Supreme Court & Citizenship: The U.S. Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship in a 6-3 ruling, rejecting President Trump’s executive order and drawing fresh calls in Congress to “rein in” birthright citizenship and crack down on alleged birth tourism. CNMI Reaction: CNMI leaders, including Delegate Kimberlyn King-Hinds, welcomed the ruling as reaffirming constitutional citizenship and the CNMI Covenant’s promise. Congressional Pushback: Republican lawmakers say the decision will fuel more birth tourism and vow new legislation and possible constitutional amendments, while the Justice Department says it will prioritize prosecutions of birth tourism schemes.
