The U.S. Supreme Court rejects President Donald Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship for people born on U.S. soil. Multiple outlets report that the court blocks the administration’s effort, which is described as relying on an executive order signed early in Trump’s second term and framed as part of a broader immigration crackdown. The decision is reported as a 6–3 ruling, with two Trump appointees joining the majority. The court’s reasoning, as characterized by outlets, emphasizes that the Constitution cannot be revised and that citizenship rules cannot be changed through an executive order. Several reports describe the administration’s approach as a “dramatically revisionist” effort to redefine who qualifies as a citizen. While outlets use different wording to describe the outcome, they consistently state that the Supreme Court upheld the existing constitutional basis for birthright citizenship and prevented the proposed restrictions from taking effect. The ruling therefore preserves the practice that most people born in the United States are citizens at birth, absent recognized constitutional exceptions.
