The US Supreme Court has overturned the Trump administration’s directive to limit birthright citizenship, thereby maintaining the existing legal framework. Vice President JD Vance described the court’s ruling as ‘deeply disappointing’ and stated that the Trump administration continues to pursue all available legal channels. This ruling annuls President Donald Trump’s executive order that sought to deny automatic citizenship to children born to undocumented or temporary residents. 17 Ashadh, Kathmandu.
In an appearance on Fox News, Vice President JD Vance reacted sharply to the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold birthright citizenship, calling it ‘extremely disappointing.’ He made it clear that the Trump administration is actively working on all legal avenues in this matter. Vance emphasized that the White House will continue pushing forward efforts to reform US immigration policies.
The Supreme Court’s decision represents a significant legal setback to President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda and policies. The court struck down Trump’s order aimed at restricting birthright citizenship. On the first day of his second term, President Trump had issued a pivotal executive order addressing this issue.
The executive order declared that children born in the United States to parents residing illegally or temporarily would not automatically acquire birthright citizenship. Initially, lower courts blocked this order. Subsequently, the Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court to eliminate the provision granting automatic citizenship to children of undocumented or temporary visa holders. However, the highest court upheld the longstanding principle of birthright citizenship in its ruling.
