The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is considering new immigration measures that could prevent some pregnant women from entering the United States, according to the Telegraph Newspaper reports.
The proposal is said to be under review at the White House following a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that rejected the administration’s attempt to end automatic birthright citizenship for children born on American soil.
Officials are reportedly exploring whether tighter entry restrictions on pregnant travelers could help curb what critics describe as “birth tourism”—the practice of traveling to the United States to give birth so a child automatically acquires U.S. citizenship.
No final decision has been announced, and it remains unclear what legal framework such a policy would take or when it could be introduced if approved.
The reported review comes as the Trump administration continues to pursue broader immigration reforms, with birthright citizenship remaining one of its key policy priorities. Any move to restrict entry based on pregnancy would likely face significant legal and constitutional challenges if implemented.
