Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship in 5-4 Decision – Roberts, Coney Barrett Side With Liberals | 30 June 2026 | The US Supreme Court on Tuesday struck down President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship in a 5-4 decision. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion. “Children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause,” Roberts wrote. Roberts was joined by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Justice Elena Kagan, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. In September, President Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court to end birthright citizenship. Several federal judges have blocked President Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.
