## Resource

The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to President Trump’s controversial birthright citizenship plan, upholding the long-standing rule that anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen — no matter their parents’ immigration status. The decision, rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment and landmark precedent like the 1898 Wong Kim Ark case, reaffirms a core pillar of American identity. Though the administration argued kids born to non-citizens weren’t “subject to the jurisdiction,” the court rejected that interpretation, calling it a betrayal of post-Civil War ideals. The ruling, split along ideological lines, also highlights how lower courts had already blocked the executive order before it could take effect — and how Trump himself publicly criticized the judges who did. In the end, the court’s decision sends a clear message: birthright citizenship remains firmly in place, protecting hundreds of thousands of children born each year.
