"Victory Remains": Wong Kim Ark’s Family on Birthright Citizenship Ruling

- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to uphold birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children of parents present in the U.S. illegally or temporarily.

- Dissenting Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a 91-page opinion arguing the Fourteenth Amendment was repurposed for political projects, and officials warned future efforts to narrow birthright citizenship protections could still be pursued.
