NBC
News - Delivering a major blow to President
Donald Trump, the Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked his contentious attempt to
limit citizenship at birth for those born on U.S. soil. The court, divided 6-3,
ruled that the executive order Trump issued Jan. 20, 2025, the first day of his
second term, was unlawful. Five justices said the order fell foul of the
Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been interpreted to bestow birthright
citizenship on almost anyone born in the United States. One justice,
conservative Brett Kavanaugh, said the order violated federal law but not the
Constitution.
It is the third
significant Supreme Court loss for Trump in recent months, following the
February ruling that invalidated his sweeping tariffs and Monday’s decision
that barred him from immediately firing Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve.
