Trump's narrowed birthright orders face court battles after Supreme Court setback

After the Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship ruling, Trump issued two narrower executive orders aimed at limiting citizenship for children born to noncitizens and at curbing birth tourism. The first directs agencies to withhold citizenship documents for certain children whose parents aren’t U.S. citizens, including some tied to foreign governments or terrorist organizations; the second targets visas and removal actions for individuals believed to be in the U.S. primarily to give birth. Legal experts are divided: conservatives say the measures hinge on longstanding exceptions and executive power, while opponents warn they could be unconstitutional and raise standing issues. Litigation and injunctions are already underway, with the orders set to take effect Sept. 6, and possible paths via Congress or a constitutional amendment if challenged succeed.
