Indian couples in the US are seeking preterm C-sections to ensure their children receive citizenship before February 20, when President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship takes effect. Doctors have reported a surge in requests for early deliveries, with some women in their seventh month seeking procedures. Medical experts warn about the significant risks of preterm births, including low birth weight and underdeveloped lungs. For many, this move reflects fears of uncertainty as thousands of Indians on temporary visas await green cards. Families say the decision is driven by desperation to secure stability and the "American Dream."
