US Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, blocks Trump order

- 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.

- 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.
