US birthright citizenship: Supreme court rules against Trump's ban

The US Supreme Court has struck down President Donald Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, reaffirming the 14th Amendment's guarantee for those born on US soil.

Trump, who signed the order on his first day back in office and unusually attended oral arguments, vowed to seek changes through Congress.

Republicans signalled legislative or even constitutional routes, though House Speaker Mike Johnson noted the high ratification thresholds. Democrats pledged to resist, as immigrant rights groups welcomed the ruling.
