Trump signs new executive decrees targeting US birthright citizenship and birth tourism
US President Donald Trump signed executive orders restricting birthright citizenship and birth tourism following a recent Supreme Court ruling.
US President Donald Trump has signed two executive decrees aimed at restricting birthright citizenship and curbing foreign visitors traveling to the United States to give birth. The directives target the practice often referred to as "birth tourism" by tightening entry conditions for pregnant foreign nationals.
The executive action comes five weeks after the US Supreme Court rejected an earlier attempt by the administration to limit constitutional protections granted under the 14th Amendment. Speaking after the signing, Trump stated that he intended to make "adjustments" to address legal loopholes following the judicial ruling. Opponents and legal experts expect the new orders to face immediate legal challenges in federal court.
