U.S. Supreme Court blocks Trump birthright citizenship order while upholding transgender sports bans
U.S. Supreme Court rejects Trump birthright citizenship order, upholds transgender sports bans
Continuationrevised 2×
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday dealt President Donald Trump a sweeping legal defeat by striking down his executive order to end birthright citizenship, a cornerstone of his immigration agenda, while simultaneously upholding state bans on transgender girls competing in girls’ school sports. The 6-3 rulings, issued on the final day of the Court’s term, reaffirmed the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil and validated state-level restrictions on transgender athletes, delivering a mixed verdict to the administration.
In a blunt rebuke to Trump’s attempt to redefine citizenship by executive fiat, the Court ruled that the 1868 constitutional provision remains inviolable. “Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights—to freely participate in our political community,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority . The decision, which cannot be overturned by statute or further executive action, was joined by Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Barrett, Jackson, and Kavanaugh, while Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissented. Trump, who had publicly pressured his appointees to side with him, called the ruling “too bad for the country” and urged Congress to pass legislation banning birthright citizenship .
The Court’s second ruling, also 6-3, cleared the path for states to exclude transgender girls from girls’ school sports, a policy Trump hailed as a “big win” . The decision affects 25 states with similar laws, though the Court’s reasoning centered on the authority of Virginia and Idaho to set such rules. Legal experts noted the rulings reflect a Court willing to both constrain and empower the presidency, depending on the issue.
Immigration advocates celebrated the birthright citizenship ruling as a victory for constitutional principle, but warned that the administration’s broader crackdown—including plans to file 250 denaturalization cases by October—remains a threat . “We need to keep fighting,” said Efrén Olivares of the National Immigration Law Center. Meanwhile, dissenting Justice Samuel Alito argued the majority’s interpretation could allow non-resident parents to exploit citizenship for their children, a concern echoed by Trump’s allies .
The rulings underscore the Supreme Court’s role as a check on executive overreach while leaving room for state-level policy battles. With Trump’s immigration agenda stalled and his sports policy validated, the decisions mark a pivotal moment in the Court’s term, blending constitutional permanence with political volatility.

Corporate Duty of Vigilance in Climate Litigation On 25 June 2026, the Paris Judicial Court ruled on the adequacy of TotalEnergies vigilance plan. Among other things, the Court ruled that the companys Vigilance Plan must address the greenhouse gases generated through the downstream use of its products (Scope 3 emissions). The judgment simultaneously strengthens the normative content of the Duty of Vigilance while revealing the judiciarys reluctance to fully articulate a unified framework of corporate climate responsibility.

Vulnerable by Legal Design Today, the deadline expires for applications under Spains extraordinary regularization program that made headlines around the world when announced in January 2026. Designed to provide a pathway to legal residence for hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants already present in the country, it is the largest regularization initiative in the countrys history. Yet the program raises questions that extend well beyond the Spanish context. In particular, it invites reflection on the relationship between irregular status and vulnerability.
