About the case

The Supreme Court affirmed birthright-citizenship protection on June 30, 2026. Plaintiffs returned to the District of New Hampshire on August 11 to seek clarification or modification of the preliminary injunction after a follow-on executive order. On September 9, their counsel announced further motions seeking protection for a new class affected by that order.

Relief

The plaintiffs sought to keep the executive order from taking effect and to preserve birthright citizenship for the affected class of U.S.-born children.

What's next

The next material development is a district-court ruling on the requested relief.
