Supreme Court Rejects Rehearing of Trump Birthright Citizenship Order; GOP Bill Seeks Legislative End-Run

Politico—The Supreme Court declined to rehear a case involving Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, leaving the order still blocked by lower courts. Trump announced he will ask the court to reconsider, while simultaneously a House Republican introduced the Birthright Citizenship Clarification Act to codify the ban through statute rather than waiting for a constitutional ruling. The dual legislative-judicial strategy reflects the administration's determination to end automatic citizenship for US-born children of non-citizens, a right currently protected under the prevailing interpretation of the 14th Amendment. Legal experts expect challenges to continue in the lower courts regardless of congressional action.
