citizenship in different places would create chaos—especially for children who move or depend on federal programs.That specific issue was sent back to the lower courts for more review.

What hasn’t changed:

The Executive Order trying to end birthright citizenship has already been ruled clearly unconstitutional by multiple courts.

The 14th Amendment still protects the right of anyone born in the U.S. to be a citizen. That hasn’t changed, and we’ll keep fighting to make sure it never does.You are not alone.Legal challenges continue, and we’re right here with you. If you or someone you know is looking for help or information:
