  "account": "President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Thursday in an attempt to restrict birthright citizenship, despite the Supreme Court's rejection of his previous attempt. Limiting birthright citizenship has been a priority for the Republican president, who has targeted what the White House calls \"birth tourism\" - pregnant foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. to give birth. Following a setback at the Supreme Court on June 30, Trump called for Congress to act, but opted for executive orders on Thursday. These orders set policy but lack the weight of laws passed by Congress.",
  "summary": "Limiting birthright citizenship has been one of the top priorities in the Republican president's crackdown on immigration.",
