Trump birthright citizenship order targets 150,000 newborns a year

The Trump administration's Inauguration Day executive order directing agencies to deny birthright citizenship documents targeted an estimated 150,000 newborns per year born to undocumented immigrant parents or parents on temporary visas. Federal agencies including USCIS, the State Department, and the Social Security Administration received instructions to cease issuing passports, Social Security numbers, and citizenship certificates to affected newborns. Civil rights organizations filed emergency injunctions within hours, and four federal courts halted the order within days.
