The U.S. Supreme Court strikes down Executive Order 14160 in a 6–3 ruling, rejecting President Trump’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants and temporary foreign residents. The Court rules that the policy violates the 14th Amendment and reaffirms the 1898 precedent in United States v. Wong Kim Ark. The decision protects hundreds of thousands of newborns each year from losing citizenship rights and confirms that presidents cannot rewrite core constitutional protections through executive orders.
