In response to the Supreme Court’s majority ruling in Trump v. CASA, Inc., DNC Chair Ken Martin issued the following statement:

“While the Court focused on procedural pathways for plaintiffs, the broader danger remains: Trump is openly committed to ending birthright citizenship, and this is a step in that direction. If Trump gets his way, overturning birthright citizenship will create chaos in our communities. It could force hospitals to demand proof of citizenship from pregnant women, make birth certificates unreliable, and even leave U.S.-born children stateless. Let’s be clear: Ending birthright citizenship is central to Trump’s broader radical agenda to target immigrant families, one that would shrink our workforce, raise costs for families, and deepen labor shortages. 

“That is why Democrats will continue to fight back — through the courts, in Congress, in our communities, and at the ballot box — to defend the Constitution and the shared value that America belongs to all of us.”
