The Supreme Court of the United States ruled against President Donald Trump’s efforts to curb birthright citizenship on Tuesday. The court struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ending the practice, reaffirming the long-standing legal interpretation that nearly everyone born on U.S. soil is automatically an American citizen.
Conservative-leaning Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett joined liberals in the decision.
In a split ruling in Trump v. Barbara, the high court held that Trump’s policy violates the law.
The decision marks the second major setback for one of Trump’s signature second-term initiatives. It follows the Supreme Court’s February ruling that blocked much of his tariff agenda. Trump signed the birthright citizenship order on his first day back in office as part of his broader immigration enforcement push.
