Former President Donald Trump announced on July 8, 2026, that he intends to request the US Supreme Court to revisit its ruling that the 14th Amendment guarantees birthright citizenship. This move follows a Fox News report highlighting a Texas hospital advertising maternity services to expectant mothers in Mexico via two billboards.

Trump described the advertisements as "shocking new evidence," claiming that "Signs and Billboards are being put up all over our Southern Border, and Mexico, advertising BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, with ‘Deliveries starting at $4000.’" He shared this statement on his social media platform, although the claim was noted as a significant exaggeration of the Fox News report, which referenced only two billboards.

The advertisements in question were located near the US-Mexico border in Texas, drawing attention to the ongoing debate over birthright citizenship and immigration policies.
