Even if the mothers' immigration statuses were called into question and even if Trump was not married to them at the time of the children's births, all of Trump's children have an American father. Thus, Trump's executive order against birthright citizenship would not affect the statuses of his own children.

The practical effect of Friday’s decision is that birthright citizenship would end in the 28 states that have not challenged the president’s order.

Supreme Court justices lambasted each other's arguments in a ruling over an effort by the president to deny birthright citizenship to children born to immigrants.
