Trump signs orders to limit birthright citizenship
The Trump administration issued new executive orders that are causing legal controversy regarding the principle of acquiring U.S. citizenship by birth. These orders aim to expand the categories ineligible for automatic citizenship, including individuals from organizations deemed terrorist groups by the government, as well as children born in American territories outside the mainland or under special circumstances. This move is seen as an attempt to redefine the concept of citizenship and has been met with strong legal reactions from human rights organizations, which filed a lawsuit in the federal court in New Hampshire. Experts consider that these decisions contradict the Constitution and challenge principles previously affirmed by the Supreme Court, particularly since, in June, the Court upheld that the right to citizenship is based on the U.S. Constitution, not administrative rulings. The article explains that the orders also aim to counter what is called "birth tourism," making this a controversial step that could impact citizenship rights in the United States.
