Supreme Court Maintains Birthright Citizenship, Dashing Trump's Plan
TL;DR
The Supreme Court rejected President Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship in a 6-3 decision, upholding the 14th Amendment’s guarantee that most people born in the United States are citizens; Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion grounding citizenship in history, while dissents argued the measure could be addressed by Congress, with Justice Kavanaugh joining dissenters on the 14th Amendment issue and suggesting a legislative fix remains possible.
