    Hindus for Human Rights Welcomes Supreme Court Decision Upholding Birthright Citizenship
    No president can rewrite the Constitution to decide which children born on U.S. soil are worthy of belonging. 
    Washington, D.C. (June 30th, 2026) — Hindus for Human Rights welcomes today’s Supreme Court decision in Trump v. Barbara, which reaffirms that children born in the United States are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment, regardless of whether their parents are undocumented or temporarily present in the country.

     This ruling is a vital defense of constitutional equality, immigrant families, and the basic democratic promise that citizenship cannot be turned into a weapon of exclusion.
    For South Asian American communities, this decision carries particular weight.

    Generations of South Asians in the United States have lived with the burden of being treated as perpetual foreigners, even while building families, communities, businesses, movements, temples, mosques, gurdwaras, churches, schools, and public institutions in this country.

    The Supreme Court today reminded the Trump administration: we belong to the US because we live here.  Hindus for Human Rights was proud to join South Asian civil rights and community organizations in urging the Supreme Court to reject this attack on birthright citizenship.

    Our position is rooted not only in constitutional principle, but in our deepest moral and spiritual commitments: that every person is born with dignity and that a just society must refuse attempts to divide families into worthy and unworthy, citizen and suspect, insider and outsider. 

    The Fourteenth Amendment was born out of this country’s struggle to confront slavery, racial hierarchy, and the denial of personhood.

    This amendment clearly states that any person born in the United States is a citizen of this country. No President can put conditions on that citizenship.

    Today’s decision is an important victory, but it is not the end of the work. The President’s attacks on birthright citizenship are part of a white nationalist agenda to remove immigrants and people of color from this country. 

    Immigrant communities across the country continue to face raids, detention, family separation, violence, and political scapegoating. We call on elected officials, government agencies, faith communities, and civil society organizations to ensure that this ruling is fully respected and that all children and families are treated with dignity under the law.

    Hindus for Human Rights will continue to organize from a Hindu commitment to justice, pluralism, and the sacred worth of every human being.
    We will continue to fight for immigrant families and multiracial democracy.
