Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship | Denver News

The Supreme Court just struck down President Trump’s executive order that would have stripped birthright citizenship from children born in the U.S. to undocumented parents or visitors, reaffirming the long-standing constitutional principle that anyone born on American soil is a citizen — except foreign diplomats. Chief Justice Roberts emphasized the foundational promise of citizenship for all, even as some justices dissented. The ruling shuts down a major immigration policy push, reminding the public that executive orders can be overturned when they conflict with established law. Over 250,000 babies annually could have been affected — including children of visa holders and green card applicants — but the Court’s decision upholds a century-old constitutional precedent.
