One of his boldest moves was an attempt to end birthright citizenship for those born to undocumented immigrants.
Birthright citizenship is protected by the U.S. Constitution, and the order already faces legal challenges.
Trump ordered agencies (starting 30 days after the order) not to recognize babies as citizens if their mothers were "unlawfully present" at the time of birth and their father was not a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident.
That also applies to children born to mothers who were lawful, temporary residents and fathers who were not citizens or lawful permanent residents.
