  "account": "The White House has announced that President Donald Trump's executive order targeting \"birth tourism\" has officially been implemented. Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller confirmed that the practice of foreign nationals traveling to the United States for the sole purpose of giving birth to obtain U.S. citizenship is now banned. Miller stated that no one in the world can obtain a visa for this fraudulent purpose. This measure is considered one of the most significant actions by the Trump administration, as it addresses a grave abuse of the American system. The practice, known as birth tourism, involves foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. with the intention of giving birth there to secure U.S. citizenship for their child. This development follows the Supreme Court's ruling that struck down Trump's earlier attempt to end birthright citizenship.",
