US Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship in 6-3 Decision

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling that the Constitution’s 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born on American soil to parents who are undocumented or temporarily present. The decision rejects President Donald Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship through an executive order. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the long‑standing interpretation of the amendment—granting citizenship to anyone “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States—remains valid.

Following the ruling, television host Megyn Kelly criticized the justices on social media, arguing the decision was driven by concerns over being labeled racist and denouncing the Court’s refusal to support Trump’s immigration agenda.
