American attorney and current FTC commissioner
The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that children born in the United States remain citizens under the 14th Amendment, rejecting President Trump’s executive order that sought to deny citizenship to babies born to parents on temporary or irregular legal status. Chief Justice John Roberts has invoked long-standing precedent, including United States v. Wong Kim Ark, and said the administration offered insufficient evidence to overturn that history.
The Supreme Court has ruled that presidents may fire heads of most independent agencies for cause, while preserving the Federal Reserve’s protections. The ruling expands executive power but still allows the Fed to remain insulated from political interference for now.
The Supreme Court has upheld a lower court’s ruling blocking Trump’s executive order that would deny birthright citizenship to children born in the United States to parents who are not citizens or lawful permanent residents. The decision, part of a broader slate of today’s rulings, appears on a conservative trajectory as the court weighs presidential power and immigration policy.
