Summary
The Supreme Court just delivered a major blow to Trump’s immigration agenda, upholding birthright citizenship in a 6-3 ruling that confirms anyone born on U.S. soil is automatically a citizen — no matter their parents’ immigration status. Trump’s executive order attempting to block citizenship for children born to undocumented immigrants or visa holders was swiftly rejected by lower courts and now officially overturned by the highest court. The decision reaffirms the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, citing a 1898 landmark case to show that “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means exactly what it’s always meant: born here, you’re a citizen. Despite Trump personally attending oral arguments, his effort to rewrite this constitutional right through executive action failed. The ACLU hailed the ruling as a victory for the rule of law, while Trump continues pushing Congress to legislatively change the rule — but the court made it clear: no president can unilaterally alter the Constitution. This ruling marks another significant defeat for Trump’s immigration policies, reinforcing the enduring principle that American soil grants American citizenship.
