The Supreme Court rejects President Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, holding that the Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship to nearly everyone born on US soil.Chief Justice John Roberts writes for a 6-3 majority, citing United States v. Wong Kim Ark and saying the Citizenship Clause leaves only narrow exceptions such as children of foreign diplomats or occupying forces.Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissent, while Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Amy Coney Barrett and Ketanji Brown Jackson join the majority and Brett Kavanaugh partially concurs and dissents.The ruling removes a central element of
Donald Trump's second-term immigration agenda that would have affected roughly 250K births annually and had been blocked by lower courts before reaching the high court.
