The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on March 30, 2026, in Trump v. Barbara, challenging President Trump's executive order limiting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas. As previously covered, the order—issued January 20, 2025—interprets the 14th Amendment as not granting automatic citizenship in these cases. A ruling, expected in coming months, could impact hundreds of thousands of children born after February 20, 2025.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on April 1, 2026, in a case tied to President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to limit automatic birthright citizenship for certain U.S.-born children, including those born to parents who are in the country unlawfully or who lack permanent legal status. The dispute has also fueled renewed attention on “birth tourism,” a practice critics say can involve visa fraud, though giving birth in the United States is not illegal in itself.

Trump, a class‑action lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to limit birthright citizenship for some children born in the United States. The Supreme Court has agreed to review the dispute over the order, which targets babies whose mothers lack legal status or are in the country on temporary visas and whose fathers are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents.
