For a 6-3 majority (Thomas, Alito & Gorsuch, dissenting), Chief Justice Roberts *strikes down* President Trump's executive order purporting to limit which individuals born in the United States would automatically be US citizens; preserves status quo:
Justice Kavanaugh dissented from the majority's constitutional holding, so it's 5-4 on that. But he agreed that the executive order violates the existing federal *statutes,* so the underlying judgment is 6-3.

Roberts has the opinion for the court, which is 5-4 on the constitutional question and 6-3 on whether federal law protects birthright citizenship.
The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's attack on birthright citizenship. By a 5–4 vote, it holds that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born of unauthorized and temporary immigrants. Roberts and Barrett join the three liberals. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The ruling affirms unanimous lower court decisions that blocked the effort for violating the 14th Amendment's Citizenship Clause.
