U.S. Supreme Court Restores Birthright Citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's executive order that aimed to deny citizenship to children born in the United States to undocumented or temporary‑status parents. In a decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court affirmed that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of parental immigration status. The ruling overturns the 2017 policy and reaffirms the constitutional principle that birthright citizenship cannot be removed without a constitutional amendment. President Trump denounced the decision on his Truth Social platform, calling it “the most disastrous” for the nation and urging Congress to pass legislation to counteract the Court’s ruling.
