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.
