The US State Department proposed requiring parents to prove their own citizenship or immigration status when applying for passports for their children, according to Reuters reporting on draft guidance. ^[1] The US Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that a previous executive order attempting to limit birthright citizenship violated the Citizenship Clause of the Constitution's 14th Amendment. ^[2] In July 2025, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman of the District of Maryland preliminarily enjoined enforcement of provisions in President Donald Trump's executive orders that sought to restrict birthright citizenship for children of foreign government employees, mothers accused of lying about travel intentions, parents accused of terrorism, and newborns in U.S. territories. ^[3] The U.S. Supreme Court in June 2025 ruled in a divided decision that children born in the United States to parents who are 'unlawfully or temporarily present' are 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States and therefore citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment. ^[4] On Wednesday, a US federal judge blocked President Donald Trump's latest executive order attempting to limit birthright citizenship. ^[5] U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday blocking the Trump administration from enforcing its latest executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship. ^[6] Judge Deborah Boardman ruled that the latest policy was likely unconstitutional, citing the Supreme Court's August ruling against Trump's earlier attempt to restrict birthright citizenship. ^[7] The court ruled that the new executive orders likely violate the Constitution, noting that the Supreme Court has already determined children born in the US are citizens from birth. ^[8] President Donald Trump's August 6 executive order targets 'birth tourism' and restricts birthright citizenship, prompting the State Department's new proposal. ^[9] Under the proposed guidance, US citizen parents would need to provide proof such as a valid US passport or birth certificate, while non-citizen parents would need to submit documents showing immigration status like an I-94 form or a lawful permanent resident card. ^[10] State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott stated that President Trump has been unequivocal that the Administration will protect the meaning and value of American citizenship. ^[11] This proposal is part of President Donald Trump's effort to limit birthright citizenship and enforce his August 6 executive order targeting 'birth tourism'. ^[12]
