U.S. Supreme Court Expected To Rule On Trump Birthright Citizenship Order Tuesday

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to hand down a decision on Tuesday on President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship, a case that could affect “thousands,” according to CBS News.

CBS News said immigration attorneys including Tessy Ortiz are trying to keep up with “drastic immigration decisions,” and Ortiz described the situation as “very, very stressful.”

The CBS News report also said the court last week ruled that immigration officials can continue turning away migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, and it said the practice was introduced under the Obama administration and later expanded during President Trump’s first term.

In the same CBS News account, Ortiz said the birthright decision is “for future births” but could have “a huge impact on hospitals,” adding, “This is going to be tough. This is going to be massive.”

USA Today said the court is also expected to decide Tuesday whether Trump’s order redefining who is a U.S. citizen from birth is constitutional, after the court blocked Trump from immediately firing Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook while backing his authority to fire a Democratic appointee to the Federal Trade Commission.

USA Today reported that Trump said, “I guess I have to accept it,” after the Supreme Court declined to hear his appeal in a case involving E. Jean Carroll, and it quoted Trump saying the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright restrictions would be “very bad for the nation.”

In USA Today’s account of the birthright case, Trump said, “It’s tremendously destructive, it’s extremely costly,” and he argued it would be better if the justices “didn’t allow it.”

SCOTUSblog said the court’s “home stretch” includes live blogging beginning at 9:30 a.m. EDT and expected decisions in argued cases including “Trump v. Barbara (birthright citizenship)” and “Trump v. Slaughter (removal protections for heads of independent agencies).”

AP News said the Supreme Court is wrapping up a term focused on Trump’s claims of presidential power, including efforts to restrict birthright citizenship, fire the heads of most independent agencies at will, and remove a sitting Federal Reserve governor.

AP News also said the court is weighing cases from West Virginia and Idaho about laws that prohibit transgender girls and women from playing on public school and college sports, alongside election-related cases about mail-in ballots and limits on political party spending.

Mint said the Supreme Court is set to hand down the final four decisions of its 2025-26 term on Tuesday (June 30), with rulings expected on Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order, state bans on transgender athletes competing in girls’ sports, campaign finance rules for the 2026 midterm elections, and parents’ rights in cases involving transgender minors.

Mint quoted the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment as stating: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”

The Hill said Chief Justice John Roberts announced the court would hand down remaining opinions Tuesday beginning 10 a.m. EDT, and it said the “banner immigration policy” hangs in the balance as the court decides whether Trump’s restrictions on birthright citizenship can stand.

The Hill also said the court will decide whether Idaho’s and West Virginia’s bans on transgender athletes can stand, and it described the campaign finance issue as a GOP-backed challenge to a provision on how much money candidates can spend in coordination with their political party.

SCOTUSblog said the court orders from the justices’ June 25 conference were expected at 9:30 a.m. EDT, and it noted that the justices’ financial disclosure reports for 2025 were scheduled to be released at noon EDT.
