In a <\/strong> rebuke to Donald Trump\u2019s anti-immigrant agenda, the supreme court upheld birthright citizenship, which provides nearly all people born in the United States with citizenship.<\/strong> In a 6-3 opinion, the justices ruled that the Trump administration violated a provision of the 14th amendment, which was affirmed by the supreme court 128 years ago. \u201cChildren born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are \u2018subject to the jurisdiction\u2019 of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment\u2019s Citizenship Clause,\u201d the ruling reads.

But that will also be an uphill battle, as any legislation would need to overcome the 60-vote filibuster.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The supreme court also ruled that schools can determine eligibility for women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sports teams based on biological sex,<\/strong> effectively upholding a ban on transgender women and girls from taking part in female sports teams.<\/strong> The ruling centered on the case of Lindsay Hecox, a college student in Idaho, and Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 15-year-old high school student from West Virginia. The court said that West Virginia and Idaho did not violate Title IX \u2013 which bars educational programs that receive federal funding from discriminating based on sex. But the court\u2019s three liberal justices said in a dissenting opinion that the bans do impede on the constitution\u2019s equal protection clause.

I did not believe that this would result in a long-term stay. I was given the diagnosis of depression,\u201d Kean said in a speech on the floor of the House Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n <\/span>Tom\u00a0Kean Jr\u00a0appears in a\u00a0frame\u00a0grab\u00a0from House TV, as he delivers a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives following a months-long absence after he was hospitalized for depression, 30 June 2026.<\/span> Photograph: House TV\/Reuters<\/p>\n Kean, who represents a swing district in New Jersey, last voted on 5 March before disappearing<\/strong>, and his office said little about where he had gone or when he would be back. The congressman did not explain why he had kept his mental health struggles to himself, but indicated that treatment for depression took longer than expected.<\/p>\n \u201cThe doctors recommended that I remain in the hospital to address my illness. They explained to me that this would be the fastest way to recover, and to be honest, I was hesitant. I didn\u2019t think that I had time for it,\u201d Kean said, adding that he did not believe he would need a \u201clong-term stay\u201d in the hospital.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I first informed the public that I was dealing with a medical issue, I was still trying to understand what was happening myself. When I said I hope to return in a matter of weeks, I believed it. Those were the best estimates the doctors could provide, but as the over 48 million of my fellow Americans being treated for this illness have come to discover, there is no timeline for healing.\u201d<\/p>\n Kean said that he was \u201cgrateful that I accepted help, because today I stand before you healthier, stronger, and excited to return to the work that I love.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Kean\u2019s mysterious absence fueled media speculation about where he might be, and what might have been keeping him away from the Capitol, where his absence complicated the GOP\u2019s ability to control of the House of Representatives. Last week, a New York Times reporter found Kean<\/a> at his New Jersey home, but the congressman declined comment.<\/p>\n In 2023, Democratic senator John Fetterman sought inpatient treatment for depression, but in that case, his office promptly announced his hospitalization.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a014.04 EDT<\/p>\n In a <\/strong> rebuke to Donald Trump\u2019s anti-immigrant agenda, the supreme court upheld birthright citizenship, which provides nearly all people born in the United States with citizenship.<\/strong> In a 6-3 opinion, the justices ruled that the Trump administration violated a provision of the 14th amendment, which was affirmed by the supreme court 128 years ago. \u201cChildren born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are \u2018subject to the jurisdiction\u2019 of the United States and are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment\u2019s Citizenship Clause,\u201d the ruling reads.

