MAGA loyalists were furious on Tuesday after the Supreme Court reaffirmed birthright citizenship, signaling a major loss for President Donald Trump's agenda.
Trump lost in his attempt to deny automatic citizenship to those born to undocumented migrants, and justices ruled to maintain a 150-year-old court precedent.
"Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause."
Right-wing followers raged against the decision.
"BREAKING: US Supreme Court UPHOLDS BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS by striking down President Trump’s executive order. Congress must act! THIS IS A BLOW TO THE FUTURE OF OUR REPUBLIC. The Supreme Court’s decision will harm America for DECADES to come," Eric Daugherty, chief content officer of Right Line News, wrote on X.
"BREAKING: SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN PRESIDENT TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP. ADIOS AMERICA!" Far-right activist Laura Loomer wrote on X.
"I am a 14th generation Heritage American. My family showed up in 1635 and built this nation out of nothing but blood, sweat, and sacrifice. Still, I’ve been taught my entire life that I’m on 'stolen land' — that I’ve got no right to be here. However, the children of illegal alien gang members from Venezuela, or of Chinese communist birth tourists? This nation is their 'birth right.' Americans — you should be enraged," Matt Morse, MAGA YouTuber and political commentator, wrote on X.
"SCOTUS just ruled against the ban on birthright citizenship. A now permanent invitation for foreign nationals across the world to continue utilizing the U.S. for birth tourism, take advantage of our system, further dilute our culture and continue to destroy our sovereignty," Turning Point USA contributor Savanah Hernandez wrote on X.
