Baghdad: The US Supreme Court has struck down former President Donald Trump’s proposed restrictions on birthright citizenship, marking a significant decision that dismantles a key component of his immigration policy.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, the court ruled against the executive order that Trump issued shortly after his inauguration last year. The order sought to limit birthright citizenship, but the Supreme Court found it in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment has historically been interpreted to ensure citizenship for almost all individuals born on US soil, and the court’s decision reaffirms this understanding.