States have also continued to pass their own laws, including recent measures in Virginia and Rhode Island.<\/p>\n It is the latest high-profile dispute over guns to reach the court since its conservative majority handed down a landmark ruling in 2022 that expanded second amendment rights and spawned challenges to firearm laws around the country.<\/p>\n Arguments are expected to be heard in the fall.<\/p>\n The Connecticut law was passed after a mass shooter used an AR-15 to kill 26 children and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Also today, the supreme court declined to consider \u2060the legality of laws that restrict people aged 18 to 20 from purchasing or using firearms, an area of contention following the court\u2019s expansion of gun rights in recent years.<\/p>\n The justices turned away appeals challenging a federal \u2060ban on handgun purchases by people \u2060ages 18 to 20, as \u200bwell as a similar state law in Florida imposing the same age requirement on all firearms purchases. Lower courts had rejected the arguments by plaintiffs in those cases that those laws violate the US Constitution\u2019s second amendment right to \u201ckeep \u2060and bear arms\u201d.<\/p>\n The supreme court\u2019s rejection of Pennsylvania\u2019s appeal in another case, however, left in place a lower court\u2019s ruling that the state\u2019s laws that ban people ages 18 to 20 from carrying firearms in public during a declared state of emergency \u2060violate the second amendment.<\/p>\n It comes after a ruling on 26 June in which the court struck down a Hawaii law restricting the carrying of handguns on private property open to the public, like most businesses, without the owner\u2019s permission. And on 18 June it limited the application of a decades-old federal law that bars firearms possession by certain drug users, narrowing a measure that had threatened the gun rights of millions of Americans who use marijuana and own firearms.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.58 EDT<\/p>\n Rachel Leingang<\/span><\/p>\n In today\u2019s decision, Chief Justice John Roberts<\/strong> wrote that \u201cthe Court exhaustively canvassed the text and history of the Citizenship Clause and at no point identified any evidence that the ratifiers thought themselves to be imposing a domicile limitation\u201d.<\/p>\n Roberts repeatedly bats down the idea that \u201cdomicile\u201d was much more expansive an idea, and that primary allegiance to the US was commonly seen as part of that definition, both arguments the government tried to make in its case.<\/strong> He writes that \u201cthere is scant evidence for this dramatically revisionist view\u201d.<\/p>\n The quest to overturn birthright citizenship has gained steam among some conservatives in recent years, though most legal scholars still believe the amendment has been interpreted correctly.<\/strong> The administration is relying in part on the legal arguments of a white supremacists from the late 1800s, the Washington Post reported<\/a>. John Eastman<\/strong>, a lawyer who worked with Trump to try to overturn the 2020 election results who has since been disbarred in California, is also a key proponent of the effort to overturn birthright citizenship, Politico reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Donald Trump said that the decision by the supreme court to uphold birthright citizenship is \u201ctoo bad\u201d. But he appeared undeterred in his quest to abolish the right for people born in the US to undocumented people or temporary visitors to become citizens.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation,\u201d<\/strong> Trump insisted. Instead of trying to pass a consitutional amendment \u2013 which is a steep and unlikely hill for the president to climb \u2013 Trump is pushing for lawmakers to create new legislation that establish exceptions to birthright citizenship for children born to parents who do not have permanent legal status in the US.<\/p>\n \u201cCongress should start TODAY to work on ending expensive and unfair to our Country, Birthright Citizenship,\u201d<\/strong> Trump wrote on Truth Social.<\/p>\n Any legislation would need to overcome the 60-vote filibuster, which has proven to be frequently insurmountable on extremely divisive bills during Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a013.10 EDT<\/p>\n Donald Trump has yet to weigh in on the supreme court decision overturning his executive order gutting birthright citizenship. However, he has now declared on Truth Social <\/a>that court\u2019s opinion to end limits on campaign spending by political parties in federal elections a \u201cbig win\u201d for \u201cFOR REPUBLICANS and, more importantly, The First Amendment!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Stephen Miller<\/strong>, one of Donald Trump\u2019s top advisers and the architect of his immigration agenda, branded the opinion to uphold birthright citizenship as \u201cone of the most destructive and outrageous decisions\u201d in the history of the supreme court<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cAmerican citizenship is not the birthright of the world,\u201d Miller added in a statement on X. \u201cNo provision of the Constitution can be read to require our national self-obliteration.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Kevin Roberts<\/strong>, president of the right-wing think tank the Heritage Foundation, called today\u2019s ruling \u201ca tremendous betrayal of the republic\u201d.<\/p>\n Roberts, who masterminded the conservative playbook Project 2025, accused the justices in the majority of launching an \u201call-out assault\u201d on US sovereignty. He also said they have \u201ccheapened the sacred value of American citizenship\u201d.<\/p>\n He then called for a constitutional amendment \u201cto correct this gross injustice\u201d. However, it\u2019s worth noting that this requires the support of two-thirds of Congress, and for at least three-quarters of all 50 states to ratify a hypothetical amendment.<\/strong><\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.11 EDT<\/p>\n Speaking to reporters as the news of the supreme court\u2019s final decisions of this term were announced, House speaker Mike Johnson<\/strong> said he was \u201cdisappointed\u201d in the court\u2019s opinion to uphold birthright citizenship.