Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship | Venice Beach News

The Supreme Court just delivered a landmark ruling affirming birthright citizenship — kids born in the U.S. are citizens regardless of their parents’ immigration status. In a 6-3 decision, the Court struck down a controversial executive order that tried to limit citizenship based on parental status, declaring the Fourteenth Amendment’s clear intent to grant citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its laws. Chief Justice Roberts led the majority, joined by Justices Jackson and Sotomayor, with Amy Coney Barrett casting the decisive vote. Dissenters Justice Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch argued the original meaning of “subject to jurisdiction” may have been narrower, with Alito even calling for overturning a 1898 precedent. Though the order never took effect due to lower court injunctions, this ruling settles the issue definitively — closing the door on executive attempts to redefine this foundational right and reigniting debates over immigration, sovereignty, and birth tourism.
