US Supreme Court Blocks Trump Order Limiting Birthright Citizenship
The US Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that children born in the United States to parents residing illegally or temporarily in the country are entitled to birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. The 6-3 decision invalidated a presidential order signed by Donald Trump early in his administration that sought to restrict automatic citizenship in such cases. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and Ketanji Brown Jackson. Dissenting were Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Samuel Alito, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh partially concurring but expressing reservations about some reasoning. The Court emphasized that the language of the 14th Amendment and longstanding precedent require citizenship for nearly all individuals born on US soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status. The ruling marks a significant legal defeat for the Trump administration's immigration policies.
