Trump Refuses To Let Birthright Citizenship Fight End

Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump said July 8 he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to immediately rehear its birthright citizenship ruling, seeking to revive his executive order limiting automatic citizenship for some U.S.-born children. The court ruled June 30 that the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause makes babies born in the United States citizens, striking down the order Trump signed on his first day in office. Trump cited border-area billboards in Mexico advertising “BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP” and “Deliveries starting at $4000,” calling the ruling a “miscarriage of justice.”

Day 2

Latest update · Jul 10

Legal experts said President Donald Trump’s planned Supreme Court request for a rehearing on birthright citizenship faces steep odds, noting the justices have not reheard a case since 1965. Trump said he would seek immediate reconsideration after the Court’s 6-3 decision invalidated his day-one executive order seeking to restrict automatic citizenship for some children born in the United States, calling the ruling a “miscarriage of justice.” The case turns on the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause, which the Court held grants citizenship to people born on U.S. soil and subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

What the analysis & opinion pieces argue

Do-over bid

Trump is pushing the Supreme Court for a rehearing after losing over his birthright citizenship order. The request amounts to a rare and improper do-over aimed at overturning a decision that already went against him.
