ILLINOIS (WCIA) — The Supreme Court issued its decision on President Donald Trump’s executive order trying to ban birthright citizenship, and some Illinois officials are criticizing that ruling.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines the judiciary does not have the power to issue injunctions that affect everyone in the nation.

“These injunctions, known as universal injunctions, likely exceed the equitable authority that Congress has granted to federal courts,” the majority decision written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett reads.

President Donald Trump declared the court’s decision as “a monumental victory”.

“In recent months we’ve seen a handful of radical left judges effectively, try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers,” Trump said. “That was a grave threat to democracy frankly and instead of merely ruling on the immediate cases before them.”

Ed Yohnka, the communications director of ACLU-IL, said the decision’s impact will create inefficiencies in federal courts.

“The court is suggesting that when people are challenging these unconstitutional orders by a president like the current president, that we have to do so in multiple jurisdictions across the country and consume lots of resources and lots of energy,” Yohnka said.

Attorney General Pam Bondi celebrated the ruling as she pointed out that 35 of the 40 nationwide injunctions came from courts in four states (California, Maryland, Massachusetts and Washington) and D.C.

“No longer will we have rogue judges striking down President Trump’s policies across the entire nation,” Bondi said at a Friday news conference.

The decision will take effect in 30 days, which Yohnka said gives immigrant advocates time to find new solutions.

“While I am concerned about it, I also know that there will be people who will be working diligently night and day over these next 30 days to ensure that this, again, reckless, unconstitutional, executive order doesn’t harm a single person across the country,” Yohnka said.

Governor J.B. Pritzker also criticized the decision for funneling more power to the executive branch.

“Today’s Supreme Court ruling is a dangerous sign that Donald Trump is further consolidating power and putting his own interest above the needs of the American people,” he said in a statement. “As Trump and his allies continue to attack the Rule of Law and undermine the foundations of the United States Constitution, Illinois will stay true to who we are: we are the Land of Lincoln, and we will forcefully defend the freedoms and rights of our people.”

The Supreme Court’s decision did not “address” the merits of birthright citizenship. Bondi said they will challenge birthright citizenship during the Supreme Court’s next term in October.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul said birthright citizenship remains the law in the state.

“President Trump’s attempt to strip American babies of citizenship is a flagrantly unconstitutional move that disregards the 14th Amendment and the principle of separation of powers upon which our government was founded,” he said in a statement.

“As a birthright citizen myself, this is a deeply personal issue for me,” Raoul added. “As our case continues, I will continue to fight alongside our coalition in challenging President Trump’s executive order and am confident that, under the guidance provided today by the U.S. Supreme Court, our arguments for complete relief will prevail.”
