President Trump signed Executive Order 14418 on August 6, 2026, directing federal agencies to deny citizenship recognition to children born in the United States when neither parent is a citizen and the child falls into one of several defined categories: a parent is a member of a designated terrorist organization or an alien enemy; a parent is a foreign government employee or diplomat; a parent paid for "birth tourism" arrangements; or the child is born in a U.S. territory where citizenship is not granted by statute. The order is the administration's second attempt at restricting birthright citizenship. Its first effort, Executive Order 14160, was struck down by the Supreme Court on June 30, 2026, in Trump v. Barbara, which held that the Fourteenth Amendment guarantees citizenship to nearly all children born on U.S. soil regardless of parental immigration status. The new order is narrower and targets exceptions the Court's majority opinion acknowledged, such as the diplomatic exclusion. Civil rights groups have already challenged the order in federal court, and legal experts note that many of its provisions likely remain unconstitutional under the Barbara ruling. No court has yet ruled on its legality.
