Supreme Court denies Trump birthright claim

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship, rejecting President Trump’s attempt to end automatic U.S. citizenship for babies born to parents unlawfully present in the country. In a 6-3 decision, the court reaffirmed that the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, emphasizing the original meaning of the constitutional language. The ruling marked a defeat for Trump, who had sought to undo birthright citizenship through executive order, but his effort was deemed unconstitutional.
