Supreme Court has ruled on the United States Birthright Citizenship case.
Philips News reports that the United States Supreme Court has blocked President Donald Trump’s attempt to end automatic birthright citizenship, dealing a major setback to one of the administration’s toughest immigration policies.
In a 6-3 ruling delivered on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the court rejected President Trump’s executive order, which sought to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to some children born on American soil despite the long-standing constitutional guarantee.
“Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to ‘every free-born person in this land’. We keep that promise today,” Chief Justice John Roberts said.
Who voted to keep birthright citizenship?
- Justice Sotomayor
- Justice Kagan
- Justice Barrett
- Justice Jackson
- Chief Justice Roberts
- Justice Kavanaugh
- Justice Sotomayor
Who voted to overturn birthright citizenship?
- Justice Thomas
- Justice Alito
- Justice Gorsuch.
Meanwhile, PhilipsNews understands that the decision reaffirmed the protections contained in the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to individuals born or naturalised in the United States. Chief Justice John Roberts said the amendment’s promise of citizenship remains a fundamental constitutional right that the court is bound to uphold.
