What to Know About Trump's New Attempt to Limit Birthright Citizenship
The orders focus on future births and visa scrutiny, and legal experts expect new constitutional challenges after the Supreme Court blocked a broader policy.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump issued two executive orders attempting to restrict birthright citizenship for specific foreign groups, marking a narrower strategy after the Supreme Court blocked his previous policy earlier this year.
- Narrowing the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment, the administration is now seeking to categorize specific future births as falling outside constitutional protections after the Supreme Court rejected their previous attempt in June.
- New restrictions target children of foreign diplomats and international organization employees, as well as individuals classified as "alien enemy," while officials aim to curb "birth tourism" schemes estimated to involve nearly 9,600 to 26,000 births annually.
- White House staff secretary Will Scharf defended the measures as "legally validated" attempts targeting the "birth tourism industry," while ACLU attorney Cody Wofsy countered that "no additional executive order can change the meaning of the Constitution."
- Legal experts anticipate multiple lawsuits in the coming weeks, potentially forcing the Supreme Court to revisit the issue and determine whether these targeted restrictions can survive constitutional scrutiny under the Fourteenth Amendment.
