Supreme Court rejects Donald Trump's bid to restrict birthright citizenship: The
US Supreme Court has rejected Donald Trump's bid to overturn birthright
citizenship.

is a major blow to the US president's hardline agenda on immigration and comes
after the same court earlier this year limited his ability to impose sweeping
tariffs. What's next? Mr Trump has urged Congress to implement legislation to

Donald Trump's controversial attempt to restrict birthright citizenship in the US has been rejected by the Supreme Court, up-ending the president's hardline agenda on immigration. The 6-3 ruling marked the second time this year that the court has invalidated one of Mr Trump's major initiatives, following its February decision to strike down his sweeping global tariffs.
