A divided US Supreme Court upheld the constitutional right of birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump’s planned restrictions and invalidating a central plank of his immigration agenda.

The court said an executive order Trump issued hours after his inauguration last year couldn’t be squared with the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which has long been understood as guaranteeing citizenship to virtually everyone born on US soil.

The case tested what it means to be an American. Trump’s order sought to restrict birthright citizenship to babies with at least one parent who is a US citizen or green-card holder, affecting an estimated 250,000 children born to undocumented immigrants and temporary visitors each year.
