Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship | Providence News

The Supreme Court just struck down Trump’s controversial executive order trying to end birthright citizenship, ruling 6-3 that it violates the Constitution. This long-standing legal principle, rooted in the 14th Amendment since 1868, guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil — with rare exceptions. Trump’s team argued undocumented parents didn’t truly fall under U.S. jurisdiction, calling it a tool to curb illegal immigration and “birth tourism,” but the Court sided with states and lower courts that had already deemed the order unconstitutional. This decision arrives amid other major immigration rulings, including one allowing changes to the asylum system.
