Trump targets birthright citizenship again with new executive orders
President Trump signed more executive orders aimed at curbing birthright citizenship in certain cases. CBS News' Aaron Navarro reports on the developments following the Supreme Court's decision on the president's previous executive actions.
President Trump has signed two new executive orders aimed at limiting birthright citizenship. The orders are a renewed attempt to challenge a provision of the US Constitution, despite the Supreme Court previously rejecting a similar effort.
The new directives seek to reinterpret historical exceptions to citizenship at birth and expand who is ineligible. According to the White House, the orders aim to curb "birth tourism," where pregnant foreigners travel to the US to give birth.
The administration claims the new orders fall outside the scope of the Supreme Court's previous ruling, which struck down Trump's earlier executive order as unconstitutional. A White House aide stated that "birth tourism" is now banned, effective immediately.
