Trump Narrows Birthright Citizenship

Trump just signed two big executive orders that shake up birthright citizenship and target so-called "birth tourism," where foreign nationals travel to the U.S. specifically to give birth. He’s narrowing who qualifies for citizenship by birth, expanding exceptions to include certain foreign government workers and those linked to terrorist groups. This comes after the Supreme Court blocked his broader attempt to change citizenship rules, setting up a legal battle with the ACLU and immigrant rights groups who argue these moves overstep the Constitution.

But here’s the catch: experts say the actual number of babies born in these circumstances is much lower than Trump claims, and these orders won’t revoke citizenship retroactively. The real impact will be in how the government enforces these new rules — and whether courts let them stand. At the same time, Trump is shaking up his legal team, elevating insider Will Scharf to White House counsel to streamline legal defenses and push orders through even faster.

Meanwhile, Trump’s media company is launching a pricey new service selling rapid access to his social media posts — a move that could make millions from trading firms eager for early insights, but which critics say blurs the line between public policy and personal gain.
