Trump Says He’ll Ask Supreme Court to Rehear Citizenship Case, an Unlikely Event
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- President Trump announced he would ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its recent ruling that struck down his executive order aiming to revoke birthright citizenship, although the court is unlikely to grant a rehearing.
- The Supreme Court had ruled that birthright citizenship, granted to nearly all children born on U.S. soil, is protected by the Constitution.
- Trump cited reports of signs and billboards along the southern border and in Mexico allegedly advertising birthright citizenship, referencing a Texas hospital's marketing that was under investigation but later retracted.
- The hospital involved denied facilitating unlawful activity and stated it complies with all federal and state laws, attributing the advertising to a misunderstanding.
- As of the announcement, no formal request for rehearing had been filed by the administration, despite Trump's urgent call for immediate action.
