The U.S. Supreme Court vote to protect birthright citizenship in a landmark ruling was welcomed by elected officials on both sides of the aisle in Florida — although Democrats were much more vocal, with messages of cautious joy.

The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship in a 6-3 decision, striking down President Donald Trump's executive order.

The decision firmly rejected the executive order that Trump issued on the first day of his second term.

The Supreme Court will rule on the constitutionality of President Donald Trump's order on birthright citizenship declaring that children born to parents who are in the United States illegally or temporarily are not American citizens.

Florida has one of the largest foreign-born populations in the U.S. For some, the fate of citizenship for their new children hangs in the balance of the Supreme Court’s decision on President Trump’s effort to change more than a century-long practice.

Days before the April 1 oral arguments on a birthright citizenship case, Trump railed against birthright citizenship with talking points that the longstanding practice of granting automatic citizenship to U.S.-born babies is abused by wealthy foreigners, was meant for the children of enslaved people, and that the U.S. is an outlier. Time for a fact-check.

COMMENTARY President Trump's Supreme Court intimidation bid on birthright citizenship risks reminding the justices — and the world — of the Dominican Republic's thuggish repeal of jus soli 13 years ago.

A federal judge in New Hampshire has issued a ruling pausing President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship from taking effect anywhere in the United States. The judge issued a preliminary injunction Thursday blocking Trump's order and certified a class action lawsuit including all children who will be affected. He says the order will include a seven-day stay to allow for appeal.

Around three dozen other countries offer automatic citizenship to children born within their borders, regardless of their parents’ immigration status.

Legal experts say it’s possible, but they add that the quest to overturn birthright citizenship would face high hurdles, even for a Supreme Court that has sided with Trump on other issues.

COMMENTARY Trump's lying and/or ignorant quest to kill birthright citizenship trashes not only the New World ideal — but also his movement's supposed exaltation of the little guy standing up to elites.

Saying "birth tourism poses risks to national security," the State Department tells consular officials to deny a visa if they believe a potential visitor has the "primary purpose" of giving birth.
