Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship | Chicago News

The Supreme Court just delivered a powerful rebuke to executive overreach by upholding birthright citizenship — a constitutional bedrock since the 1898 Wong Kim Ark ruling. Rejecting an administration effort to strip citizenship from children born to undocumented or visa-holding parents, the justices affirmed that the Fourteenth Amendment applies universally to anyone born on U.S. soil, regardless of parental status. The ruling, unanimous in its skepticism of presidential power to redefine citizenship, sends a clear message: fundamental rights rooted in the Constitution aren’t subject to executive whim — especially when they affect hundreds of thousands of American-born children each year.
