Trump breaks silence after Supreme Court rules against his birthright citizenship order



Less than an hour after the Supreme Court dealt the Trump administration a devastating blow by rejecting its attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship, President Donald Trump began plotting a legislative workaround.

On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process.”

He urged Congress to "start TODAY" on ending birthright citizenship, pledging his "Complete and Total Support."

Birthright citizenship, enshrined in the 14th Amendment, grants full U.S. citizenship to all people born in the United States or its territories regardless of parental citizenship status.

Trump, supported by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, has long targeted birthright citizenship as part of his immigration crackdown agenda, according to Bulwark Media.

Trump has repeatedly and falsely claimed the U.S. is the only country with such rights, despite dozens of nations, including Canada and Mexico, having identical protections, according to The Washington Post.
