The U.S. Supreme Court dealt President Donald Trump a decisive legal and political setback on Tuesday, rejecting his administration’s attempt to strip birthright citizenship from children born in the United States to undocumented parents. In a 6-3 ruling issued on the final day of its term, the Court reaffirmed that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees citizenship to anyone born on American soil, a decision described by legal scholars as a “striking rebuke” to Trump’s immigration agenda .

The ruling, which constitutional experts say cannot be overturned by statute or executive action, marks the second major defeat for Trump at the hands of the Supreme Court in as many days. On Monday, the same 6-3 conservative majority upheld state-level bans on transgender girls competing in girls’ school sports, further complicating the president’s efforts to reshape American social policy through executive orders . Legal analysts note that the Court’s divided stance on birthright citizenship may signal future challenges, even as the decision is framed as final .

Immigrant rights advocates and Democratic lawmakers swiftly hailed the decision. U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California called the ruling a “victory for the Constitution and for American values,” while Elora Mukherjee, a clinical professor at Columbia Law School, framed it as a rebuke to Trump’s broader immigration crackdown . The ruling arrives amid escalating enforcement actions under Trump’s administration, including the deportation of migrants to third countries such as Palau, as reported by German and Dutch media .

International reaction has been sharply critical, with Pope Leo XIV condemning Trump’s immigration policies and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance accusing the Vatican of fostering “alarming” positions on migration . Meanwhile, Trump’s political response has focused on consolidating control over the Republican Party, announcing a special convention ahead of the November midterms—a move political analysts describe as unprecedented .

The Supreme Court’s twin rulings underscore the limits of executive power in reshaping constitutional rights, even under a president who has repeatedly sought to bypass legislative and judicial constraints. For Trump, the setbacks represent not only a legal defeat but a political vulnerability as his administration’s immigration policies face mounting scrutiny in courts and on the campaign trail.
