Trump asks Supreme Court to rehear birthright citizenship
CNBC • • nation
Key Points:
- President Donald Trump announced plans to seek a rehearing from the Supreme Court after it ruled against his executive order that aimed to restrict birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants.
- The Supreme Court's June 30 ruling upheld that babies born in the U.S. are automatically citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment, rejecting Trump's January 2025 order that sought to deny citizenship documents to children of illegal immigrants.
- Legal experts note that the Supreme Court rarely reconsiders cases it has already ruled on, with no rehearing of an argued case since 1965 and no reversal since 1956.
- Trump condemned the ruling as a "miscarriage of justice" and claimed citizenship is being "illegally made" through a scam, insisting American citizenship should not be for sale.
- Separately, the Manhattan District Court ordered $5 million plus interest to be paid to E. Jean Carroll in a civil case against Trump, despite his ongoing petition for Supreme Court reconsideration.
