Trump Signs Executive Order 14418 Defining Categories Outside Birthright Citizenship
On August 6, 2026, President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order 14418, "Continuing to Protect the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," in Washington. According to the order, it builds on the Supreme Court's June 30, 2026 decision in Trump v. Barbara and identifies, non-exhaustively, categories of children who do not fall within the rule of birthright citizenship as announced by the Court.
Under the order's policy, no executive department or agency shall issue documents recognizing U.S. citizenship to, or accept documents purporting to recognize citizenship of, a person when neither parent is a citizen and any of the following applies: either parent is an alien enemy, including a member of a designated foreign terrorist organization; either parent is a foreign government employee, including ambassadors, embassy or consulate employees who are nationals of that country, persons employed by a foreign government in an official capacity, and persons with international-organization immunity; either parent engaged in a commercial transaction to purchase or access birthright citizenship, including arranging for the mother or a surrogate to give birth in the United States; or the person is born in a U.S. territory or territorial waters where citizenship is not conferred by federal statute.
The Secretary of State, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Commissioner of Social Security are directed to align their regulations and policies with the order, and agency heads must issue public guidance within 30 days. The costs of publication are borne by the Department of Justice.
