The deadline for the Trump administration to ask the US Supreme Court to reconsider its ruling on birthright citizenship has passed without a filing appearing on the court’s docket. This matters because the court’s decision blocked President Trump’s attempt to restrict automatic citizenship for certain US-born children, leaving that ruling in place unless pursued through other legal or legislative routes.

The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in June against Trump’s executive order, which sought to deny citizenship to children born in the US to parents who were in the country unlawfully or temporarily. Trump had said he would seek an immediate rehearing, but the 25-day period expired; such requests are rarely granted, with the court last changing an opinion after rehearing in 1965.
