Trump Administration Issues New Executive Orders to Limit Birthright Citizenship and Target 'Birth Tourism'

President Donald Trump issued two new executive orders on August 6, 2026, aimed at limiting birthright citizenship and targeting "birth tourism," weeks after a Supreme Court decision struck down a previous attempt to restrict automatic citizenship. The orders seek to exclude children born to foreign government employees, those classified as "alien enemies," and individuals involved in "birth tourism" from automatic U.S. citizenship.
