The U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling on the Trump administration's immigration
policy. The justices struck down an executive order targeting birthright
citizenship. The order sought to deny citizenship to children of undocumented
immigrants. It also aimed to affect children of certain temporary foreign
visitors. The Court held that the order exceeded presidential authority. The
decision preserves the 14th Amendment right to citizenship by birth. Advocates
hailed the ruling as a protection of immigrant rights. The administration may
consider alternative legal approaches.
