Brief text

The Court rejected Trump's Day 1 order limiting birthright citizenship, keeping the 14th Amendment rule in force for children born in the U.S.

  1. Frame 1The Supreme Court rejected Trump's Day 1 order limiting birthright citizenship, keeping the 14th Amendment rule in force.
  2. Frame 2The order targeted babies born in the U.S. to parents without permanent legal status or on temporary visas.
  3. Frame 3A 6-3 ruling said citizenship still covers nearly everyone born on U.S. soil, with only narrow exceptions.
  4. Frame 4Lower courts had blocked the order before it took effect; Tuesday's decision keeps that nationwide protection intact.
  5. Frame 5The blocked order could have affected roughly 255,000 children born each year to noncitizen parents.
  6. Frame 6Attention now shifts to executive-power limits, future immigration orders, and how agencies apply the ruling.
