Queens lawmakers denounce Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s birthright citizenship order

Elected officials across Queens are speaking out against a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limits the authority of lower court judges to issue nationwide injunctions, particularly in cases involving President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.

In a 6-3 decision split along ideological lines, the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration’s request to curb the power of federal judges to block executive actions on a nationwide scale.
