Supreme Court Defends Birthright Citizenship | Des Moines News

The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to former President Trump’s bid to rewrite birthright citizenship — a cornerstone of American identity that says anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen, no matter their parents’ immigration status. In a decisive ruling, the Court rejected Trump’s executive order, reaffirming the Fourteenth Amendment’s promise of citizenship as a fundamental right and part of the political community. While Chief Justice Roberts led the majority, three conservative justices dissented — one calling the decision a betrayal of citizenship’s value, another citing a separate 1952 immigration law. Trump’s administration had tried to implement this change on day one of his return to office, sparking swift legal challenges that culminated in this landmark decision — a firm reminder that birthright citizenship is not up for grabs.
