US Expands Birthright Citizenship Exceptions for Children of Foreign Government Employees
The US Department of Homeland Security issued a new interim final rule effective September 4 that expands the exception to birthright citizenship for children born in the US to certain foreign government employees. This rule broadens the definition from accredited foreign diplomats to include other foreign government workers and international organization employees with immunity. Some categories, such as personal employees and certain contractors, are excluded. The rule also allows eligible children to register as lawful permanent residents from birth, implementing President Trump's executive order.
