When the Supreme Court announced its decision regarding President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship, as guaranteed by the 14th Amendment, via executive order, the ruling in favor of the Constitution was a relief to countless individuals. The Chicago Tribune framed the story around the joy felt by Illinois immigrants and political leaders in the wake of the decision. Professor Jason Mazzone shared his thoughts on the decision as well, telling the Tribune, “With the nation’s 250th anniversary days away, the Court’s ruling is a powerful reminder of the nation’s commitment to the fundamental principle of birthright equality.”
