Read the summary of the United States v. Wong Kim Ark Supreme Court case. Wong Kim Ark was born in 1873 in the United States to parents who were Chinese citizens living and working in San Francisco. In 1895, Wong was denied entry to the United States when returning from a trip to China. US officials claimed that Wong was not an American citizen because China traced citizenship through bloodlines. Rather than accept the decision, Wong challenged the ruling on the grounds of the 14th Amendment. The case eventually reached the Supreme Court. In 1898, the court ruled in a 6–2 decision that Wong was an American citizen based on his birth in the United States.
