AI Fusion Summary

The Supreme Court upheld a broad conception of birthright citizenship on Tuesday, rejecting an executive order from President Donald Trump. The order claimed children born to people in the United States illegally or temporarily are not citizens. Justices relied on the 14th Amendment and federal laws to rule that anyone born in the country is a citizen, with limited exceptions. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that these children are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
