President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will ask the Supreme Court to rehear its recent decision striking down his executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship.

In a 5-4 decision last month, the high court held that children born in the United States to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily are U.S. citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment, rejecting Trump’s attempt to deny them automatic citizenship.

“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.”

Supreme Court rehearings are exceedingly rare. Under the court’s Rule 44, a petition for rehearing generally must be filed within 25 days of the judgment and is intended to address exceptional circumstances, including significant legal or factual issues the court might have overlooked. The court grants few such petitions, and a rehearing cannot be ordered unless a justice who joined the majority supports it.

Following the ruling, White House deputy press secretary Abigail Jackson told Newsmax on July 1 that the fight over birthright citizenship “is just getting started” and Trump “isn’t giving up on this any time soon.”

Jackson told “National Report” the administration remains committed to ending what it views as abuse of the nation’s birthright citizenship laws despite the Supreme Court’s ruling.
