Trump Signs New Orders Targeting Birthright Citizenship. President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, despite the U.S. Supreme Court rejecting his previous attempt. The new orders focus on restricting what the administration describes as "birth tourism," where foreign nationals travel to the U.S. to give birth. The White House said the measures reinterpret narrow constitutional exceptions rather than revive the broader policy struck down by the Supreme Court. The orders also seek to limit citizenship rights for children born to foreign government employees and people classified as alien enemies. Trump said the orders were needed to stop people from exploiting birthright citizenship, calling birth tourism "a disgrace.” Legal experts and immigrant advocacy groups said the measures are likely to face immediate court challenges, with the ACLU predicting they will not survive legal scrutiny. Critics argue the executive orders attempt to bypass the Supreme Court's ruling that birthright citizenship is protected by the 14th Amendment. The Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment has long been interpreted as granting U.S. citizenship to nearly everyone born in the United States, with only limited exceptions.
