President Trump Signs Executive Orders Targeting Birthright Citizenship
President Trump announced the signing of two new executive orders aimed at ending birthright citizenship in the United States. The orders seek to redefine the legal interpretation of the 14th Amendment regarding children born to non-citizen parents on U.S. soil. This move is expected to face immediate and significant legal challenges in federal courts. The administration argues the policy is necessary for national security and immigration control, while critics denounce it as unconstitutional.
