The U.S. Supreme Court issued a flurry of significant rulings on Friday, among them one that decided individual judges lack the authority to grant nationwide injunctions, but the decision left unclear the fate of President Donald Trump's restrictions on birthright citizenship.

The president issued an executive order earlier this year that would deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of people who are in the country illegally, so-called birthright citizenship that is outlined in the Fourteenth Amendment.

New York officials weighed the ruling along their ideological lines.

“The Supreme Court just made it easier for Donald Trump to impose unconstitutional, dangerous and un-American policies. Let’s be clear: birthright citizenship is a constitutional right, and nothing in today's decision changes that,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement. “Immigrants and their families are the backbone of our communities and a vital part of New York’s identity. I will continue to use every tool at my disposal to protect them from the cruelty coming out of Washington.”

State Attorney General Letitia James, also Democrat, said the decision was disappointing but insisted the legal fight is not over.

“While I am confident that our case defending birthright citizenship will ultimately prevail, my heart breaks for the families whose lives may be upended by the uncertainty of this decision. My fellow attorneys general and I will continue to defend the Constitution and the common values that unite us,” she said.

Republican U.S. Rep. Nick Langworthy, who represents parts of Western New York and the Southern Tier in New York’s 23^rd Congressional District, called the ruling a monumental victory.

“This ruling is long overdue, and I’m thrilled the Court has restored balance and sanity to our judicial system,” he said in a partial statement. “No more will one judge in one district get to act like a super-legislator for the entire country. No more judicial tyranny. This decision reins in the judicial overreach that has paralyzed our government for far too long.”
