The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship, rejecting President Donald Trump's executive order that sought to deny automatic citizenship to many children born in the United States to parents who were in the country illegally or temporarily.

According to the court's majority opinion, children born in the United States to such parents remain citizens at birth under the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett and the court's three liberal justices.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh agreed the executive order could not stand, although he based his opinion on a federal law enacted in 1940 rather than the Constitution. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented.

The report said President Trump signed the executive order on his first day back in office in January 2025. Lower federal courts had previously blocked the order, finding it conflicted with longstanding constitutional protections.
