The US Supreme Court has delivered a significant blow to President Trump’s executive order, upholding birthright citizenship for children born on American soil to undocumented or temporary visa holders. In a 6-3 decision, the court affirmed that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to nearly all individuals born in the U.S., reaffirming over a century of legal precedent. This ruling removes a key immigration initiative from the administration’s agenda.
