The U.S. Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship under the Constitution, rejecting President Donald Trump’s effort to restrict it through an executive order. Multiple outlets report that the Court rules that the 14th Amendment guarantees automatic U.S. citizenship for nearly all children born on U.S. soil. The justices reject the administration’s argument that the executive order reflects a proper constitutional interpretation, instead finding it conflicts with the Constitution’s text and cannot override it. Several accounts describe the dispute as a central element of Trump’s immigration agenda, and characterize the ruling as a major defeat for the administration. Outlets also report that the decision is issued by a divided Court, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing for the majority. The ruling preserves the longstanding rule that people born in the United States are citizens, including in circumstances the executive order targeted, such as when parents are undocumented or in the country temporarily. The decision effectively blocks implementation of the planned restrictions and maintains broad access to citizenship for children born in the country.
