Washington — The Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, reaffirming the more than 100-year-old understanding that nearly all of those born in the United States are citizens.
In a divided decision in the case Trump v. Barbara, the Supreme Court found that Mr. Trump’s policy is unlawful.
With its decision, the Supreme Court has now invalidated a second of Mr. Trump’s signature initiatives from his second term, joining its ruling striking down many of his tariffs in February. The president signed his directive aiming to restrict birthright citizenship on his first day back in the White House as part of a sweeping crackdown on immigration.
