The U.S. 
Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s order denying birthright citizenship to children born on U.S. soil, affirming that the Fourteenth Amendment means what it has always meant. 
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, which filed an amicus brief in Trump v Barbara, welcomed the ruling and issued the following: Dariely Rodriguez, chief counsel at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said:“Today’s ruling solidifies what we have known to be true for over a hundred years and what our Constitution and federal laws have supported: that anyone born on American soil, regardless of the legal status of their parents, is born an American citizen. 
We have endured an incredible test of our collective will as a nation and have prevailed. 
We are glad ideological gamesmanship failed, and the right result was reached here.” 
Olivia Sedwick, counsel at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said:“We are satisfied with today’s result, however, we know it should have never been a question from the start. 
This part of our democracy’s foundation remains intact. 
The domicile status of one’s parents has never been a part of the calculus to determine who is born an American citizen. 
We hope this ends the attack on the citizenship of our American-born brothers and sisters who are born to immigrant parents. 
That question has finally been asked, answered, and laid to rest, hopefully, forever.”
