Virginia AG Joins Coalition Defending Birthright Citizenship in Supreme Court Case
A coalition of 23 states and D.C. filed a brief defending the 14th Amendment and opposing an executive order banning birthright citizenship, citing harm to children and legal precedent.
- Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes joined attorneys general from Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, and others in filing an amicus brief at the U.S. Supreme Court supporting birthright citizenship.
- Mayes argues that the executive order last year, which challenged the Fourteenth Amendment, prompted attorneys general to file an amicus brief defending birthright citizenship.
- Advocates pointed to historical precedent, citing United States v. Wong Kim Ark, and CIS data shows nearly 7% of U.S. births involved illegal immigrants last year.
- The amicus brief warned the executive order 'profoundly harms the States' and risks a vulnerable underclass of children, while attorneys general highlighted centuries of birthright citizenship precedent.
- On the legislative front, attorneys general from 24 jurisdictions filed an amicus brief supporting birthright citizenship, arguing the executive order violates the 14th Amendment and the INA.
