Immigration court alert: Reports show some hearings are being moved on days’ notice, and some people are never told. Missing a hearing, even by mistake, can lead to a deportation order. Check your hearing date and location now, and do not face court without a lawyer.
In Trump v. Barbara, the Court ruled 6–3 that children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present are citizens at birth under the Fourteenth Amendment. Chief Justice Roberts wrote for the majority. Justice Kavanaugh agreed that the order was unlawful on statutory grounds, and Justices Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch dissented. The ruling invalidated the executive order signed January 20, 2025.
What this may mean: The constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship was upheld. The administration has since issued a narrower order, which a court has blocked (see Sep 2).
