Jackson rebukes Thomas over his birthright citizenship dissent
The 6-3 ruling says children born on U.S. soil remain citizens, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called the administration’s theory ahistorical.
- On Tuesday, the Supreme Court rejected President Donald Trump's effort to limit birthright citizenship in a 6-3 ruling, upholding the 14th Amendment's guarantee for children born to parents unlawfully or temporarily in the U.S.
- Trump's executive order last year instructed federal agencies to deny citizenship to babies born to non-citizens, prompting lawsuits from expectant parents, immigrant rights groups, and 22 state attorneys general challenging the policy.
- Justice Clarence Thomas argued in his dissent that the 14th Amendment was designed for freed slaves, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson countered it established a "universalist" vision extending to all born on American soil.
- Jackson accused Thomas of echoing the "detestable" 1857 Dred Scott decision, asserting the administration and Thomas were "wrong" to argue the amendment was repurposed for political projects unintended by Congress.
- Reacting to the decision, Trump called it "bad for our Country," while more than 30 countries including Canada, Mexico, and Brazil maintain automatic birthright citizenship policies.
