Trump Birthright Citizenship Fight Revived by Hospital Adverts, But Court Hasn't Reheard a Case Since 1965

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he will ask the US Supreme Court to rehear the case that killed his birthright citizenship order, and the trigger was not a new legal argument but hospital billboards near the Texas border selling birth packages from $3,950 (£2,948).

The demand faces near-impossible odds. The Court hasn't agreed to rehear an argued case since 1965, and last reversed one of its own decisions in 1956, according to Georgetown University law professor Steven Vladeck. That makes the real story what this signals for millions of mixed-status families, not what it changes in law.
