President calls ruling \u2018too bad for our Country\u2019 but says Congress should \u2018start today\u2019 to end matter \u2013 key US politics stories from Tuesday, 30 June at a glance
The US supreme court has upheld birthright citizenship, which provides nearly all people born in the country with citizenship, ruling against a central piece of Donald Trump\u2019s anti-immigrant agenda<\/a>.
Trump called the ruling \u201ctoo bad for our Country\u201d, but said the US Congress should now take up the matter legislatively, suggesting another avenue to keep the issue alive.
\u201cNo long and unwieldy Constitutional Amendment is necessary! Congress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship,\u201d Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. \u201cThey will have my Complete and Total Support!\u201d
The president had issued an executive order on the first day of his second term that sought to undo birthright citizenship. The order would override the US constitution, which it cannot do, though his administration has argued the order instead interprets the constitution correctly.
\u201cChildren born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are \u2018subject to the jurisdiction\u2019 of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment\u2019s Citizenship Clause,\u201d the ruling says.
Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the opinion. He was joined by the liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the conservative justice Amy Coney Barrett. The conservative justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred with the judgment but dissented in part. The conservative justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch filed dissenting opinions. The court\u2019s writings in the ruling span 194 pages, nearly 90 of which were written by Thomas in dissent,<\/strong> his longest in his tenure on the court.
Dismantling birthright citizenship is a key facet of Trump\u2019s agenda. He filed an executive order to end it on his first day back in office for his second term. He attended the oral arguments in person when the court heard the case, the first time a sitting president had attended oral arguments.

\u201cTrauma is brutal. Chronic trauma destroys,\u201d said the relative, who described the woman\u2019s life as layers of abuse dating back to early childhood. \u201cShe\u2019s coping as best she can.\u201d
