Allied groups of US President Donald Trump are pushing for new restrictions that would bar pregnant women from entering the United States, according to reports. The proposals are being advanced in response to a US Supreme Court decision that rejects efforts to limit birthright citizenship, a policy under which children born on US soil are granted citizenship. The articles say the current move targets the entry of pregnant people, aiming to prevent situations in which citizenship could be granted to newborns under the existing constitutional and legal framework.
The reports place the initiative in the context of ongoing attempts by Trump and supporters to reshape immigration-related citizenship outcomes after the court shut down a previous effort to restrict birthright citizenship. While the sources describe the push to enact the proposed ban, they do not provide details on when it would be implemented, which legislative or administrative mechanisms would be used, or how courts or immigration authorities would apply the measure. The reports also indicate the proposal is part of a broader political effort to counter the effects of the Supreme Court ruling.
