Washington, D.C. — Today, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the guarantee of birthright citizenship by striking down an unconstitutional executive order in Trump v. Barbara, which is also at issue in OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates v. Rubio, in which Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC and Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs (WLC) represent OCA – Asian Pacific American Advocates and other plaintiffs. ![]()

For more than 150 years, the Fourteenth Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship has ensured that there would be no permanent underclass in the United States. The Supreme Court made that clear in 1898, when it held in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that a child born in the United States to Chinese parents was a citizen—even though racist federal laws prohibited Asian immigrants from naturalizing. ![]()
