Demonstrators hold letters making up the slogan "Born in the USA = citizen!" outside the U.S. Supreme Court building as the court hears oral arguments on the legality of the Trump administration's effort to limit birthright citizenship for the children of immigrants, in Washington, D.C., U.S., April 1, 2026.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would make a long-shot bid to get the Supreme Court to rehear the case in which it ruled against his executive order that sought to sharply restrict birthright citizenship.
The Supreme Court on June 30 held that babies born in the United States are automatically citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment's Citizenship Clause.
The majority ruling rejected Trump's executive order that sought to undo that benefit for the children of many immigrants.
The Supreme Court reportedly has not agreed to rehear a ruling of a case already argued since 1965, and the last time it had reversed a decision it had made in an argued case was 1956.
In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump claimed, "Signs and Billboards are being put up all over our Southern Border, and Mexico, advertising BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, with 'Deliveries starting at $4000.' "
"Likewise, similar signs going up all over our Country," he wrote. Billions of Dollars will be illegally made by this SCAM, with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay."
"AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE! In fact, that is a crime, and therefore, the Supreme Court's ruling is wrong," Trump said.
"I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY. This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don't change their absolutely insane decision."
