Supreme Court Defends Birthright Citizenship | Phoenix News

The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to President Trump’s controversial executive order, declaring it unconstitutional. That order, signed on his first day back in office, sought to strip citizenship from children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents — directly challenging over 125 years of constitutional precedent rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment. Trump himself made history by appearing at the Court during arguments, as justices from both sides questioned the legality of his own policy. The ruling reaffirms the bedrock principle that anyone born on American soil is a citizen — with only rare exceptions like children of foreign diplomats. Though the order never took effect due to prior court blocks, it was the first of Trump’s immigration policies to reach the Supreme Court. The decision stands as a powerful affirmation of birthright citizenship and the Constitution’s enduring role in protecting fundamental rights, even against executive attempts to rewrite them.
