The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump's executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship violated the Constitution's 14th Amendment.
Lower courts had blocked the order, which targeted children born to parents in the country unlawfully or temporarily. The decision marks a major legal defeat for the administration on immigration policy.
The ruling came as the court closed a term filled with high-profile cases involving executive power, campaign finance and regulatory independence.
