- The United States Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship and rejected an executive order limiting citizenship for children born to undocumented or temporary immigrants in the United States (U.S.).
- The court relied on the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to all persons born in the U.S. and subject to its jurisdiction.
- The ruling reaffirmed the 1898 precedent in Wong Kim Ark, which recognised citizenship for U.S.-born children of foreign nationals.
- The executive order, signed by President Donald Trump, was part of immigration restrictions and was blocked by lower courts.
- The order had sought to exclude children of non-citizens from automatic citizenship, affecting over 250,000 births annually.
