US Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump Order Ending Birthright Citizenship
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against President Trump's executive order that sought to end birthright citizenship for children of non-citizen parents.
In a landmark 6-3 decision, the US Supreme Court has rejected President Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. The order would have limited citizenship to children born in the US only if at least one parent was a US citizen or permanent legal resident.
The court's ruling upholds the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to nearly all children born on US soil. The decision is seen as a major setback for the administration's immigration policy agenda.
Legal experts note that the case reaffirms judicial checks on executive power over constitutional rights. No immediate market reaction is expected, but the ruling removes a key source of policy uncertainty for immigrant communities and businesses reliant on foreign labor.
