Wilson Releases Statement on Supreme Court Decision Reaffirming Birthright Citizenship | 2026-06-30 | 2026 | 2026-06 | Democrat | House | FL | Frederica S. Wilson | W000808 | wilson.house.gov | wilson | https://wilson.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24) released the following statement after the Supreme Court reaffirmed birthright citizenship and rejected President Trump's effort to limit the constitutional guarantee. "I welcome today's Supreme Court decision reaffirming birthright citizenship, a victory for the Constitution and for families across America. The Court made clear that children born in the United States, including those whose parents are here unlawfully or only temporarily, are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. “This decision brings relief to countless families who have spent months fearing that one of our nation's most fundamental constitutional protections could be stripped away. Birthright citizenship is not a political favor. It is a constitutional guarantee that has stood for more than 150 years and reflects our nation's enduring commitment to equal protection under the law. “Every child born in the United States deserves the full rights and protections of citizenship, regardless of their parents' immigration status. While today's ruling is an important victory, we must remain vigilant in defending the Constitution and protecting immigrant families from continued attacks on their rights and their dignity. “I will never stop fighting to ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow up with the security, freedom, and promise that American citizenship provides." ### | 1 | 2026-07-01T06:34:07Z | 2026-07-01T06:35:35Z |
