Breaking: US Supreme Court Backs Birthright Citizenship! –

Donald Trump has suffered a major setback after the United States Supreme Court struck down his executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship. The verdict reaffirmed that children born on American soil remain citizens under the Constitution.
