From ending birthright citizenship to declaring an emergency at the southern border, Trump signed several orders restricting immigration.

President Donald Trump has signed a flurry of executive actions on Day 1. He has repealed dozens of former President Joe Biden’s actions, begun his immigration crackdown, withdrawn the U.S. from the Paris climate accords and sought to keep TikTok open in the U.

Mr. Trump is planning to attempt to deny birthright citizenship to the children of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally, according to the incoming officials. The U.S. government has long interpreted the U.S. Constitution to mean that those born on American soil are citizens at birth, regardless of their parents' immigration status.

President Donald Trump moved to end a decades-old immigration policy known as birthright citizenship when he ordered the cancellation of the constitutional guarantee that U.S.-born children are citizens regardless of their parents’ status.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s bid to restrict birthright citizenship could have significant repercussions for Texas and other border states that have large numbers of immigrants in the country legally and illegally.
