US Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, blocks Trump order
The 6-3 ruling says the 14th Amendment covers nearly all U.S.-born children and leaves an estimated 250,000 births a year protected, officials said.
- On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's executive order in a 6-3 decision, affirming that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to nearly everyone born on U.S. soil.
- Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2025, attempting to deny automatic citizenship to children born to parents unlawfully or temporarily present, prompting immediate legal challenges from immigrant rights groups and 22 state attorneys general.
- Chief Justice John Roberts cited the 1898 United States v. Wong Kim Ark ruling to anchor the majority opinion, preserving birthright citizenship for roughly 255,000 children born annually, according to the Migration Policy Institute.
- Trump called the ruling "too bad for our Country" and urged Congress to pass legislation ending birthright citizenship, stating, "They will have my complete and total support!"
- Justice Samuel Alito dissented, calling the ruling a "serious mistake," while Justice Brett Kavanaugh clarified his vote relied on a 1952 immigration law, leaving Congress a potential statutory path forward.
