Dear John,
This morning, the Supreme Court began hearing arguments in Trump v. Barbara , a case to determine the future of birthright citizenship in the United States. For more than 150 years, the 14th Amendment has made clear that anyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen and has a right to the protections, programs, and services it provides, but yet again we are witnessing an unconstitutional attack on immigrant families in this country. The Supreme Court rejecting the Constitution and stripping citizenship from people born in this country would have dire consequences for millions of children and families. Not only could this ruling leave hundreds of thousands of U.S.-born children stateless each year, but they would also lose access to critical health and social services. We hope that the Court will uphold its responsibility to abide by the Constitution and continue to protect this fundamental right of people born in this country, and we will continue to do all we can to advocate for the rights and safety of immigrant families.

Political / Policy Update: PIF partners seek Summary Judgment to block the State Department’s 75 Country Visa Ban, Minnesota files suit seeking Medicaid Payment
PIF partners filed a motion for partial summary judgment in CLINIC v. Rubio , the case challenging the State Department’s 75 country visa ban. Plaintiffs argue that that the State Department, “undeterred by Congress’s choices in the Immigration and Nationality Act, [has] imposed a categorical nationality-based ban on legal immigration for nationals of 75 countries—nearly half of all visa applicants—based on the unsupported and demonstrably false claim that nationals of the covered countries migrate to the United States to “unlawfully utilize welfare” or “public benefits” more broadly and are likely to become “public charges.”” Read the memo in support of their motion here [[link removed]] .
In early March, Minnesota filed suit against the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which had announced last January that it would withhold more than $2 billion in federal Medicaid funds from the state due to allegations of fraud. After CMS approved Minnesota’s corrective action plan on March 19, but did not release Minnesota’s funds as promised, Minnesota filed a Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and expedited handling [[link removed]] of its case to seek payment.
