The Trump administration missed a key deadline Tuesday to request the Supreme Court to reconsider its rejection of birthright citizenship restrictions, according to a report from the Associated Press. The deadline, set by the court, passed without any new filing from the administration.
The Supreme Court had previously ruled against the administration’s attempt to limit birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are not citizens. The decision was based on the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.
Legal experts noted that the administration’s failure to file a petition could signal the end of its challenge to the ruling. The decision may have long-term implications for immigration policy and the rights of children born to non-citizens in the United States.
The Associated Press reported that no new documents were submitted to the court by the deadline, leaving the legal battle unresolved. (winnipegfreepress.com)
