Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship | Montpelier News

The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to President Trump’s immigration agenda by upholding birthright citizenship — a cornerstone of American law rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment. Trump’s executive order, which sought to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants or visitors, was decisively rejected, with justices emphasizing that the Constitution’s citizenship clause applies broadly to all born on U.S. soil, except foreign diplomats. Though the order was blocked by lower courts and never implemented, this ruling marks the first major immigration policy from Trump’s administration to receive a final Supreme Court verdict. The decision reaffirms that hundreds of thousands of babies born annually in the U.S. — including those to students or green-card applicants — remain automatic citizens, reinforcing the enduring power of constitutional precedent over executive overreach.
