The U.S. bishops and CLINIC urge the Supreme Court to block Trump’s 2025 order ending birthright citizenship, citing constitutional and moral concerns.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, joined by CLINIC, has filed a Supreme Court brief opposing President Trump’s 2025 executive order to end birthright citizenship, calling it immoral and a violation of human dignity. The brief argues the policy undermines the 14th Amendment, harms vulnerable children, and contradicts Catholic teachings on the inherent worth of every person. It emphasizes that citizenship should not be denied based on parental status and warns the order fosters fear and exclusion. The case, Trump v. Barbara, is set for April 2026 oral arguments, with the Court having allowed litigation to proceed despite previous limits on injunctions.
