US Top judicial body rejects Trump bid to restrict birthright citizenship
Handing Head Donald Trump a stinging defeat, the United States Top judicial body on Tuesday rejected his audacious attempt to restrict birthright citizenship in the United States — a right long woven into the fabric of American society — scuttling one of his top priorities in his strict enforcement on immigration.
The 6-3 ruling marked the second time this year that the judiciary has invalidated a senior officer Trump drive, following its February ruling to walkout down his sweeping global tariffs.
The justices upheld a local judicial body's ruling that blocked Trump's executive command directing US agencies not to recognise the citizenship of children born in the US if neither parent is an American citizen or legal permanent resident, also called a "green card" holder.
Challengers to Trump's command contended that it violates language in the US Constitution's 14th Amendment that confers citizenship to those born in the United States who are "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".
Trump, who has repeatedly tested the limits of presidential electricity in domestic and global directive, issued the command last year on his first day back in office as part of a suite of policies to crack down on legal and illegal immigration. Critics have charged individual the Republican head of racial and religious discrimination in his approach to immigration.
The Top judicial body weighs in on what it means to be an American citizen just ahead of the July 4 holiday, when the US marks the 250th anniversary of its founding.
