President Trump Issues New Executive Orders to Restrict Birthright Citizenship and End Birth Tourism

President Donald J. Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday, August 6, 2026, in a renewed effort to limit birthright citizenship and combat 'birth tourism.' This action follows a June 2026 Supreme Court ruling that rejected his previous executive order on birthright citizenship. The new orders aim to expand definitions of those ineligible for automatic citizenship, such as children of foreign citizens lobbying for foreign governments, and to halt the practice of birth tourism.
