On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at ending birthright citizenship, ruling 6–3 that children born in the United States to parents who are in the country unlawfully or temporarily are citizens at birth.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority, saying the Constitution’s promise of citizenship at birth remains in force. The decision dealt a major setback to Trump’s immigration agenda and preserved the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment.
