Hinson Says US Supreme Court 'Got It Wrong' on Birthright Citizenship
Hinson said the ruling encourages illegal immigration and shared a Trump administration release claiming hundreds sought visas to give birth in the United States.
- On June 30, 2026, the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment in a 6-3 decision, striking down President Donald Trump's Executive Order 14160. Anyone born on U.S. soil becomes a citizen regardless of parental status.
- Trump's executive order attempted to limit citizenship for children of parents lacking lawful status, citing concerns over 'birth tourism.' Critics argue the 14th Amendment provision originally addressed freed slaves and should not apply universally today.
- Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ashley Hinson stated the Supreme Court "got it wrong" with its decision. Hinson, a cosponsor of the Birthright Citizenship Act, claims the process is being "exploited" to incentivize illegal immigration.
- During a July 1 campaign event in Cedar Rapids, Democratic Senate candidate Josh Turek praised the ruling, arguing birthright citizenship is clearly protected by the Constitution. He accused Hinson of misrepresenting his immigration record.
- Although Trump suggests Congress could pass legislation to end birthright citizenship, legal experts note such laws face the same constitutional challenges as his executive orders. The issue remains central to the MAGA movement.
