Grijalva Reacts to SCOTUS Decisions Upholding Birthright Citizenship, Restrictions for Transgender Student Athletes | 2026-06-30 | 2026 | 2026-06 | Democrat | House | AZ | Adelita S. Grijalva | G000606 | grijalva.house.gov | grijalva | https://grijalva.house.gov/media | scraper | Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Adelita S. Grijalva issued the following statement after the Supreme Court's decision to uphold birthright citizenship and to allow states to restrict transgender athletes from competing in high school and collegiate sports: On birthright citizenship: “Today’s Supreme Court decision reaffirms what we have known all along: if you are born in this country, you are a United States citizen. This was never a legitimate legal question. It was a basic reading comprehension test of the Constitution. At its core, this case was rooted in Trump's anti-immigrant agenda and his effort to redefine who gets to be an American, and what this country looks like. While the rule of law prevailed today, this decision does not end this administration's assault on immigrant communities. The fight to defend their rights and uphold the Constitution is far from over. On transgender student athlete restrictions: “Transgender student-athletes make up a small fraction of young people in this country, yet Republicans have spent years turning one of the most vulnerable groups into a political scapegoat. At a time when families are struggling with rising costs, Republicans are targeting the wrong one percent – fixating on this tiny group of marginalized students instead of taking on the billionaires and special interests driving economic inequality. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and be part of a team without being excluded because of who they are.” | 1 | 2026-07-01T06:34:07Z | 2026-07-01T06:35:35Z |
