President Donald Trump has signed new executive orders aimed at restricting birthright citizenship in the United States. The measures challenge the long-standing constitutional principle under the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Supporters argue the move addresses immigration loopholes, while critics warn it undermines constitutional rights and could trigger extensive legal battles. Civil rights groups and legal scholars are preparing to contest the orders in court, framing them as a direct assault on established protections.
This development marks one of the most controversial immigration policy shifts in recent years, with potential implications for millions of families and the broader debate over national identity and constitutional interpretation.
