The Supreme Court has rejected Donald Trump's executive order that aimed to restrict birthright citizenship, upholding the principle that individuals born in the United States are citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, stated that children born to parents unlawfully or temporarily present in the U.S. are still subject to its jurisdiction and thus citizens. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, arguing that the Citizenship Clause and the Civil Rights Act guarantee citizenship to those born and domiciled in the U.S., regardless of their parents' legal status.
