President Trump has signed new executive orders attempting to limit birthright citizenship, a constitutional right guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. These actions follow a recent Supreme Court decision that effectively upheld the existing law regarding birthright citizenship. NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor is providing fact-checking analysis regarding the president’s claims on the matter. Trump’s assertions surrounding birthright citizenship have been repeatedly challenged by legal experts. The executive orders seek to reinterpret existing laws to narrow the scope of who qualifies for citizenship at birth. This move is likely to face legal challenges, mirroring previous attempts by the administration to alter immigration policy. Alcindor’s reporting aims to clarify the factual basis – or lack thereof – for the president’s position.
