The US Supreme Court has ruled President Donald Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. The BBC's Chief North America Correspondent Gary O'Donoghue explains the attempt to overturn a policy which has been in place for more than a century - and why the court's decision is such a blow to Trump.
Main Idea: The Supreme Court dealt President Donald Trump a major setback by ruling his executive order limiting birthright citizenship unconstitutional.
Key Points:
The ruling keeps birthright citizenship in place, so families who hoped for a tighter rule may face more legal and political uncertainty.
The decision protects citizenship rights for children born in the US and gives many households more legal certainty.
