State Department Identifies Multiple ‘Birth Tourism’ Networks Operating Overseas

There, the state sued De’Ai Postpartum Care Center in Houston for “exploiting birthright citizenship by unlawfully facilitating the invasion of Chinese nationals … for the sole purpose of giving birth.”

Birthright Citizenship Executive Order Faces Legal Challenges

The center stands accused of facilitating births of more than 1,000 babies, who become American citizens immediately.

President Donald Trump quickly signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship after taking office in January 2025.

However, the order has faced multiple legal challenges and has been repeatedly paused as a result. The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling on the order in late June or early July.
