The Supreme Court ruled against President Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship, affirming that people born in the United States are citizens under the long-standing interpretation of the 14th Amendment and federal law, with only very limited exceptions.
The decision preserves the existing understanding of U.S. birthright citizenship: anyone born in the United States is a citizen unless they fall within narrow exceptions.
The ruling is described as the second major Trump second-term policy struck down by the Supreme Court, following a tariffs ruling in February.
The decision was issued on June 30, 2026.
