What to know about the long-awaited birthright citizenship rulingHere’s what to know about the court’s expected ruling on birthright citizenship:A lower court previously blocked Trump's executive order directing U.S. agencies not to recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States if neither parent is an American citizen or legal permanent resident, also called a "green card" holder.Challengers to Trump's order argued that it violates language in the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment that confers citizenship to those born in the United States who are "subject to the jurisdiction thereof."Trump issued the order last year on his first day back in office as part of a suite of policies to crack down on legal and illegal immigration. Critics have accused the Republican president of racial and religious discrimination in his approach to immigration.Ahead of the ruling, some experts had estimated that Trump's directive could affect the legal status of as many as 250,000 ‌babies born each year.Associated Press30 June 2026 14:26The Supreme Court is set to deliver series of long-awaited rulings todayThe Supreme Court is poised to issue a series of high-profile decisions Tuesday, the last day of its term.At 10 a.m., the justices are expected to deliver a long-awaited decision on the legality of President Donald Trump’s executive order last year seeking to end birthright citizenship, a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment.The court will also rule on whether bans in West Virginia and Idaho preventing transgender athletes from competing in women’s school sports are constitutional.Brendan Rascius30 June 2026 14:22
