Trump signs executive orders targeting birthright citizenship amid military stockpile scrutiny
US President Donald Trump signed executive orders targeting birthright citizenship while denying reports of military ammunition shortages linked to operations involving Iran.
US President Donald Trump has signed executive orders seeking to restrict automatic birthright citizenship, challenging a legal precedent upheld by the Supreme Court in June.
The move comes amid ongoing scrutiny over US military operations involving Iran. Reports suggest American forces have used a substantial portion of their missile reserves, leading Trump to seek clarification from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding stockpile levels. Trump publicly rejected claims of ammunition shortages, asserting that US military supplies remain vast while warning anonymous sources who leaked information to media outlets that they could face criminal prosecution.
Separately, former medical advisor Anthony Fauci was found in contempt of Congress by the US Senate.
