US Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, blocks Trump order
The 6-3 ruling says children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are citizens at birth.
- The US Supreme Court blocked President Trump's executive order that sought to limit birthright citizenship, ruling it unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment in a 6-3 decision.
- The order would have restricted citizenship to children born in the US with at least one parent who is a US citizen or permanent resident, excluding children of temporary visitors or undocumented immigrants.
- The ruling reaffirmed longstanding legal precedent that nearly all persons born on US soil are citizens, citing the 14th Amendment and the 1898 United States v. Wong Kim Ark case.
- The ruling stopped enforcement of the policy, which would have stripped citizenship from about 255,000 children annually born to undocumented or temporary visitors.
