Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Executive Order Attempting to End Birthright Citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship, striking down an executive order by President Trump that sought to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the United States to undocumented or temporarily present parents. The 6-3 majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, affirmed that birthright citizenship applies to nearly everyone born on U.S. soil.
