Supreme Court Defends Birthright Citizenship | Global News

The Supreme Court just upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump’s controversial executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented or visa-holding parents. Grounded in the Fourteenth Amendment and reinforced by the 1898 Wong Kim Ark precedent, the ruling reaffirms that nearly all babies born on American soil are citizens — a principle that could affect over 250,000 children annually. While Chief Justice Roberts’ majority opinion emphasized honoring the nation’s promise, three conservative justices dissented, arguing the amendment wasn’t meant to include such “political projects.” The decision shuts down a major immigration policy attempt and reaffirms a foundational legal doctrine.
