The Supreme Court just agreed to hear a case that could decide whether birthright citizenship survives.

This is no longer theoretical — the Trump administration’s push to deny citizenship to U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants is now heading to the highest court in the country.

The case, stemming from an executive order issued on Trump’s first day back in office, would radically limit the 14th Amendment. Under the policy, a child born in the U.S. would only be a citizen if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.

That means millions of Americans — citizens by birthright for generations — could suddenly find themselves stripped of that protection.

Legal experts on both sides of the aisle agree: the Constitution’s language is clear, and so is more than a century of precedent. In 1898, the Supreme Court affirmed that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to those born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents’ status.

This case could unravel that.

With the court expected to rule by June, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A decision in Trump’s favor would not only create a two-tier system of American birth but also open the door to retroactive denials of citizenship — including for children already growing up in U.S. schools, homes, and communities.

We urge the justices to defend the Constitution — not rewrite it.
We urge Congress and state leaders to speak out now.
We urge every American to raise their voice before it’s too late.

Sign this petition to stand up for birthright citizenship — and the American promise it represents.
