The Notre Dame College Republicans issued a stern denunciation of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett after she ruled against President Donald Trump’s attempt to rescind birthright citizenship.

Barrett’s ruling on the birthright citizenship case proved decisive, giving the liberal justices a 5-4 majority in saying Trump’s executive order banning birthright citizenship violated the Constitution. She was also among the six justices, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, who ruled that the executive order was unlawful. Conservatives across the country were outraged, but few expressed it as strongly as the GOP student group at Barrett’s alma mater, Notre Dame.

“Barrett is an absolute disgrace to the Notre Dame name. We apologize on her behalf to all who will suffer the devastating consequences of infinity third-world migration,” the Notre Dame College Republicans said in a post on X.

The account was angered enough by the decision that it dismissed Barrett’s other rulings it approved of, calling them irrelevant.

“Who honestly cares?” it said in response to a post about the Supreme Court restricting transgender people in sports based on their biological sex. “The Supreme Court is about to decide the children of illegals, guest workers, and tourists are ‘Americans,’ making it impossible to limit immigration but hey, at least we saved women’s basketball!”

Another post was even more critical, calling the Tuesday decision one of the worst in U.S. history.

“4 days before the Fourth of July, the United States is officially no longer a sovereign or independent nation,” the account said. “The Supreme Court has just ruled the children of illegals, temporary workers, and even literal tourists are entitled to U.S. citizenship at birth, and that not even an act of Congress can change this. Yes, this is one of the worst rulings in American history, making it virtually impossible to limit immigration, on par with Roe, Obergefell, Lawrence, and more.”
