According to Al Jazeera, Trump signed an executive order on January 20, 2025, seeking to bar those born in the US to parents on temporary legal status or without documentation from automatically receiving US citizenship. The Supreme Court rejected this attempt, ruling that his directive violated language in the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed that signs and billboards advertising birthright citizenship were being put up along the Southern Border and across the country. He argued that billions of dollars would be illegally made by this 'scam,' with citizenship going to anyone willing to pay. As reported by CNBC, Trump stated, "AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE! In fact, that is a crime, and therefore, the Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong."
The chances of a new hearing appear low, with the Supreme Court rarely granting requests to rehear cases. It has been decades since the court last allowed a retrial after issuing a ruling in an argued case.
