🚨 BREAKING NEWS | U.S. Supreme Court Preserves Birthright Citizenship 🇺🇸

In a landmark decision issued today, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order that sought to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants and certain temporary visa holders.

The Court reaffirmed that the 14th Amendment guarantees U.S. citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, emphasized that the Constitution’s promise of citizenship extends to “every free-born person in this land.”

What this means:
✅ Children born in the United States continue to acquire U.S. citizenship at birth.
✅ The executive order cannot be enforced.
✅ The constitutional protections of the 14th Amendment remain unchanged.

This is one of the most significant immigration decisions of the year and preserves a constitutional principle that has existed for more than 150 years.

At the Law Offices of Cindy Ramjattan-Paul, P.C., we will continue monitoring the impact of this decision and provide updates on what it means for immigrant families.
