WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, Senator Andy Kim released the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled to limit lower courts’ power to block President Trump’s Executive Order to end birthright citizenship. The court did not address the legal merits of this Executive Order itself, leaving it open for further litigation: 

“No President, including Donald Trump, has the power to unilaterally change our constitution and strip away the birthright citizenship defined within it. 

“Today’s decision is not the end of the road. 

“My parents came to this country 50 years ago in awe of what America stood for. Stories like our family’s are what makes our country a beacon of hope and opportunity, and not something a single president’s Executive Order should ever be able to override.”
