Escalation: Supreme Court strikes down Trump's birthright citizenship order

On July 1, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Donald Trump's executive order to limit birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, marking a significant defeat for his immigration policies.

The ruling was celebrated by various advocacy groups, including the ACLU and Asian Law Caucus, who argued that the executive order undermined fundamental rights.

In response to the ruling, these groups expressed their commitment to protecting birthright citizenship and ensuring that all individuals born in the U.S. are granted citizenship.

This decision comes as part of a broader trend of the Supreme Court pushing back against several of Trump's immigration initiatives during his presidency.

While the ruling on birthright citizenship was unanimous, Trump's financial disclosures revealed he holds over $50 million in Bitcoin and made more than $1.2 billion from cryptocurrency ventures in 2025, indicating a shift in focus from immigration to business interests.
