Donald Trump signed an order to end birthright citizenship, targeting children born in the US to non-citizen parents. This move affects over 5.4 million Indian-Americans. Children of Indian immigrants on work or student visas may no longer get automatic US citizenship. Families face uncertainty, longer green card waits, and legal challenges. The policy also targets “birth tourism” and restricts family reunification. Immigrant rights groups have sued the administration, citing constitutional violations. Experts argue the order faces legal hurdles as it challenges the 14th Amendment. The Indian community, a growing immigrant group in the US, faces major implications.
