Statement from Attorney General Raúl Torrez on Supreme Court Decision in Birthright Citizenship Case

  • June 27, 2025

“While we are disappointed that the Supreme Court has allowed the President’s unconstitutional executive order limiting birthright citizenship to be enforced in certain parts of the country, New Mexicans should take comfort in the fact that this decision will not impact our communities because of our steadfast commitment to upholding the rule of law and our willingness to fight to uphold our constitutional order.

We remain confident that this Executive Order – clearly unlawful and deeply harmful to millions of Americans – will ultimately be struck down. Until then, our fight continues, and we will not waver in our commitment to safeguarding the Constitution and the dignity of all who call this country home.”
