Deadline passes for Trump to ask Supreme Court to reconsider birthright citizenship ruling
by: LINDSAY WHITEHURST, Associated Press Posted: Jul 28, 2026 / 07:13 PM CDT Updated: Jul 28, 2026 / 07:13 PM CDT WASHINGTON (AP) — The deadline passed Tuesday for the Trump administration to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its rejection of the president’s birthright citizenship restrictions, with no new filing on the docket. President Donald Trump vowed to seek a rehearing shortly after the opinion handed him a loss on a signature issue, but by Tuesday the 25-day window had elapsed with no new activity. A petition would face long odds: The court has not agreed to rehear an argued case in more than 50 years. The high court’s 6-3 decision in June struck down Trump’s executive order that would have denied automatic citizenship to children born in the United States whose parents are in the U.S. illegally or temporarily.
