Supreme Court considers President Trump’s birthright citizenship issue
Families across the country are awaiting Trump’s Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship that could redefine American identity.
One of the most high-profile cases of the Supreme Court’s tenure is a challenge to President Donald Trump’s efforts to sharply limit who can automatically become a citizen.
After taking office in 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal authorities to deny U.S. citizenship to infants born in the United States if neither parent is a citizen or lawful permanent resident.
The court heard arguments in the case in April but did not issue a ruling on birthright citizenship on June 25, leaving it as one of the last few decisions to be announced as the term ends.
The Supreme Court said it would issue an additional judgment on Monday, June 29, but did not specify in advance which judgment it would issue.
President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order is widely seen as having a legal impasse, and he took the unusual step of attending oral arguments before the Supreme Court.
This period ends when all opinions have been published (usually in late June or early July).
