The Supreme Court has issued a ruling declaring President Trump’s executive order to limit birthright citizenship unconstitutional. This decision halts an attempt by the administration to challenge a long-standing policy that has been in place for more than a hundred years.

By striking down this executive action, the court has effectively blocked a key effort by the President to address the incentives created by current citizenship laws.

The ruling represents a significant legal hurdle for the administration's broader agenda on immigration enforcement and national sovereignty, forcing a return to the status quo regarding how citizenship is granted to those born on American soil.
