Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship on constitutional grounds

The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship in a 6-3 decision, rejecting President Trump's executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants or temporary visa holders. The ruling cited the Fourteenth Amendment and the 1898 Wong Kim Ark case, which established birthright citizenship for all children born in the U.S. except for those of foreign diplomats.
