By
Mark Sherman, Associated Press
Summary
The U.S. Supreme Court narrowly upheld birthright citizenship as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, rejecting President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. The ruling relied on long-settled constitutional interpretation and federal law, affirming that anyone born in the U.S. (with very limited exceptions) is a citizen.
