Trump Signs Executive Orders to Limit Birthright Citizenship and Target Birth Tourism
US President Donald Trump signed two executive orders aiming to restrict birthright citizenship and curb "birth tourism," following a Supreme Court ruling that struck down his earlier broader attempt. The orders target specific groups, including children of foreign diplomats, individuals labeled as "alien enemies," and those involved in fraudulent citizenship claims. The administration argues these measures align with historical exceptions to the 14th Amendment, while critics anticipate legal challenges. The orders also direct federal agencies to enforce stricter visa scrutiny to prevent births intended solely to secure US citizenship.
