Trump signs executive orders targeting birthright citizenship
The orders direct agencies to curb birth-tourism businesses and prosecute related fraud, after the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s earlier effort.
- President Donald Trump signed two executive orders aimed at limiting the scope of birthright citizenship and directing federal agencies to crack down on the commercial "birth tourism" industry, reviving a key immigration policy objective despite previous legal setbacks.

- Legal experts expect the new directives to face immediate court challenges, following the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2026 ruling that struck down Trump's earlier executive order restricting birthright citizenship under the Fourteenth Amendment.
