What Could Change

Developments that could shift our assessment — sources are currently split on these possibilities.

• The u.s. supreme court is expected to issue a decision on trump's birthright citizenship executive order by late june or early july 2026.
• Supreme court justices neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh are likely to find a narrow procedural exit to strike down trump's executive order based on immigration and citizenship law without resolving the fourteenth amendment question.
• The us supreme court will not overturn the principle of birthright citizenship established by the 14th amendment.
