The US Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting President Trump's executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants. Indian-American advocacy groups and lawmakers hailed the ruling as a victory for immigrant families, affirming that nearly all children born on American soil are citizens. This decision protects families and reinforces the nation's foundational principles of inclusion and equal protection under the law.
