Supreme Court critique of Trump on birthright citizenship
The Supreme Court ruled that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship to children born in the US, rejecting President Trump's attempt to end automatic citizenship for those born to parents in the country illegally. The 6-3 decision, authored by Chief Justice Roberts, emphasized the clear language of the amendment and historical precedent, notably referencing a 1898 case. A small dissent from conservative justices suggested Congress could pass legislation to alter birthright citizenship, but the court's ruling maintained that children born on US soil are citizens regardless of their parents' immigration status.
