The court said Trump's earlier effort to restrict birthright citizenship was unconstitutional. The categories, Trump's order said, "do not fall within the rule of birthright citizenship as announced by the Supreme Court". People who engage in birth tourism schemes could be prosecuted for fraud or other related crimes.
