The Supreme Court did not actually rule on whether birthright citizenship is constitutional in the recent case; it said the lower courts went too far by imposing nationwide blocks on the executive order, but it left the citizenship question itself unresolved.

What that means

  • The 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship rule is still the background law for now.
  • The justices focused on procedure — especially whether one federal judge can block a policy nationwide — rather than deciding the merits of the citizenship issue.
  • So, as of the latest reporting, babies born in the U.S. are still generally treated as U.S. citizens unless and until the Court directly says otherwise.

Short version

The Court said the lower courts overreached, but it did not end birthright citizenship or finally decide the constitutional question.
