The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump signed two executive orders Thursday that seek to narrow birthright citizenship by excluding certain children born in the United States to foreign parents and by targeting so-called birth tourism. The orders follow the Supreme Court’s June 30 ruling that Trump’s earlier attempt to end birthright citizenship was unconstitutional. One order expands the categories of noncitizen parents whose U.S.-born children would not receive automatic citizenship. Legal challenges are expected because the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to people born on U.S. soil and subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

Unlawful MAGA attackLeans Left

Trump’s bid to limit birthright citizenship is a legally weak or unconstitutional attack on rights protected by the 14th Amendment and the Supreme Court. It is driven by anti-immigrant MAGA politics, executive overreach, or refusal to accept rulings he dislikes.

Correcting citizenship excessLeans Right

Trump’s orders are a justified response to a Supreme Court error that wrongly expanded birthright citizenship. Tightening enforcement protects the value of American citizenship and reins in the damage from that ruling.
