The U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision allows for the potential denial of birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants, marking a constitutional shift not seen in over a century. By vacating prior lower court injunctions against President Trump's executive order, the ruling impacts those who may lack the ability to contest their citizenship status. Although the majority refrained from addressing the overall legality of the executive order, the consequences for many children are immediate and severe: a future of uncertainty regarding basic rights like obtaining passports and Social Security numbers.
In recent ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has begun the process of denying birthright citizenship, impacting thousands of children, significantly altering American citizenship.
The majority didn't decide the lawfulness of Trump's executive order, but its ruling creates a precarious situation for countless children born in the U.S.
