Attorney General Tong Issues Statement Following Latest Executive Orders Targeting Birthright Citizenship

Attorney General William Tong

08/06/2026

(Hartford, CT)- Attorney General William Tong issued the following statement after President Donald Trump signed two executive orders seeking once again to attack birthright citizenship. These orders come just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Trump’s efforts to end birthright citizenship through an executive order he signed on the first day of his second term.

“The U.S. Supreme Court already rejected Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, but rather than accept that decision, he’s back with another scheme to undermine and gut one of our Constitution’s clearest guarantees. The Fourteenth Amendment means what it says, and Trump cannot rewrite it or manufacture new exemptions because the Court rejected his blatantly unconstitutional efforts. We are reviewing these actions and considering all appropriate options.”
