The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented or temporary immigrant parents, rejecting an effort by President Donald Trump to alter this long-standing policy.

• Children born in the U.S. to parents on tourist visas or in the country unlawfully will continue to receive American citizenship.
• The ruling affirmed that such children are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, qualifying them under the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause.
• This decision reverses an executive order issued by President Trump in January 2025 that aimed to deny citizenship to these children.
