US EditionTrump’s Order on Birthright Citizenship Would Harm Millions, Including Citizens
The case challenges President Trump’s 2025 order to exclude children of undocumented and temporary visa holders from birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.
- On April 1, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on President Donald Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visa holders.
- Issued on January 20, 2025, Trump's executive order seeks to end automatic citizenship for most children born on U.S. soil, with the administration arguing the 14th Amendment's 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' clause permits such restrictions.
- Lower courts have repeatedly blocked enforcement, ruling the order violates the 14th Amendment, while the administration insists it 'restores the original meaning' of the citizenship clause.
- Challengers contend the order violates federal immigration law and would transform birth documentation into a bureaucratic nightmare, a burden millions of Americans cannot meet.
- A decision expected by late June or early July could affect legal visa holders and U.S. citizens, as nearly 3.8 million Americans currently lack documentation proving their citizenship.
