Democracy Now!
Summary
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to uphold birthright citizenship, rejecting President Trump's executive order that sought to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants and temporary foreign residents. The ruling reaffirms the 14th Amendment's guarantee that children born on U.S. soil are American citizens. The article features analysis from Columbia University historian Mae Ngai, who discusses the constitutional history and the white nationalist ideology behind Trump's challenge to birthright citizenship.
