SC upholds birthright citizenship, it is too bad for US: Trump

A divided US Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a broad conception of birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump’s executive order declaring that children born to people who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens. By a 6-3 vote, the court struck down Trump’s order. A bare majority of five justices, in an opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, held that the long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, makes a citizen of anyone born in the country, with very limited exceptions.

A bare majority of five justices, in an opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, held that the long-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment, adopted after the Civil War, makes a citizen of anyone born in the country, with very limited exceptions. 
Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, Justice Jackson, Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Barrett and Justice Kavanaugh voted to keep birthright citizenship whereas three judges-Justice Thomas, Justice Alito and Justice Gorsuch sided with Trump to overturn it.
The birthright citizenship order, which Trump signed on the first day of his second term, is part of his administration’s broad immigration crackdown. Birthright citizenship was the first Trump immigration-related policy to reach the court for a final ruling. The justices previously struck down global tariffs Trump had imposed under an emergency powers law that had never been used that way.
President Donald Trump has reacted to the Supreme Court upholding the principle of birthright citizenship and said that it is "too bad" for America. However, he is ready to bring in legislation and "easily" make it up in Congress, he wrote on social media on Tuesday. In a post on X, Trump wrote that the Congress should start working "today" to end the "expensive and unfair" birthright citizenship.
