U.S. Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, rejecting Trump order
technology / draft
The U.S. Supreme Court made two significant decisions and agreed to hear another case. First, it upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting an order by former President Trump that stated children of undocumented immigrants were not citizens. This decision reaffirms the 14th Amendment's promise. Second, the court will examine challenges to bans on 'assault weapons,' potentially expanding gun rights. Finally, it will hear Apple's appeal in a battle with Epic Games over App Store fees, which could affect how apps are sold. These cases highlight the Court's influence on fundamental rights and tech regulations.
