Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a landmark 6-3 ruling upholding birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump's attempt to end automatic citizenship for children born to parents in the country illegally or temporarily.

The majority opinion affirmed the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issuing a blistering concurrence rebuking Justice Clarence Thomas's dissent.

The ruling represents the most significant judicial rebuke to Trump's immigration agenda this term.

House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed disappointment, while the Justice Department immediately directed prosecutors to prioritize 'birth tourism' investigations.
