@mayor.nyc.gov weighs in on the SCOTUS #birthrightcitzenship decision

Statement from Mayor Mamdani on Supreme Court Decision to Uphold Birthright Citizenship

NEW YORK – In response to the Supreme Court’s decision to reaffirm birthright citizenship and strike down the Trump administration’s executive order denying citizenship to children born to immigrant parents without legal status or on temporary visas, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani released the following statement:

“Today’s Supreme Court ruling affirms a promise that was written into our Constitution more than 150 years ago: if you are born on American soil, you are an American citizen, no matter the color of your skin, where your parents were born, how you worship, or the language you speak at home. This should never have been in doubt. The federal administration sought to rewrite one of the clearest guarantees in our Constitution in an effort to decide who belongs in this country and who does not. Today, the Court rejected that effort.

“New York City is living proof of the power of birthright citizenship. The children of immigrants are our teachers, nurses, construction workers, small business owners, artists, public servants and neighbors. They are New Yorkers, and they are Americans.

“So, to every immigrant family across the five boroughs: hear me clearly. You belong here. Your children belong here. No court can erase your humanity. No political agenda will change what we know to be true: this country's diversity is our greatest strength. As long as I am mayor, New York City will defend your rights, protect your dignity and stand shoulder to shoulder with you in the fight for a better America.”

Hochul statement

STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL ON THE FINAL PASSAGE OF TRUMP’S BIG UGLY BILL IN THE HOUSE

“Today’s vote makes it official: all seven New York Republicans in Congress voted to rip health care away from 1.5 million New Yorkers and jeopardize SNAP benefits for nearly 3 million more. They had two chances to stand up to Donald Trump and fight for the people they serve. They failed both times, gambling with their constituents’ lives to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

“To the 48,000 New Yorkers set to lose their coverage in Rep. LaLota’s district, the 48,000 in Rep. Garbarino’s, the 52,000 in Rep. Malliotakis’, the 31,000 in Rep. Lawler’s, the 44,000 in Rep. Stefanik’s, the 35,000 in Rep. Langworthy’s, and the 31,000 in Rep. Tenney’s: your members of Congress may have given up on you, but I never will.

“As Governor, your family’s health and well-being is my top priority. And I will keep fighting every single day to shield you from the cruelty and chaos coming out of Washington.”
