Supreme Court enables Trump to limit US birthright citizenship
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of President Trump, allowing him to end birthright citizenship in some areas, a decision hailed as a "giant win" by the President. The 6:3 ruling, split along ideological lines, permits Trump's executive order to take effect in 28 states within 30 days, potentially reshaping citizenship granting. The court did not address the order's constitutionality, leaving that open for future challenges. The decision limits the power of single federal judges to block policies nationwide, a practice that has been used to challenge Trump's previous executive orders. The ruling stems from an order signed on January 20th, 2025.
