US Supreme Court blocks Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship, dealing a major blow to one of his key anti-immigration policies. In a 6-3 ruling on the final day of its term, the court upheld the right to American citizenship for nearly all children born on US soil. Birthright citizenship, guaranteed under the 14th Amendment, means anyone born in the United States automatically becomes a US citizen, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. The decision marks a significant legal defeat for the Trump administration.
