Statement from Governor Kathy Hochul

Government and Politics

June 27, 2025

From: New York Governor Kathy Hochul

“The Supreme Court just made it easier for Donald Trump to impose unconstitutional, dangerous and un-American policies. Let’s be clear: birthright citizenship is a constitutional right, and nothing in today's decision changes that. Immigrants and their families are the backbone of our communities and a vital part of New York’s identity. I will continue to use every tool at my disposal to protect them from the cruelty coming out of Washington.”
