Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship

In a fractured decision in *Trump v. Barbara*, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Donald J. Trump's executive order attempting to prospectively deny citizenship to American-born children of unlawfully or temporarily present parents is unlawful. The Court's 5-4 decision on the constitutional question and 6-3 on the legality of the executive order affirmed a broader interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause.
