Summary
The Supreme Court just delivered a landmark ruling upholding birthright citizenship for nearly everyone born on U.S. soil, striking down an executive order that sought to deny it to children of undocumented or temporary visa parents. In a 6-3 decision led by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Court reaffirmed the broad, enduring intent of the Fourteenth Amendment — a principle cemented since 1898’s Wong Kim Ark case — ensuring that citizenship isn’t contingent on parental status. The ACLU’s argument that children deserve a fresh start, not punishment for their parents’ circumstances, was central to the ruling. Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito dissented, but the majority made clear: if you’re born here, you’re American — period.
