US Supreme Court rejects Trump’s bid to end birthright citizenship
The United States Supreme Court has rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict birthright citizenship in the US, scuttling one of his top priorities to restrict immigration.
The justices in a 6-3 ruling authored by conservative Chief Justice John Roberts decided that Trump’s directive violated language in the Constitution’s 14th Amendment that confers citizenship to those born in the United States who are “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.
Advocates from immigrant rights organisations and lawmakers celebrated the decision while Trump wrote on social media that the ruling was “too bad for our country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through legislation”.
