The divided US Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship decision exposes sharp rifts among justices

WASHINGTON, July 1, 2026 (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court’s divided ruling that children born in the U.S. are citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment — even if their parents are in the country unlawfully or only temporarily — exposed deep fissures in the justices’ views on the issue and toward each other.

Those brightly colored engagement tactics long ago jumped from smartphone games to everything from online shopping to sports betting and classrooms.
