Trump signs orders restricting birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants
Aug 7, 2026
President Trump signed two executive orders Thursday targeting birthright citizenship, seeking to expand categories of children ineligible for automatic U.S. citizenship and ban "birth tourism." The orders come weeks after the Supreme Court rejected Trump's initial, broader attempt to deny citizenship to children born to undocumented immigrants and temporary foreign residents. The directives are expected to face legal challenges.
