> The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship, striking down Trump's executive order to end it.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on June 30, 2026, that the Constitution guarantees automatic citizenship to virtually all children born on American soil, striking down President Trump's January 2025 executive order that sought to deny citizenship to children of undocumented or temporarily present parents.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion in Trump v. Barbara, grounding the decision in the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause and the Court's 1898 precedent in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, calling the rule of birthright citizenship unchanged for 128 years. Justice Kavanaugh concurred in the result but argued the order was invalid under federal statute rather than the Constitution, leaving room for Congress to legislate changes. Justice Alito dissented, calling the ruling "a serious mistake" and arguing the 14th Amendment requires "sole allegiance" to the United States.

The decision resolves one of the most closely watched legal battles of Trump's second term, preserving a citizenship guarantee that has stood since the Reconstruction era.
