US Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, blocks Trump order

The 5-4 ruling rejected Trump’s order and said about 250,000 babies born each year to noncitizen parents remain U.S. citizens, officials said.

  • On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, affirming that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born on U.S. soil.
  • Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2025, denying citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas, prompting class-action lawsuits from parents and civil-rights groups challenging the policy.
  • Chief Justice John Roberts cited the 1898 landmark case United States v. Wong Kim Ark, writing there was "scant evidence" supporting the administration's "dramatically revisionist view" of the citizenship clause.
  • Trump characterized the ruling as "too bad for our Country" on Truth Social and urged Congress to pass legislation restricting birthright citizenship, though constitutional experts note an amendment would be required.
  • The Migration Policy Institute estimates roughly 255,000 infants born annually would have lost citizenship under the policy, while Justice Clarence Thomas dissented in a 91-page opinion challenging the majority's interpretation.
