The US Supreme Court has ruled that babies born in the US have a constitutional right to citizenship, rejecting Donald Trump's bid to end the 150-year-old policy. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing BBC News.

In a 6-3 decision, Chief Justice John Roberts ruled that children born in the US "to parents unlawfully or temporarily present" are "citizens at birth" under the 14th Amendment. Trump had sought to limit the right through an executive order.

The ruling is seen by many as a major setback for President Trump's immigration agenda.
