A House Judiciary Committee panel on Wednesday will examine the Supreme Court’s recent decision on birthright citizenship and potential legislative responses to it. A majority of the justices ruled in June to uphold the 14th Amendment practice, citing the Constitution as clearly enshrining jus soli, Latin for “right of the soil.” Following the decision, President Trump signed fresh executive orders targeting birthright citizenship and “birth tourism.” The hearing is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EDT.
House Oversight Chairman James Comer has subpoenaed the founder of a South Florida company called "Have My Baby in Miami", a business that openly marketed U.S. citizenship to pregnant foreign nationals.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer has subpoenaed the founder of a South Florida company called "Have My Baby in Miami", a business that openly marketed U.S. citizenship to pregnant foreign nationals. Comer, a Kentucky Republican, sent the subpoena to Dr. Wladimir Lorentz on Tuesday after Lorentz's attorney refused to make him available for voluntary testimony. The attorney cited a pending criminal probe by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida as the reason Lorentz could not cooperate with the committee. Comer was unmoved. The subpoena orders Lorentz to appear at a September 1 congressional hearing on birth tourism, and the chairman's letter made clear that a federal investigation does not excuse a witness…Open
U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill ruled the state’s two anti-abortion laws violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment.
AI:A federal judge has struck down Idaho's restrictive anti-abortion statutes, ruling that the state cannot prosecute physicians for performing abortions deemed necessary to protect a patient's health. U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill ruled that these laws violate the due process and equal protection clauses of the 14th Amendment, effectively shielding medical providers from state prosecution under the guise of "health protections." This judicial decision creates a significant loophole in Idaho's pro-life legal framework by stripping local authorities of their power to enforce abortion bans when health concerns are cited, marking another instance of federal judicial activism overriding state sovereignty and existing life-protection…Open
The left has normalized large-scale unlawful migration; now the Court has detached citizenship from the concept of political allegiance. Without the Citizenship Act of 2026, membership in our constitutional community may remain a function of geography rather than law, consent, and reciprocal obligation. The post Primer: The Citizenship Act of 2026 and Ending Birthright Citizenship appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Background The Supreme Court had an opportunity to restore the Constitution’s original meaning on birthright citizenship and chose not to. The Constitution does not confer citizenship by birth on U.S. soil alone.1 The Center for Renewing America (CRA)’s core position on citizenship is correct: It requires lawful allegiance and membership in the national political community, not mere physical presence inside American territory.2 The court’s decision in Trump v. Barbara will go down as one of the most historically harmful decisions made by the Supreme Court of the United States. However, as CRA has articulated, the ruling has not exhausted the Constitution’s remedies.3 It merely shifts the fight to the branch that wrote the…Open
AI:The Supreme Court has failed to uphold the originalist intent of the Constitution by allowing birthright citizenship to be treated as a mere byproduct of geography rather than a formal act of legal allegiance. This judicial failure facilitates an era of normalized, large-scale unlawful migration that threatens the very foundation of our constitutional community. The proposed Citizenship Act of 2026 seeks to rectify this disaster, demanding that membership in the American polity be predicated on law and reciprocal obligation rather than simply being born on U.S. soil while violating our sovereign borders. Leftist media outlets continue to ignore the fundamental distinction between physical presence and legal citizenship, but this…Open
President Trump’s push to target "birth tourism" could run into a major constitutional roadblock. The Hill’s Zach Schonfeld and Sophie Brams break down why the 14th Amendment and the Supreme Court’s recent birthright citizenship ruling may not offer the opening the president needs. #presidenttrump #trump #birthtourism #supremecourt #scotus #14thamendment #birthrightcitizenship #scotusruling #thegavel
AI:President Trump's administration faces significant legal challenges in its ongoing battle to eliminate birth tourism due to constitutional obstacles surrounding the 14th Amendment. Despite recent efforts by the State Department and legislative pushes like the Citizenship Act of 2026, experts suggest that a Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship may not provide the necessary legal opening to bypass amendment protections against the current administration's immigration enforcement strategies.Open
The State Department's task force on birth tourism has revoked hundreds of visas, aligning with Trump administration efforts to curb abuses of U.S. citizenship laws.
The State Department’s task force on birth tourism has revoked hundreds of visas, aligning with Trump administration efforts to curb abuses of U.S. citizenship laws. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the State Department task force on “birth tourism” has already revoked over 600 visas on Wednesday. The task force targeted visa holders involved in networks exploiting U.S. citizenship laws by orchestrating schemes for foreign nationals to give birth in America, conferring automatic “birthright” citizenship on their children. DETAIL: The task force has been reviewing visa activity, dismantling illegal birth tourism rings, and seeking to address fraudulent practices like document forging…Open

President Trump signed two executive orders on August 6 targeting birthright citizenship and birth tourism, a narrower second attempt after the Supreme Court struck down his broader first order in June. The new orders zero in on specific categories of people the administration says should not receive automatic U.S. citizenship simply because they were born on American soil. One order restricts birthright citizenship for children born to adults connected to foreign embassies, members of foreign terrorist organizations, individuals who lobby on behalf of foreign governments, and anyone classified as an "alien enemy" of the United States. It also targets parents who "engaged in fraudulent activity to obtain citizenship." A second order…Open
