US Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, blocks Trump order

- President Trump signed the executive order on Jan. 20, 2025, seeking to restrict citizenship exclusively to children of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, potentially affecting roughly 255,000 babies annually.
- Chief Justice John Roberts' majority opinion cited the 1898 United States v. Wong Kim Ark decision, holding that children born to parents unlawfully or temporarily present remain "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States.
- President Trump indicated he would abide by the ruling but called the policy "tremendously destructive," while Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, urged Congress to "act immediately" through legislation countering the decision.
- The decision marks the third major Supreme Court loss for Trump's second-term agenda, following rulings against his tariff policies and Federal Reserve appointments, concluding a term focused on executive power limits.
