Trump's New Executive Order Requires Proof of Citizenship for Child Passports

President Trump signed an executive order requiring parents to prove their citizenship or immigration status when applying for passports for their children.
This order targets 'birth tourism' and narrows the criteria for birthright citizenship, following a Supreme Court ruling against a previous attempt.
The State Department's draft guidance outlines how this order could be implemented, potentially affecting many families.
Legal challenges are anticipated as lawsuits are already being filed against the enforcement of this order.
