I’m writing today to insist you ensure every child born in this state is provided a birth certificate, regardless of the status of their parents. Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional, and has been deemed such by a judge. His order is on temporary hold, and I demand that regardless of any appeals, you continue to provide children on US soil with their lawfully protected citizenship status. This is not a matter of personal interpretation, nor a matter of policy. This is laid out bare in the constitution, which you swore an oath to protect and defend. I expect you to continue issuing birth certificates, and I also expect you to publicly denounce Trump’s unlawful order.
Thank you
