Trump signs executive orders targeting birthright citizenship
- President Donald J. Trump signed executive orders to restrict birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to certain non-citizen parents, including foreign government employees, alien enemies, and participants in birth tourism or fraudulent schemes.
- The orders exclude children born through commercial birth tourism or surrogacy and aim to address citizenship in U.S. territories despite statutory protections.
- Enforcement responsibilities were assigned to officials such as the Secretaries of State, Homeland Security, Attorney General, and the Social Security Commissioner, with directives to update rules and provide public guidance within 30 days.
- Experts questioned the enforceability of these orders, highlighting that citizenship laws in U.S. territories cannot be changed by executive order and that the policies may face legal challenges.
