US Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday that the question of whether to end birthright citizenship will be decided by the US Supreme Court in October during its next session.
“We are very confident in the Supreme Court, but it will be determined in October in a separate decision,” Bondi said during a press conference with President Trump.
Her comments came shortly after the US Supreme Court ruled that individual federal judges can no longer issue nationwide orders stopping government policies. The 6–3 decision came in a case about President Donald Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship.
Meanwhile, reacting to the top court’s decision, Trump said during the press meet, “We can now promptly file numerous policies…such as ending birthright citizenship that were meant for babies of slaves and not for those coming from the outside.”
The Republican leader further echoed past sentiments that the nation's birthright citizenship policy has been misused by criminals to exacerbate crime in the US.
"They used birthright citizenship, some of the worst people, some of the cartels, to get people into our country," he said. "We have to act quickly. When it comes to illegal immigration, we have murderers, killers, we have drug dealers. What they have allowed to come into our country should never be forgotten. It should never be forgotten what they have done to our country. We have to be able to act very quickly, and we are going to do that."
"You should all feel safer now that President Trump can deport all of these gangs now," the Attorney General, excepting a victory during the much anticipated SC verdict on the matter in October.
The Court said judges who hear lawsuits should only decide cases for the people involved, not block policies for everyone in the country. However, the ruling does not mean Trump’s order will be implemented immediately.
The controversial order, signed when the businessman-turned-politician returned to office for the second time in January 2025, dictates that children born in the US should not be citizens unless one parent is a US citizen or legal resident.
An 1898 Supreme Court decision has long guaranteed citizenship to almost all children born on US soil. A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 52% of Americans oppose ending birthright citizenship, while 24% support the idea.
