Supreme Court says a birthright-citizenship order violates the 14th Amendment

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled 6-3 in Trump v. Barbara that president Donald Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship violates the 14th Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that citizenship was the right to have rights. The case was the court's decision on the order, not a new statute from Congress.

The vote was six justices to three. The amendment cited was the 14th. The order at issue was the one restricting birthright citizenship. Those are the holdings as reported on June 30.

The same day's legal list included a 10-year corruption sentence for former Indonesian education minister Nadiem Makarim, a co-founder of Gojek. In Nairobi, witnesses said police killed one person and injured two when they opened fire during a protest in Mathare over reported abductions. A coalition of lawyers sued Ghana at the ECOWAS court, accusing it of violating non-refoulement by accepting United States deportees and sending them back to countries they had fled.

South Korea's National Assembly approved Han Seong-sook as prime minister, succeeding Kim Min-seok. She becomes the country's first female prime minister in 20 years. The People Power Party boycotted the vote.

In the Philippines more than 14,000 people joined Iglesia ni Cristo rallies in Metro Manila, largely to support senator Rodante Marcoleta, an INC member under a plunder investigation. Five people were arrested at the People Power Monument in Quezon City and three police officers were injured. The rally and the court ruling in Washington were unrelated except by the calendar.

The birthright decision is the constitutional result. The 6-3 vote, the case name, the amendment, and Roberts's formulation are what the report contained. Other sentences and protests that day did not change that holding.
