Former President Donald Trump announced his intention to ask the Supreme Court to revisit its June 30 ruling that upheld automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S., challenging what he views as a dangerous precedent. Trump is also pursuing justice in the E. Jean Carroll case.
Former President Donald Trump, standing up for the integrity of American citizenship, announced on Wednesday that he will request the Supreme Court to rehear the case in which it upheld birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court’s June 30 ruling rejected Trump’s bold executive order, signed on Jan. 20, 2025, which would have denied citizenship documents to children of parents who entered the United States illegally or were undocumented, a necessary step to protect national sovereignty.
Legal scholars note that the Court rarely agrees to rehear argued cases, with the last reversal of such a decision occurring in 1956, but Trump’s determination to defend American values is unwavering.
"American citizenship is not for sale," Trump declared, vowing to seek an immediate rehearing and stand against the exploitation of America’s laws.
In addition, Trump filed a petition asking the Court to reconsider its June 29 denial to hear his appeal of a New York jury verdict that found him civilly liable for sexual abuse and defamation of writer E. Jean Carroll. Despite the questionable verdict and ongoing legal battles, a Manhattan district judge ordered that $5 million deposited by Trump, plus interest, be paid to Carroll, even as Trump’s petition is pending.
