Supreme Court Birthright Citizenship Ruling and Reaction
Johnson said lawmakers should move quickly after the court preserved automatic citizenship for most U.S.-born children despite Trump’s failed executive order.
- On June 30, the Supreme Court struck down President Donald Trump's Executive Order 14160, which directed federal agencies to deny automatic citizenship to children born in the United States based on parental immigration status.
- Reaffirming longstanding precedent, the Court cited the 14th Amendment and the 1898 decision in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, establishing that children born on U.S. soil acquire citizenship at birth regardless of parental immigration status.
- Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred in the judgment while suggesting Congress could enact legislation to establish exceptions to birthright citizenship, offering a potential legislative path forward.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Fox News Sunday he is working on a "legislative fix," describing the current system as abused through "birthright tourism." Johnson indicated lawmakers should move quickly if a legislative path exists.
- Rod Adams, executive director of the New Justice Project, warned that efforts to end birthright citizenship amount to voter suppression, as conservatives shift focus from executive orders to Capitol Hill following the ruling.
