President Donald Trump signed two executive orders aimed at birthright citizenship and so-called “birth tourism,” marking the administration’s latest effort to reshape U.S. immigration policy.
One order seeks to expand the categories of people who are ineligible for birthright citizenship, while the other targets pregnant women who travel to the United States on tourist visas to give birth. The White House says the measures are intended to prevent abuse of the immigration system, but officials have not yet explained how the policies will be enforced. The administration also argues the orders are consistent with existing immigration law despite a recent Supreme Court ruling reaffirming birthright citizenship for most people born in the United States.
Watch for the latest details on what the executive orders do, the legal questions they raise and what could happen next.
