JUST IN: Judge Declines to Block Trump’s Executive Order Ending Birth Tourism

A federal judge has declined to immediately block President Trump’s executive order aimed at ending “birth tourism,” a practice where foreign nationals travel to the U.S. to give birth. The order defines birth tourism as entering the U.S. on a nonimmigrant visa for the purpose of giving birth on American soil. This decision allows the administration to continue implementing measures to prevent such practices, which are described as exploiting immigration laws.
