The U.S. Supreme Court rejects President Donald Trump’s effort to restrict birthright citizenship, ruling that the policy would be unconstitutional. Multiple outlets report the court maintains the existing rule that children born on U.S. soil are entitled to citizenship, with the exception the Trump administration sought would require that at least one parent be a citizen or a legal resident. The decision is described as a significant setback for Trump’s anti-immigration agenda, which several reports say also includes broader plans to curb illegal immigration and restrict immigration through other measures. Sources agree the court votes against the administration’s position by a 6–3 margin. The ruling comes as the Supreme Court delivers decisions on the last day of its term, and is presented by some outlets as an awaited resolution that preserves the long-standing interpretation of citizenship rights. Other coverage also notes that, in separate actions during the same period, the court addresses additional issues beyond birthright citizenship, including campaign spending and limits related to transgender student athletes, though these are not tied directly to the citizenship ruling.
