Supreme Court Blocks Trump's Executive Order to End Birthright Citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 against President Donald Trump's attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship through an executive order. The order, signed shortly after Trump was inaugurated in early 2025, sought to restrict citizenship rights guaranteed under the 14th Amendment. Ratified in 1868, the amendment grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction, a protection originally established for children of formerly enslaved people. The court's decision preserves a constitutional right that has been in place since the Reconstruction era.
