The Supreme Court struck down President Trump's executive order attempting to redefine birthright citizenship and deny citizenship to children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrant parents. The 6-3 decision, written by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., rejected the order as contrary to over a century of constitutional precedent and the Fourteenth Amendment. The ruling preserves automatic citizenship rights for all children born on U.S. soil regardless of parental immigration status.

🗳️ Democracy
President Trump successfully pressured Colorado's Democratic governor into commuting the prison sentence of Tina Peters, a former elections clerk convicted of participating in election conspiracy schemes. Peters, who promoted Trump's false 2020 election fraud claims, was released after serving less than one quarter of her nine-year sentence. The commutation rewards a Trump loyalist convicted of undermining election integrity and demonstrates executive clemency being deployed to protect allies who advanced election disinformation.

The policy would eliminate due process protections for immigrants to demonstrate financial ties and community standing. Hundreds of thousands of detained immigrants would lose the right to seek release pending their immigration proceedings.
