WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has issued two executive orders concerning birthright citizenship. These orders specifically target practices the administration refers to as “birth tourism.” These executive actions follow a previous attempt by the president to curtail birthright citizenship. The Supreme Court blocked that earlier effort. NBC News correspondent Garrett Haake reported on these developments for TODAY.
