The Trump administration plans to crack down on networks that help pregnant women lie on visa applications to secure U.S. citizenship for their U.S.-born babies, an issue highlighted to justify attempts to restrict birthright citizenship.

The U.S. administration is targeting networks that assist pregnant women in obtaining U.S. citizenship for their babies, with immigration agents ordered to find these operations as part of a larger effort to restrict birthright citizenship.

Federal authorities in the U.S. have launched a new enforcement initiative targeting networks suspected of facilitating 'birth tourism', where foreign nationals travel to the US with the intention of giving birth so their children receive automatic citizenship.
