Peter Schweizer’s revelation that the Trump administration intends to use reporting from his new book, The Invisible Coup, in the forthcoming Supreme Court fight over birthright citizenship is not a rumor — it came straight from Schweizer during a Founders Roundtable appearance and signals that the administration is preparing to put hard evidence on the table about how foreign actors exploit our laws. This is the kind of hard-hitting, investigative work conservatives have long demanded to defend national sovereignty and the integrity of American citizenship.
The stakes couldn’t be higher: the Supreme Court has set oral argument for April 1, 2026, in the case challenging President Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship, with a decision expected by late June or early July. If the justices take the book’s revelations into account, the country could witness a major reaffirmation of the principle that citizenship is more than a birth certificate — it is tied to allegiance and jurisdiction.
President Trump signed Executive Order 14160 on January 20, 2025, directing federal agencies to stop recognizing automatic citizenship for children of parents here illegally or temporarily, and multiple federal judges have blocked that order while lawsuits proceed; the administration’s legal posture is now squarely before the high court. Americans who love the rule of law know we cannot allow constitutional loopholes to be exploited in ways that dilute citizenship and reward bad actors.
Schweizer’s book details a chilling two-route strategy allegedly used by foreign powers, including China: birth tourism and loose surrogacy arrangements that let foreigners secure U.S. passports for children without any real ties to our country. These aren’t hypothetical worries but documented practices that deserve examination by judges who take their duty to defend the nation seriously.
According to Schweizer, he personally briefed President Trump, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and senators including Ron Johnson and Eric Schmitt on the material — and those discussions apparently convinced administration officials to weave the reporting into their Supreme Court strategy. If true, that means the arguments before the justices will be grounded not only in constitutional theory but in concrete evidence of how our citizenship rules are being manipulated.
This fight is about more than law; it’s about whether America remains a nation defined by shared allegiance and secure borders, or whether we let open-door policies and foreign schemes erode the very idea of American identity. Patriots should welcome a thorough, evidence-based courtroom reckoning and demand that our leaders and judges protect the meaning of citizenship for future generations.
