Trump issues new executive orders aimed at birthright citizenship after Supreme Court ruling

Key Points:

• President Trump signed two new executive orders aiming to restrict birthright citizenship, targeting commercial "birth tourism" and expanding categories of ineligible children, following the Supreme Court's rejection of his earlier order.
• One order seeks to deny citizenship to children born to foreign nationals involved in commercial birth tourism, foreign government employees, and members of terrorist groups, while maintaining citizenship for those with at least one U.S. citizen parent.
• The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump's initial executive order on birthright citizenship was unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to all born or naturalized in the U.S.
• The American Civil Liberties Union condemned the new orders, asserting they will also fail in court as the Constitution guarantees birthright citizenship and cannot be altered by executive order.
• During Supreme Court oral arguments, justices acknowledged concerns about birth tourism but affirmed that constitutional interpretation remains unchanged despite modern global mobility.
