US Supreme Court Restores Birthright Citizenship Blocks Trump Order

The Supreme Court of the United States has restored the constitutional principle of birthright citizenship, ruling against a previous executive order issued by former President Donald Trump that sought to end the practice.

According to the court’s decision, judges voted by a 6–3 majority to strike down the order, reaffirming that children born in the United States are entitled to citizenship regardless of their parents’ immigration status. The ruling reinforces the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

The decision follows a legal challenge to the policy, which had attempted to restrict citizenship rights for children of non-citizen parents. The court’s judgment ensures that birthright citizenship remains in effect, maintaining a key feature of US immigration and nationality law.
