The deadline passed for the Trump administration to request the Supreme Court to reconsider its June 2026 ruling rejecting birthright citizenship restrictions.

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.

The deadline passed for the Trump administration to request the Supreme Court rehear its birthright citizenship case, with no new filing submitted.

A rehearing petition faces extremely low odds, as the Court has not granted one in over 50 years.
