Trump wants to restrict "birth tourism" with new passport rules

The U.S. Department of State plans to require parents applying for passports for their children born in the United States to provide proof of their own citizenship or immigration status. This proposal, outlined in a draft from Friday, is part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to restrict birthright citizenship, targeting 'birth tourism.' Previously, parents needed only to prove parenthood and present a photo ID, such as a driver’s license. The new rules would deny automatic citizenship to children if a parent works for a foreign government in the U.S., commits fraud, or is classified as a 'hostile alien.' Legal challenges have already been filed against this measure, and a judge expressed skepticism during a hearing. A previous broader attempt by Trump was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
