U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees automatic citizenship to virtually every child born on American soil, regardless of the parents' immigration status. The decision reaffirmed the historic 1898 Wong Kim Ark case and rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship through an executive order.

President Trump called the ruling "too bad for our country," while Vice President JD Vance described the Court’s interpretation as an "absurdity" and a "legal loophole" exploited by illegal immigrants. The judgment marks a decisive defeat for one of Trump’s signature immigration policies and restores the long‑standing constitutional understanding of birthright citizenship.
