New Trump Admin Rule Narrows Birthright Citizenship Access
The rule would also let affected children register as lawful permanent residents, with DHS estimating nearly $2,000 in family filing costs.
- On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security filed an interim final rule declaring U.S.-born children of foreign government employees ineligible for birthright citizenship unless one parent is a U.S. citizen.
- President Donald Trump's August 6 executive order tasked agencies with limiting birthright citizenship to protect the meaning and value of American Citizenship, prompting this directive.
- Expanding beyond diplomatic officers, the rule covers more than 124,000 foreign mission members and requires families to pay nearly $2,000 in fees to register children for lawful permanent residence.
- U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman blocked enforcement against members of a certified class-action lawsuit on Wednesday, ruling that DHS cannot implement the measure until obtaining relief from the injunction.
- Cato Institute immigration studies director David Bier criticized the filing as legally unsound, writing that the administration cannot claim individuals are subject to U.S. laws while denying them birthright citizenship.
