President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Friday significantly limiting eligibility for birthright citizenship in the United States, according to reports. The orders are said to rely on the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the matter.
The move comes weeks after the Supreme Court struck down a previous Trump executive order on birthright citizenship on June 30, in a 5-4 decision. Following that ruling, Trump called on Congress to pass legislation ending birthright citizenship, and later signaled that his administration would seek a rehearing.
The new orders represent a renewed executive effort to restrict birthright citizenship, despite the court’s rejection of his earlier attempt. Details of the orders’ specific provisions and the legal rationale citing the Supreme Court ruling have not yet been released.
