The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Donald J. Trump exceeded his authority by attempting to end birthright citizenship via executive order, upholding the 14th Amendment. The majority opinion, led by Chief Justice John G. Roberts, emphasized the constitutional right to citizenship, while dissenting justices argued the ruling expanded citizenship to include children of 'birth tourists.' Immigrant advocates highlighted the decision's importance for protecting children's rights and access to healthcare.

The Supreme Court is set to rule on a birthright citizenship case linked to President Donald Trump’s executive order ending the 14th Amendment’s longstanding practice. The court will also decide whether to allow termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian immigrants. Justices expressed skepticism about the government’s argument, and immigrant advocates warn ending birthright citizenship would harm children and undermine a foundational constitutional principle.
