Supreme Court Defends Birthright Citizenship | Roanoke News

The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to President Trump’s controversial executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, ruling 6-3 that the policy violates the Constitution. The landmark decision reaffirms that anyone born on U.S. soil automatically becomes a citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment — a principle dating back to 1868 and repeatedly upheld by the Court. Trump’s administration claimed children born to undocumented parents weren’t “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S., but the justices rejected that argument. This ruling comes amid a broader trend of conservative-leaning decisions reshaping immigration policy, including recent rulings on asylum and temporary protected status. For now, the promise of citizenship for all American-born children remains intact — no matter their parents’ immigration status.
