  • Supreme Court rules on birthright citizenship, transgender athlete bans
    Jun 30 2026

    The Supreme Court's decision to uphold birthright citizenship is welcome news for many Minnesota families. The justices ruled in favor of the longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment, granting citizenship to nearly anyone born on U.S. soil.


    Also today, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld laws in other states that bar transgender students from participating in school sports. Minnesota officials say the state likely won’t have to change course on rules that allow trans students to join sports that don't match their sex at birth.


    Those stories and more in today’s evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.
