Trump signs 2 orders to revive limits on birthright citizenship
What's next: the moves are likely to face immediate legal challenges after the Supreme Court rejected Trump's earlier effort in June.
President Donald Trump signed two immigration executive actions Thursday, including a new bid to narrow who can claim U.S. citizenship by birth and a second measure aimed at curbing so-called birth tourism. Trump did not provide detailed terms, but said one order would reduce the number of people born in the United States who qualify as citizens and the other would tighten visa restrictions for visitors seeking to give birth in the country. The move revives a legal fight over the 14th Amendment after the Supreme Court in June rejected Trump's earlier attempt to exclude children born to people in the U.S. illegally or temporarily. That first order, signed on the opening day of his second term, was blocked by lower courts and never took effect.
