Born Here, Citizen: Supreme Court Upholds Birthright | Washington DC News

The Supreme Court just reaffirmed that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen, striking down Trump’s controversial executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children of undocumented parents. Grounded in the Fourteenth Amendment and historic precedent like the 1898 Wong Kim Ark ruling, the decision upholds a foundational American principle: birthright citizenship doesn’t depend on your parents’ immigration status. Though the order never took effect due to prior court blocks, the ruling was a major political and legal moment — especially with a conservative majority on the court still siding with tradition. Three justices dissented, but the majority’s clear stance sends a powerful message: citizenship is about belonging, not paperwork — and being born on American soil still means you’re an American.
