United States President Donald Trump has signed two new executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship, renewing his administration’s push to tighten citizenship rules despite a recent Supreme Court ruling that blocked an earlier attempt. One of the executive orders broadens the definition of non-citizens whose US-born children would not be eligible for automatic citizenship. Birthright citizenship in territories such as Puerto Rico is currently protected under federal law. AdvertisementThe President’s latest move follows the Supreme Court’s June 30 decision rejecting his earlier executive order on birthright citizenship. The new executive orders are expected to trigger another round of legal challenges, with opponents arguing that any attempt to restrict birthright citizenship through executive action conflicts with constitutional protections.
