Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett accused the U.S. Supreme Court of "bending the law" to place President Donald Trump above the Constitution.
After the Supreme Court moved to limit the power of individual judges to issue nationwide injunctions, including ones that blocked efforts to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants, the president called the decision a "giant," according to AP News.
Crockett, a Democratic lawmaker and frequent critic of the president, condemned the conservative-majority Court's decision in a statement on X Friday.
"Don't get it twisted—today's SCOTUS ruling makes it harder for courts to fully block dangerous policies like Trump's attack on birthright citizenship," Crockett wrote. "Once again, they're bending the law to serve him instead of defending the Constitution."
"It's shameful," she added.

Although President Trump celebrated the Court's decision, the ruling remains vague enough to keep birthright citizenship changes blocked nationwide, AP News reported.
