Sacramento, California - Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. issued the following statement regarding today’s ruling by U.S. District Judge John Mendez in the United States of America v. State of California, et al.:

"I agree with Judge Mendez that piecemeal judicial decisions won't solve the nation's immigration challenges. Only Congress can chart the path forward by rising above mindless, partisan divisions and working together to solve this problem, not exacerbate it."
