The Supreme Court ruled against Trump in the birthright citizenship case by a 6-3 majority.
On June 30, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against President Donald Trump in the birthright citizenship case by a 6-3 majority, according to reports.
Two conservative justices nominated by Trump—Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh—sided against him in the decision. The Court endorsed the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause, which grants citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States.
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion that there was 'scant evidence' to support the administration's 'dramatically revisionist view' of the amendment. Trump reacted on Truth Social, questioning the cost of the Court's negative rulings.
