I urge you to denounce the Supreme Court’s decision released on June 27, 2025, regarding the Trump administration’s attempt to restrict birthright citizenship.
The Court’s 6–3 ruling—in an opinion by Justice Amy Coney Barrett—did not address whether the executive order is constitutional. Instead, it narrowed the scope of nationwide injunctions, allowing courts to block policies only for litigants, not all Americans en.wikipedia.org+7reuters.com+7ncronline.org+7 (https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-supreme-court-may-rule-allowing-enforcement-trump-birthright-citizenship-2025-06-27/?utm_source=chatgpt.com).
While the opinion confines injunction relief to specific plaintiffs, it simultaneously pressures lower courts to reconsider their broader national blocks—potentially enabling the controversial executive order to advance in many jurisdictions .
Let me be clear: this is NOT a victory for constitutional rule or judicial restraint. It undermines the ability of courts to protect citizens nationwide from executive overreach, especially when the policy in question directly threatens fundamental rights commanded by the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause.
By limiting nationwide injunctions, today’s ruling fractures the unity of legal protection across states. Its impact is both immediate and sweeping: hundreds of thousands of U.S.-born children—already born or soon to be born—face a real risk of being stripped of their American citizenship due to where they live or which judge presides .
Respectfully, our senators should take immediate action to:
1 Speak out publicly against this decision—clarifying that it emboldens executive encroachment and jeopardizes constitutional guarantees.
2 Support legislation to restore nationwide judicial protections, ensuring courts can act consistently in defense of constitutional rights.
3 Advocate for a definitive Supreme Court review on the constitutionality of birthright citizenship itself, rather than sidestepping the issue through procedural rulings.
We must safeguard the principle that “all persons born…in the United States…are citizens,” as the 14th Amendment promises. Anything less is a betrayal of the promise of equal justice under law.
Thank you for considering my urgent call. I will follow this issue closely and appreciate your leadership defending the rights of American citizens—especially the youngest among us.
