Trump signs executive orders to restrict birthright citizenship
President Donald Trump has signed two new executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship, despite a June Supreme Court ruling that upheld the practice in a 6-3 decision. One order targets ‘birth tourism’ by seeking to deny access to the U.S. for certain individuals, while the second expands the categories of people ineligible for automatic citizenship, including children of diplomatic staff and those allegedly linked to terrorist organizations or foreign government lobbying.
Civil rights organizations, including the ACLU, Legal Defense Fund, Asian Law Caucus, and Democracy Defenders Fund, have filed a legal challenge in a New Hampshire federal court to contest the constitutionality of these orders. The administration maintains that the actions are consistent with previous judicial findings.
Separately, conservative legal groups have signaled an intent to make the challenge to birthright citizenship a long-term movement, viewing the issue as a central component of their broader immigration and sovereignty goals.
