Trump Says He Will Ask Supreme Court to Rehear Birthright Citizenship Case

The 6-3 ruling held that children born in the United States to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily present satisfy the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment. Trump called the decision "absolutely insane" and said the outcome "will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision."

June Ruling The June 30 decision blocked the 2025 executive order Trump issued that sought to prevent children of immigrants in the country without authorization from automatically becoming U.S. citizens. Writing for the majority, the court said children born to parents who are unlawfully or temporarily in the United States satisfy the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment.

Trump cited a Fox News report on two Texas hospital billboards advertising maternity services in Mexico, with one advertisement listing deliveries starting at $4,000.

Trump called on Congress to pass legislation ending birthright citizenship. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he supports a bill to curtail the policy and would advance it immediately if one is introduced. "If there is a bill that can fix that, we’ll advance that immediately," Johnson said in a July 5 interview on Fox News.

Under the Supreme Court's rules, parties in a case have 25 days to petition for a rehearing to challenge a judgement or decision based on the merits. The last time the justices granted a rehearing request after a case decision was in 1965.
