  "account": "The White House recently confirmed the implementation of President Donald Trump's executive order targeting \"birth tourism,\" a practice where foreign nationals travel to the United States with the intention of giving birth to obtain US citizenship for their child, according to Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller. The order, signed by Trump, aims to ban foreign nationals from obtaining visas for this fraudulent purpose. Miller emphasized that the measure ranks among the most significant actions taken by the Trump administration, stating it would effectively end one of the \"gravest and most egregious abuses of the American system.\"",
  "summary": "The White House has reiterated President Donald Trump's executive order targeting \"birth tourism,\" a practice in which foreign nationals travel to the United States with the intention of giving birth so their child can obtain U.S. citizenship. Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser Stephen Miller stated that this practice is now banned, emphasizing that it marks one of the administration's most significant actions. The orders came after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Trump's earlier attempt to end birthright citizenship through an executive order. The administration plans to distinguish between tourists and \"birth tourists\" by relying on provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act.",
