Supreme Court Defends Birthright Citizenship | Reno News

The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to a Trump-era executive order that sought to end birthright citizenship — the longstanding legal principle that anyone born on U.S. soil automatically becomes a citizen, regardless of their parents’ status. In a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled the order violated the Fourteenth Amendment, reaffirming that citizenship is a fundamental right rooted in the Constitution. While three conservative justices dissented — one warning the ruling could devalue citizenship, another questioning whether the issue was truly constitutional — the majority made clear: birthright citizenship remains intact. The decision, which followed years of legal battles and a federal judge’s earlier injunction, underscores that even as America evolves, the Constitution’s promise of citizenship for those born here stands firm.
