State Attorney General Jonathan Skulmetti has supported President Donald Trump’s order, since February 19, banning birthright citizenship for children born to immigrants without permanent legal status.

The Attorney General filed an Amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court last week, denies citizenship to those children and backed Trump’s move to ban U.S. agencies from issuing citizenship documents. According to the legal summary, the courts that issued the national injunction against the Trump Order should instead be limited to certain cases and not permitted to issue a cleaning order.

“The American people are the ultimate authority and legitimacy of all branches of the government, and all courts that interpret the constitution must adhere to the understanding of voters who have adopted the constitution,” Skrmetti said in a statement. “Damage to American sovereignty through judicial overreach threatens to alienate people from our constitutional system and thereby cause serious harm to freedom and public order.”

The Trump administration last week asked the Supreme Court to make birthright restrictions partially effective while the matter was in court after district judges in Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington blocked orders nationwide. Three federal courts declined Trump’s request.

According to Skrmetti’s release, the influx of more than 9 million immigrants without permanent legal status in recent years was caused by a “spread interpretation” of the Civil Rights Clause.
