Relative to birthright citizenship.
Senate Resolution 32 is a symbolic resolution passed by the California Senate opposing President Trump's Executive Order No. 14160, which sought to limit birthright citizenship for children of certain immigrants. The resolution affirms that birthright citizenship is protected by the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as established by the 1898 Supreme Court case United States v. Wong Kim Ark. It states that denying birthright citizenship would harm children of immigrants by limiting their access to education, healthcare, and essential services like CalWORKs and CalFresh. The resolution was adopted unanimously (27-0) on July 10, 2025, and will be sent to federal officials as a statement of opposition. This resolution does not change any law but expresses California's position on this constitutional issue.
