U.S. Supreme Court Analyzes Trump’s Order to Restrict Birthright Citizenship
The Supreme Court is analyzing whether it will accept Donald Trump’s appeal regarding his executive order that seeks to restrict birthright citizenship for children of parents who are in the United States without legal status or with temporary status. So far, federal courts have blocked the measure for being considered unconstitutional, so it has not gone into effect. If the court decides to take the case, arguments would be presented in early 2026 and a ruling could be issued midyear.
This review comes as the Trump administration faces multiple legal disputes over various immigration policies. The Supreme Court has issued mixed decisions in emergency cases, halting some actions such as expedited deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, while allowing other massive immigration operations. Additionally, the court is reviewing an appeal by the government to deploy the National Guard in Chicago for immigration purposes, a measure currently blocked.

The birthright citizenship order represents the first immigration policy from Trump to reach the high court for a substantive ruling. If validated, it would modify more than a century of interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which recognizes citizenship for those born on U.S. soil. However, lower courts have determined that the measure violates the Constitution. Organizations such as the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) argue that the government’s arguments are weak, while the Trump administration insists that the policy is necessary for national security.
