Trump signs executive orders targeting birthright citizenship
- U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders narrowing eligibility for birthright citizenship, targeting children born to certain foreign government employees and those involved in fraudulent citizenship activities.
- These actions followed the Supreme Court's ruling blocking Trump's earlier broader executive order seeking to restrict birthright citizenship for children of unauthorized or temporary residents.
- Trump claimed his new orders would be constitutional and focused on limiting automatic citizenship, including efforts to stop birth tourism.
- Legal experts and immigration advocates argue that the Constitution clearly guarantees birthright citizenship, warning that restrictions could create a second-class population and expect further legal challenges.
