   2 outlets · first: dailymail.com Court decisions

   Machine summary The ACLU has filed a motion for a new injunction blocking President Trump's latest executive orders restricting birthright citizenship for children of diplomats and birth tourists. The filing argues the orders circumvent a 7-2 Supreme Court ruling that struck down an earlier, broader ban.

   1. Last week, Trump signed two new executive orders: one targeting children of foreign diplomats born in the U.S., and another restricting citizenship for children of individuals entering the country to give birth (“birth tourism”).
