Donald Trump signed an executive order in January 2025 attempting to restrict or end birthright citizenship in the United States for children born to non-citizen and non-permanent resident parents, but the order has been blocked by federal courts and is not in effect as of August 2025[1][2][3].
In summary: Trump’s order to restrict birthright citizenship is blocked by the courts and has no effect as of August 2025, with the U.S. legal consensus still strongly upholding automatic citizenship for those born on American soil[3][5].
in 2025 shows that a majority of Americans oppose ending birthright citizenship, with about two-thirds supporting its continuation for all children born in the United States, regardless of their parents’ immigration status[1][2][3].
