Trump limits US citizenship by birth President signed orders aimed at restricting the granting of US citizenship by birth, reports The Wall Street Journal.
Consensus
- Donald Trump signed two executive orders restricting U.S. citizenship by birthright.
- The orders aim to combat 'birth tourism'—foreigners traveling to the U.S. specifically to give birth.
- The previous attempt by Trump to restrict birthright citizenship was blocked by the U.S. Supreme Court in June 1026.
- The new orders are expected to face legal challenges due to potential violations of the 14th Amendment.
- The U.S. Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security are tasked with implementing measures to restrict such travel and issuance of citizenship documents.
