The deadline for the Trump administration to request a Supreme Court rehearing on President Trump's executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship (jus soli) passed on Tuesday without a filing from the Department of Justice. The administration had 25 days to petition the court for reconsideration of the order, which sought to strip automatic citizenship rights for children born in the U.S. to non-citizen parents. The missed deadline effectively ends the legal avenue for the administration to challenge lower court rulings blocking the order, though other legal options may remain. The Hill reported the development as a significant procedural setback for the president's immigration policy.
