Deadline passes for Trump to ask Supreme Court to reconsider birthright citizenship ruling

The deadline for the Trump administration to request the Supreme Court to reconsider its rejection of birthright citizenship restrictions expired without a new filing. The Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in June struck down Trump’s executive order denying automatic citizenship to children born in the U.S. to parents in the country illegally or temporarily. A rehearing petition faces long odds as the court has not agreed to rehear an argued case in over 50 years.
