Passport Rules Target Birth Tourism | Spokane News

This follows a previous Trump-era order blocked by the Supreme Court for violating the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment. The new draft focuses on specific cases like fraud or alien enemies, demanding actual documents instead of just a citizenship checkbox. Lawyers are already suing to stop it, arguing it’s premature and unfair — while the Justice Department insists legal action is too early.
