President Trump announced Wednesday that he intends to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider its recent ruling rejecting his effort to end birthright citizenship, calling the decision a catastrophic mistake that threatens the nation’s future.

Last month, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that children born in the United States to parents who are either in the country illegally or temporarily remain entitled to American citizenship under the 14th Amendment. The decision blocked Trump’s executive order that sought to eliminate automatic citizenship for those children.

Responding to the ruling, Trump declared on Truth Social that he would immediately seek another review by the nation’s highest court.

“I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision.”

Requests for Supreme Court rehearings are rarely granted. Under Rule 44 of the Court’s rules, such petitions generally must be submitted within 25 days of the decision and are reserved for extraordinary situations involving major legal or factual matters that may have been overlooked.

Even when a petition is filed, rehearings are almost never approved. In addition, at least one justice who sided with the majority in the original ruling must vote in favor of reopening the case before the Court can rehear it.

The White House has made clear that the administration has no intention of abandoning its effort to end birthright citizenship. Speaking to Newsmax on July 1, Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson said the legal battle is far from over.

According to Jackson, the administration remains determined to challenge what it believes is a longstanding misuse of the nation’s birthright citizenship policy despite the Supreme Court’s decision.

“American citizenship is worth so much more than a cheap plane ticket or a last-minute border crossing,” Jackson said. “The American people can rest assured that President Trump isn’t giving up on this any time soon.”

Jackson also argued that the administration believes the Supreme Court “fundamentally misinterpreted” the original purpose of the 14th Amendment, maintaining that it was never intended to automatically grant citizenship to children born to foreign nationals who entered the United States illegally or on a temporary basis.

In his Truth Social post, Trump also claimed that advertisements promoting birthright citizenship services are appearing along the U.S.-Mexico border and throughout Mexico.

“Signs and Billboards are being put up all over our Southern Border, and Mexico, advertising BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, with ‘Deliveries starting at $4000,'” Trump wrote. “Likewise, similar signs going up all over our Country.

“Billions of Dollars will be illegally made by this SCAM, with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay.

“It will be, by far, the number one way of becoming a citizen, and then the entire family will be allowed to follow. Not sustainable.

“NOBODY SAW THIS COMING!!! AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE! In fact, that is a crime, and therefore, the Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong.”
