US EditionSupreme Court Birthright Citizenship Case Could Affect Newborns' Medicaid Status
Justices appeared skeptical of the administration’s argument, and a ruling could affect hundreds of thousands of newborns and their access to benefits.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, with justices appearing skeptical of the administration's attempt to end birthright citizenship via executive order.
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2025, his first day in office, aiming to deny birthright citizenship to babies born to parents without permanent legal status.
- Solicitor General John Sauer contended the 14th Amendment excludes non-citizens, but Chief Justice John Roberts questioned how Sauer could apply "quirky" and "idiosyncratic" examples to an entire immigrant class.

- A decision is expected by late June or early July 2026, with the policy set to take effect 30 days after any ruling upholding the order, potentially reshaping United States immigration standards.
