What happened
President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday that seek to narrow birthright citizenship by excluding certain children born in the United States to foreign parents and by targeting so-called birth tourism. The orders follow the Supreme Court’s June 30 ruling that Trump’s earlier attempt to end birthright citizenship was unconstitutional. One order expands the categories of noncitizen parents whose U.S.-born children would not receive automatic citizenship. Legal challenges are expected because the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to people born on U.S. soil and subject to U.S. jurisdiction.
