Community, Congressional Leaders React to Supreme Court Decision Upholding Birthright Citizenship - Rafu Shimpo
Justices upheld the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause, affirming that birthright citizenship cannot be revoked by presidential executive order, a move President Trump sought to enact.
- On June 30, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Donald Trump cannot unilaterally end birthright citizenship through Executive Order. The decision affirms children born in the United States are citizens by birth.
- Seeking to redefine citizenship, Trump signed an Executive Order on his first day in office last year to exclude children born to undocumented or temporary residents from automatic citizenship.
- Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion that birthright citizenship is embedded in common law and codified in the 14th Amendment. The Court relied on the 1898 Wong Kim Ark decision.
- Three justices—Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch—dissented, arguing the Constitution does not automatically cover all US-born children. Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred but suggested Congress could enact new legislation.
- While supporters view the ruling as a victory for a multiracial democracy, critics warn the administration's anti-immigration campaign continues. The 6-3 vote reflects deep divisions on the nation's 250th anniversary.

Where is the outrage over our stolen birthright?

Nor are they universally binding on the coordinate branches tha…
