Supreme Court strikes down Trump executive order on birthright citizenship.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship is unlawful. Five justices found the order violates the 14th Amendment; Justice Kavanaugh concurred on statutory grounds. The order, which never took effect due to lower court blocks, would have denied automatic citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visitors.
