Mr. Trump is planning to attempt to deny birthright citizenship to the children of immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally, according to the incoming officials. The U.S. government has long interpreted the U.S. Constitution to mean that those born on American soil are citizens at birth, regardless of their parents' immigration status.

Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th US President and signed an order ending birthright citizenship for immigrant children, which immediately received constitutional challenges. The policy impacts Indians on temporary visas and has lawsuits filed by civil rights organizations such as the ACLU.
