Trump signs new executive orders targeting birthright citizenshipPresident Donald Trump is making another attempt to restrict birthright citizenship after losing a Supreme Court case over the issue in June. (NBC)- President Donald Trump is making another attempt to restrict birthright citizenship after losing a Supreme Court case over the issue in June. Trump signed two executive orders Thursday that take a narrower approach to limiting automatic U.S. citizenship for some children born in the United States to non-citizens. The new action follows a June Supreme Court decision that rejected Trump’s earlier attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, a right guaranteed under the 14th Amendment. Several civil rights organizations say they plan to challenge the latest executive orders in court.
