Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship
4 hours ago
The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump's effort to limit who automatically receives U.S. citizenship at birth.
The ruling leaves in place the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to nearly everyone born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents' immigration status.
The decision is one of the court's most closely watched rulings this term and represents a significant setback for the Trump administration's effort to change birthright citizenship through executive action.
The ruling preserves existing citizenship policies while leaving broader immigration debates to Congress and future legal challenges.
