Donald Trump Seeks Supreme Court Rehearing on Birthright Citizenship
US · Published Jul 9, 2026
Former US President Donald Trump has announced plans to request a rehearing from the US Supreme Court regarding its recent decision to strike down his executive order on birthright citizenship.
The court, in a 6-3 ruling in June 2026, declared that Trump's order violated the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees citizenship to all individuals born in the country.

Impact & Risks

The Supreme Court's decision to uphold birthright citizenship has significant implications for immigration policy in the US. Rights groups have praised the ruling, emphasizing its role in preventing the creation of a multigenerational underclass of undocumented individuals. However, Trump's push for a rehearing and legislative changes could reignite debates on immigration and constitutional rights. If successful, such changes could affect hundreds of thousands of children born annually in the US, potentially increasing the undocumented population by millions over the coming decades.
