US Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, rejects Trump's bid
The U.S. Supreme Court has affirmed the right to citizenship for nearly all individuals born in the United States, rejecting a proposal by then-President Donald Trump to limit this right. The ruling, decided 6-3, has led to a directive from the U.S. Justice Department to prosecutors to prioritize investigations into 'birth tourism'. The decision has drawn strong reactions, with Trump reportedly vowing to pursue legislative means to overturn it.
