Supreme Court Defends Birthright Citizenship | Santa Fe News

The Supreme Court just delivered a major win for birthright citizenship, rejecting a Trump-era executive order that sought to strip citizenship from children of undocumented parents — a move that would have undermined a 150-year-old constitutional guarantee. With a 6-3 vote, the decision reaffirmed the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, but the split shows deepening divisions on the bench. While the ruling is a victory for constitutional law, it also underscores how fiercely this issue continues to divide the nation — and how history, from post-Civil War reconstruction to WWII internment, reminds us that the promise of equal protection remains fragile and constantly under siege.
