U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services

President Trump is once again attempting to put restrictions on who is automatically guaranteed citizenship after being born in the U.S., just weeks after the Supreme Court struck down his attempt to end birthright citizenship.

Immigration attorneys have expressed concerns the executive order could force health providers to determine the legal status of pregnant women before providing care, potentially endangering their lives and those of their unborn children.

The decision focused specifically on Haitian and Syrian immigrants, but legal experts say it could apply to as many as 1.3 million immigrants in the U.S. on TPS, including those in Texas.

By a 6-3 vote, the high court ruled that federal law allows the government to stop asylum seekers from physically setting foot in the United States, effectively keeping them from applying for asylum.

Tuesday's ruling reinstates the immigration status of those who came via CBP One and whose status was terminated.

The majority seemed skeptical of the Trump administration's argument on birthright citizenship, appearing ready to rule in favor of upholding automatic citizenship for babies born on U.S. soil.

At issue is President Trump's challenge to a constitutional provision that has long been interpreted to guarantee American citizenship to every child born in the United States.

Officials approved the change after hearing from speakers who argued it would hamper the state’s economy and push immigrants to work without licenses in the black market.

Last month, Gov. Greg Abbott announced a freeze on H-1B visas for public universities and state agencies — just a few months after the Trump administration increased the application fee from $5,000 to $100,000. Texas health care leaders warn changes could have a negative impact on the state's health care workforce.

The 1.6 million number marks the largest-ever effort to strip permissions for immigrants who attempted to migrate to the country through legal means, advocates say.

More immigrants are not showing up for their mandatory immigration court hearings compared to prior years, an NPR analysis shows, allowing the government to order their immediate deportation.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement submitted a status report in an ongoing federal civil lawsuit aimed at protecting children. The federal agency reported that about 400 children were held for longer than the recommended 20-day limit in August and September.
