U.S. Supreme Court strikes down Trump executive order on birthright citizenship
The Court ruled 6‑3 that children born in the United States to undocumented or temporary‑visa parents are entitled to citizenship, overturning a Trump administration order.
The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6‑3 decision rejecting President Donald Trump’s bid to restrict birthright citizenship. The ruling held that children born in the United States to undocumented or temporary‑visa parents are entitled to U.S. citizenship, striking down the executive order that would have denied citizenship to such children.
President Trump had signed the executive order on the first day of his second term, aiming to deny citizenship to children born to parents who were illegally present or on temporary visas, according to Dawn. Lower courts blocked the order before the Supreme Court’s decision, also reported by Dawn.
The Court’s decision was issued on 30 June 2026, the final day of its term, as noted by France24 and NPR respectively.
