# Trump signs fresh orders targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism 2026-08-07T05:33:55+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet US President Donald Trump has signed two executive orders targeting birth tourism and narrowing access to birthright citizenship, weeks after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier directive. One order seeks to deny entry for people travelling to the US to give birth, while the other lists children of foreign government employees, terrorist group members and some people acting for foreign governments as potentially ineligible for citizenship documents. The Fourteenth Amendment generally grants citizenship to people born in the US. Immigration lawyer Cyrus Mehta called the new measures unconstitutional, while the American Civil Liberties Union said they would face the same fate as Trump’s earlier order. Migration Policy Institute estimates put birth tourism at 22,000 to 26,000 births annually, against 9,600 births recorded in 2024 to mothers with foreign addresses. ## Coverage - nationalheraldindia.com - thefederal.com - news.abplive.com Tags: birth tourism, birthright citizenship, Donald Trump, Supreme Court, US immigration Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/trump-renews-birthright-citizenship-push-after-supreme-court-setback/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
