Trump Seeks Supreme Court Rehearing on Birthright Citizenship

President Donald Trump disclosed on Wednesday that he would ask the US Supreme Court to rehear a case challenging birthright citizenship, after its “insane” ruling rejecting his efforts to restrict the long-standing constitutional provision.

Petitions for a rehearing must be filed within 25 days of a decision and are very rarely granted.

“The Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong. I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform as he flew back from a NATO summit in Turkey.

“This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision.”

On June 30, the high court rejected Trump’s bid to restrict birthright citizenship in a blow to one of his signature anti-immigration initiatives.
