Donald Trump, sworn in as the 47th U.S. president on January 20, has signed several executive orders, including withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement and WHO. Among these is an order targeting birthright citizenship, aiming to deny automatic U.S. citizenship to children born in the U.S. without at least one parent being a citizen or lawful resident. The move targets children of undocumented immigrants or those on temporary visas.
Barron Trump, born in Manhattan in 2006 to Melania, a lawful resident, remains unaffected. Birthright citizenship is protected by the 14th Amendment, making any attempt to revoke it, especially through executive order, likely to face strong judicial opposition.
