Texas advocates applaud ruling striking down Trump’s birthright citizenship order
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 ruling striking down President Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship. The decision reaffirms that anyone born in the United States is a U.S. citizen, a result that immigrant advocates across Texas described as a major relief. Supporters of the ruling noted that more than 250,000 children born each year would have been affected had the order stood.
