In a major victory for immigration advocates, the US Supreme Court has dealt a significant blow to former President Donald Trump's efforts to restrict birthright citizenship. The high court's decision blocks Trump's attempt to deny US citizenship at birth to children born in the United States to non-citizen parents who entered the country illegally or overstayed their visas. This move is seen as a major defeat for Trump's hardline immigration policies, which aimed to curb what he saw as "chain migration" and reduce the number of undocumented immigrants in the country. The ruling is expected to have far-reaching implications for the thousands of children who could have been impacted by Trump's proposal.
The US Supreme Court has rejected Trump’s bid to stop the children of some immigrants obtaining US citizenship at birth.
