Birthright Citizenship Upheld by Supreme Court | New York City News
Description
The Supreme Court just struck down a Trump-era executive order that sought to end birthright citizenship, reaffirming that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically a citizen — a principle rooted in the Fourteenth Amendment since the late 1800s. New York and New Jersey officials hailed the ruling as a victory for the rule of law and immigrant families, especially after recent concerning decisions affecting Haitian and Syrian immigrants. While this win preserves a foundational right, it comes amid a broader wave of immigration restrictions under the Trump administration — including visa limits, reduced refugee admissions, and tougher asylum rules — fueling what experts call a sustained “war on immigrants.” This ruling stands as a rare exception in an otherwise aggressive policy agenda.
