Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship

In a closely watched case, the Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, affirming the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment.

The 5-4 ruling saw Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett join the three liberal justices to form the majority.

President Trump vowed to continue fighting through legislation, but the decision makes clear that any change would require a constitutional amendment.

The decision sparked immediate reactions across the political spectrum, with conservatives criticizing Barrett’s vote and liberals warning about the narrow margin.
