President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on August 6, 2026, aimed at addressing birthright citizenship and birth tourism following a Supreme Court ruling that blocked a previous executive order. Trump stated that the administration is adjusting its approach, describing the situation as unfair. The new directives are intended to narrow eligibility for automatic citizenship and target foreigners who travel to the U.S. to give birth. White House officials indicated that the first order expands categories of individuals deemed ineligible for birthright citizenship, while the second order seeks to ban birth tourism by denying visas to those intending to enter the U.S. for the purpose of giving birth. White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller characterized birth tourism as fraudulent and emphasized that the administration will enforce these orders through visa denials and law enforcement. The text of the executive orders had not been released at the time of publication.
