LULAC HAILS COURT'S REJECTION OF TRUMP'S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP ATTACK
======================================================================


Nation's Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Reaffirms Protection
for Children Born on U.S. Soil

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) welcomed
another decisive federal court ruling Friday rejecting President Donald Trump's
attempt to strip birthright citizenship from children born in the United States.

"From the beginning, LULAC has been at the vanguard of defending the rights of
children born in this country," stated Roman Palomares, LULAC National President
and Chairman of the Board. "Nearly a century of leadership has taught us that
when civil rights are threatened, we must act boldly and without hesitation. We
thank the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for their solidarity with us and
Democracy Defenders as our lead legal counsel. LULAC proudly stands with our
members, allies, and communities in defending one of the cornerstones of our
democracy."

LULAC was the first organization in the nation to file a federal lawsuit against
Trump's executive order seeking to declare the 14th Amendment unconstitutional.
Our partners included New Hampshire Indonesian Community Support and Make the
Road New York. That case prevailed in the First Circuit Court of Appeals, which
covers Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Puerto Rico, and Rhode Island. The
decision ensures that any member of LULAC in all 50 states and Puerto Rico is
protected under that precedent.

Today's ruling further affirms LULAC's position from the start: any child born on
American soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status, is a U.S.
citizen. While a separate class action lawsuit remains in progress that could
solidify protections nationwide, this victory reinforces that Trump's efforts to
undermine constitutional guarantees have no legal standing.

Juan Proaño, LULAC CEO, said, "Today's ruling validates what LULAC has maintained
from day one: the Constitution is clear. Birthright citizenship is a cornerstone
of American democracy, and LULAC was correct to stand up against this assault.
For 96 years, our organization has defended the constitutional protections of
Latinos and all communities, and we will never back down from that
responsibility."

"Today's court decision is a powerful affirmation that America's greatness lies
in the promise of equality under the law and the guarantee of inalienable rights
established in the U.S. Constitution," concluded Palomares.
