Supreme Court rejects Trump bid to limit birthright citizenship

The Supreme Court issued a ruling on June 30, 2026. The Court rejected a legal challenge advanced by former President Donald Trump. The challenge sought to limit the scope of birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment. By denying the bid, the Court left the existing interpretation intact. The decision preserves the automatic citizenship for children born in the United States. The ruling was delivered without overturning prior precedent. Legal analysts noted the outcome underscores the Court’s reluctance to alter constitutional doctrines. The case may influence future immigration policy debates.
