After Supreme Court Setback, Trump Again Targets Immigration by Expanding Definition of Birthright Citizenship
The orders expand long-recognized exceptions and triggered more than 600 visa cancellations, while the ACLU seeks to block their use against covered families.
- On August 6, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders to restrict birthright citizenship and curtail 'birth tourism.' The ACLU returned to court on August 11, seeking an injunction to block enforcement.
- The administration's move follows the Supreme Court's June 30, 2026, ruling in Trump v. Barbara, where justices struck down a prior effort to deny citizenship to children born to foreign parents unlawfully in the United States.
- White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller argues the orders rely on the Immigration and Nationality Act, specifically targeting children of 'alien enemies' and foreign government employees alongside efforts to curb 'birth tourism.'
- On August 12, Secretary of State Marco Rubio reported the Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force revoked over 600 visas, targeting organized rings that coach travelers to falsify paperwork.
- Judge Joseph Laplante is currently considering the ACLU's request for an injunction to protect individuals covered by prior class-action rulings, while analysts question whether the new categories fit within recognized legal exceptions.
