Supreme Court rejects Trump plan to end birthright citizenship
The World TonightAvailable for over a year
The US Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump’s attempt to remove the automatic right to citizenship for everyone born on US soil is unconstitutional. The court, despite having a conservative majority shaped by Trump, overturned the president’s executive order by five votes to four. Also on tonight’s programme: the government publishes the long-awaited Defence Investment Plan, but critics say not all of its spending is accounted for; and a collaboration between legendary Indian singer Asha Bhosle and the British band Gorillaz.
