Read original story ↗The Supreme Court rejected Trump's first birthright-citizenship order on June 30, holding that children born in the United States to parents here unlawfully or temporarily are citizens at birth. Trump's August 6 order then targeted narrower categories, including children of certain foreign-government employees and parents accused of buying access to citizenship. The order shows what he directed, not that those restrictions survived later litigation.
