CNN: Trump’s audacious bid to end birthright citizenship was not an entire loss at the Supreme Court
The 6-3 ruling said Congress would need a constitutional amendment to change birthright citizenship, even as Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh left a narrow opening.
- On June 30, the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship in a 6-3 decision, with Chief Justice John Roberts affirming the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to all born in the United States.
- Ratified in 1868, the 14th Amendment establishes citizenship for all persons born or naturalized in the United States. The majority affirmed this constitutional rule, closing the door on administrative attempts to bypass the framework.
- Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred with the majority only in part, disagreeing that Trump's order violated the 14th Amendment. Legal expert Epps noted his separate opinion was "the only voice of the nine that raises that possibility" of legislative intervention.
- Shortly after the ruling, Trump urged Congress to pass legislation to end birthright citizenship, dismissing the need for a "long and unwieldy" constitutional amendment. Analysts warn any such attempt would likely be struck down by courts.
- The Center for Immigration Studies estimates birth tourism accounts for over 20,000 births annually in the United States. Critics like Lee argue the ruling upholds "cheap and cheated citizenship," though the Court maintained the established constitutional standard.
