The U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship, ruling 6–3 that the policy is unconstitutional. Handed down on June 30, 2026, the landmark decision in Trump v. Barbara (alternatively cited as Trump v. CASA) firmly establishes that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees automatic citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' immigration status.
