The question
Whether the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause guarantees citizenship to children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present.
Trump v. Barbara
What the Court decided
The Court affirmed the injunction against Executive Order No. 14160 and held that children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present are citizens at birth. Such children are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States under the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause. The Executive Order, which denied them birthright citizenship, is inconsistent with the Fourteenth Amendment.
How the justices split
7-2The Court's opinion
Roberts, joined by Sotomayor, Kagan, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett, Jackson
The opinion of the Court held that children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause, and that Executive Order No. 14160 is inconsistent with the Fourteenth Amendment. It affirmed the District Court's injunction against the Order.
Dissenting
Thomas, joined by Alito
The dissent would have held that children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States for purposes of the Citizenship Clause, and that Executive Order No. 14160 is therefore consistent with the Fourteenth Amendment.
