BREAKING from CNN: Birthright citizenship upheld: The Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, striking down President Donald Trump’s executive order.

More from The Associated Press:

The Supreme Court on June 30 rejected President Donald Trump’s attempt to redefine who is an American, striking down the limits on birthright citizenship that were a centerpiece of his hardline approach to immigration.

The ruling landed as the nation is gearing up to celebrate its 250^th anniversary, adding to the significance of a case that was already a blockbuster.

And it came months after the court killed Trump’s signature tariffs, another repudiation of the expansive authority Trump has claimed since returning to the White House last year.

And MORE from The Guardian:

In a stunning rebuke to the Trump administration’s immigration agenda, the US supreme court ruled against the president’s attempt to gut the ability for anyone born on American soil to obtain citizenship.

The president issued an executive order on the first day of his second term in office that sought to undo birthright citizenship. It swiftly drew lawsuits, including from the Democratic state attorneys general and the American Civil Liberties Union, and the court heard oral arguments in the case – Trump v Barbara – back in April.

In a 6-3 opinion, the justices ruled that the Trump administration violated a provision of the 14th amendment, which was affirmed by the supreme court 128 years ago. While conservative justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred with the judgment, he dissented in parts.
