Trump signs executive orders targeting birthright citizenship
The orders target birth tourism and narrow exceptions for children of diplomats and foreign government employees, setting up another court fight.
- 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.
- One order seeks to deny automatic U.S. citizenship in certain cases involving children born to parents who allegedly entered or remained in the country through fraudulent use of temporary visas, with the administration arguing that the policy fits within constitutional exceptions.
- The second order instructs the Departments of State and Homeland Security to develop measures targeting birth tourism operations in the United States and abroad, as federal scrutiny of companies offering such services continues.
- 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.
