Trump Signs Executive Order 14419 to End Birth Tourism, Empowering State and Homeland Security to Deny and Revoke Visas
On August 6, 2026, the White House issued Executive Order 14419, "Ending Birth Tourism." The order defines birth tourism as two kinds of conduct: entering the United States on a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on U.S. soil, and facilitating such entry.
The order delegates authority under section 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security, and lists enforcement measures that may be taken, including preventing entry or visa issuance, revoking visas and permanently barring entry, denial of entry or removal, and action against entities and individuals who facilitate such travel.
The order also provides exemptions on humanitarian grounds or in the national interest.
