Trump Revokes Birthright US Citizenship

US President Donald Trump has signed executive orders to end birthright citizenship for US-born children whose parents lack immigration status.

He also signed executive orders declaring illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border a national emergency, designating criminal cartels as terrorist organisations.

Trump also signed an order expected to suspend the US refugee resettlement program for four months, although the text of the orders was not immediately available.

The president has also ordered the quick end of a range of policies aimed at promoting racial equity and protecting rights for LGBTQ+ people.
