WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Congressman Eric Sorensen released a statement following the Supreme Court's decision to reject President Trump's executive order overturning birthright citizenship:

"Birthright citizenship has been part of our Constitution since 1868 and is a key right for all of us. I am relieved that it was protected by the Supreme Court today," said Congressman Eric Sorensen. "We must continue to stand with our neighbors as Trump tries to take basic rights away from the American people."
