Despite the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding birthright citizenship, Trump is looking to push the issue as far as he can.
From the article:
The executive orders apply only to future births tied to four categories:
Children born of foreign diplomatic staff working on behalf of another government while in the U.S. The 14th Amendment doesn't confer automatic citizenship to ambassadors' families, and this order would expand that category to other noncitizen employees.
Children of people who are classified as alien enemies, including those who belong to federally declared terrorist groups. The 14th Amendment doesn't apply to invading armies, and this designation would expand that category.
Those born in U.S. territories — but only if Congress changes the law to end automatic citizenship there. A bill seeking to do that was introduced last month but isn't expected to pass. This would apply most notably to those in Puerto Rico.
Children born of mothers who expressly and deceptively enter the U.S. for the sole purpose of having a child here, namely at a birth-tourism center. The order seeks to limit the use of surrogate mothers for this purpose as well.

Guess he needed a new horror to distract us from Iran
Scotus wouldn’t overturn the 14th so he’s just trying to do it by executive order again
The only people who Trump hates more than Americans is future Americans.
They’re gonna apply #2 if the parents have JD Vance memes on their phones.
2 seems pretty dubious of who gets designated as “belong”ing to a terrorist organization.
How is 4 not just a rehashing of the Supreme Court case earlier this year?
