US Supreme Court reject Donald Trump executive order on birthright citizenship
The US Supreme Court has rejected an executive order by Donald Trump that sought to deny automatic birthright citizenship to children born in the US to undocumented migrants. In a 6-3 decision, the justices upheld the 14th Amendment's provision for birthright citizenship, with Chief Justice John Roberts emphasizing the historical intent of the amendment.
Why it matters
This ruling reaffirms a long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment, preventing a significant shift in US immigration and citizenship policy. It marks a notable legal defeat for former President Trump's efforts to restrict immigration and clarifies the rights of individuals born on US soil.
