THE BRIEF

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on August 6 aimed at restricting birthright citizenship for children born to non-resident foreign nationals.

The policy targets 'birth tourism' by requiring at least one parent to be a US citizen or legal permanent resident for the child to automatically receive citizenship.

Legal experts anticipate immediate challenges in federal courts, as the order seeks to reinterpret the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution.