<\/p>\n \u201cI do think that this has been grossly abused in recent years,\u201d the top Republican said at a press conference earlier. \u201cYou just come onto the soil and have your child, and then they\u2019re they\u2019re able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n However, during the oral arguments in the Trump v Barbara case in April, the government\u2019s lawyer conceded that \u201cno one knows for sure\u201d how significant a problem so-called birth tourism actually is. The Center for Immigration Studies, an anti-immigration thinktank, said that there are between 20,000 to 26,000 births<\/a> by women on tourist visas annually. This is less than one percent of all babies born in the US each year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/span>Mike Johnson speaks at a news conference at the US Capitol, 30 June 2026.<\/span> Photograph: Kevin Dietsch\/Getty ImagesShare<\/p>\n Following the court\u2019s opinion to strike down Donald Trump\u2019s executive order to end birthright citizenship, swathes of civil rights groups have welcomed the highly anticipated ruling.<\/p>\n \u201cEven a far-right supreme court realized overturning the constitutional mandate that people born here are citizens-a mandate that is more than 100 years old and has granted citizenship to millions of people-is not just a betrayal of the constitution itself but also deeply un-American,\u201d<\/strong> said Neera Tanden, president and CEO of the Center for American Progress, in a statement.<\/p>\n The NAACP said the president\u2019s \u201cassault on the 14th amendement was dealt a major blow\u201d following the court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n \u201cToday, the Court rightly rejected efforts to undermine that core protection and instead upheld a principle that is essential to our democracy,\u201d<\/strong> Derrick Johnson, the organization\u2019s president and CEO said.<\/p>\n Democratic members of Congress also applauded the news.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is, and shall be, no question. Donald Trump\u2019s disgraceful actions as it relates to the Birthright Citizenship Clause are clearly unlawful and an assault on our way of life,\u201d said top House Democrat Hakeem Jeffries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Senator Alex Padilla<\/strong>, a Democrat representing California, said that today\u2019s opinion was \u201cpersonal\u201d. The lawmaker\u2019s parents were initially undocumented when they arrived in the US, before becoming citizens.<\/p>\n \u201cWhile we celebrate this ruling today, we cannot rest. Because this is certainly not the end of Trump\u2019s attacks on our constitution, our democracy, and the notion of what it means to be American,\u201d <\/strong>Padilla added.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a012.27 EDT<\/p>\n While we wait for the president\u2019s reaction to today\u2019s decision from the court that rules against his birthright citizenship executive order, he has weighed in on the justices\u2019 decision to uphold the ban on trans athletes competing in female sports teams.<\/p>\n \u201cBIG WIN: The United States Supreme Court just RULED AGAINST MEN PLAYING IN WOMEN\u2019S SPORTS. Wow! That takes that ridiculous situation off the table!!!\u201d<\/strong> the president wrote <\/a>on Truth Social.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n In a stunning rebuke to the Trump administration\u2019s immigration agenda, the US supreme court ruled against the president\u2019s attempt to gut the ability for anyone born on American soil to obtain citizenship.<\/p>\n The president issued an executive order on the first day of his second term in office that sought to undo birthright citizenship. It swiftly drew lawsuits, including from the Democratic state attorneys general and the American Civil Liberties Union, and the court heard oral arguments in the case \u2013 Trump v Barbara \u2013 back in April.<\/p>\n In a 6-3 opinion, the justices ruled that the Trump administration violated a provision of the 14th amendment, which was affirmed by the supreme court 128 years ago. While conservative justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred with the judgment, he dissented in parts.<\/p>\n The Trump administration said that children born to undocumented immigrants and temporary foreign visitors were ineligible for citizenship, arguing that the landmark decision on birthright citizenship \u2013 United States v Wong Kim Ark \u2013\u00a0relied on parents having permanent \u201cdomicile\u201d in the US. However, the term is not included in the 14th amendment.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.49 EDT<\/p>\n Also at the court today, the justices struck down limits on campaign spending in federal elections by political parties. In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the court held that the law\u2019s \u201climits on political parties\u201d coordinated expenditures violate the first amendment.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n The supreme court has ruled that schools can determine eligibility for women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sports teams based on biological sex. As a result the justices effectively upheld a ban on transgender women and girls from taking part in female sports teams.<\/p>\n The ruling centered on the case of Lindsay Hecox, a college student in Idaho, and Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 15-year-old high school student from West Virginia.<\/p>\n The court said that West Virginia and Idaho did not violate Title IX \u2013 which bars educational programs that receive federal funding from discriminating based on sex. But the three liberal justices on the bench \u2013 Sonya Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson \u2013 said in a dissenting opinion that the bans do impede on the constitution\u2019s equal protection clause.<\/p>\n Share<\/p>\n Updated at\u00a010.27 EDT<\/p>\n On Monday, the supreme court sided against national Republicans and Donald Trump\u2019s administration to allow mail-in ballots that arrive after election day to be counted<\/strong>, upholding the law in more than a dozen states. In response, the president used the 5-4 opinion to insist that lawmakers in Congress pass the sweeping voter ID bill, known as the SAVE America act<\/strong>. One of Trump\u2019s legislative priorities.<\/p>\n One of the bill\u2019s requirements would mean that voters have to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote, and would scrap mail-in voting. This, despite Trump having voted by mail in the past.<\/p>\n The president lambasted Republican senators who have stalled the legislation in recent months.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is only one reason to oppose \u2013 CHEATING!<\/strong> The House of Representatives has approved this vital Act, THREE TIMES.
