The Supreme Court’s Ruling on Birthright Citizenship

On June 30^th, the Supreme Court ruled in Trump v. Barbara that President Trump’s January 2025 executive order on birthright citizenship can’t stand. The Order would have denied citizenship to children born in the United States to parents who were in the country unlawfully or only temporarily. The vote was 6–3, but each of the justices reached this result through different means, while only five of them said the Constitution itself rules the order out.
