Donald Trump's attempt to deny birthright citizenship for children of migrants struck down by Supreme Court
The US Supreme Court has rejected President Donald Trump's attempt to restrict birthright citizenship in the United States in a crushing defeat for the White House.
Judges ruled 6-3 against the Republican President in yet another blow to Mr Trump's controversial immigration reforms.
Challengers to President Trump's order argued that it violates language in the US Constitution's 14th Amendment that confers citizenship to those born in the United States who are "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
President Trump issued the order last year on his first day back in office as part of a suite of policies to crack down on legal and illegal immigration.
However, critics have accused the Republican president of racial and religious discrimination in his approach to immigration.
