Trump Signs Orders Limiting Birthright Citizenship

14のソース Mediumセンセーショナリズム
  • On 6 August 2026, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship and targeting 'birth tourism'.
  • The orders come after the Supreme Court ruled on 30 June 2026 that Trump's previous attempt to end birthright citizenship was unconstitutional.
  • The new orders expand the definition of individuals whose children are not eligible for US birthright citizenship, specifically targeting pregnant visitors.
  • These measures are expected to take effect immediately, with enforcement likely handled by the Department of Homeland Security.
