AI Summary

The U.S. Supreme Court has dismissed former President Donald Trump's attempt to abolish birthright citizenship, a practice upheld for over a century. The court ruled against an executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents, which had faced consistent rejection in lower courts. Chief Justice John Roberts emphasized the importance of citizenship as a fundamental right, while dissenting justices expressed strong disagreement with the ruling. This decision has significant implications for millions of children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants, affirming their citizenship rights.

Key Details: • Supreme Court decision made on Tuesday, invalidating Trump's executive order. • Chief Justice John Roberts led the majority opinion, supported by five justices. • The ruling reinforces citizenship rights for children born in the U.S. regardless of parents' status.
