Gov. Pritzker Statement on Supreme Court's Birthright Citizenship Ruling
June 27, 2025
BELLEVILLE- Governor JB Pritzker released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s ruling today in Trump v. CASA:
“Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America. Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a dangerous sign that Donald Trump is further consolidating power and putting his own interest above the needs of the American people. As Trump and his allies continue to attack the Rule of Law and undermine the foundations of the United States Constitution, Illinois will stay true to who we are: we are the Land of Lincoln, and we will forcefully defend the freedoms and rights of our people.”
