Trump Calls Anticipated Supreme Court Loss on Birthright Citizenship Order 'A Disgrace'

President Trump publicly stated he expects the Supreme Court to rule against his executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, calling the anticipated outcome "a disgrace." The Supreme Court heard arguments on April 1, 2026, with a majority of justices appearing poised to invalidate the directive as unconstitutional. Lower courts had previously blocked the order, ruling that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil. Trump singled out Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett in social media posts criticizing the expected ruling—both justices he personally appointed. This represents a direct attempt to pressure sitting justices before their decision. The Court is expected to issue its decision by the end of June or early July 2026.
