President Trump is seeking to end birthright citizenship in the United States. What is it, which other countries apply the policy and who would be affected by the order?

U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin pressed the government about long-standing U.S. Supreme Court precedent that the 14th Amendment ensures citizenship for anyone born in the United States.

The Justice Department argued that the 14th amendment has been misinterpreted by the Supreme Court and doesn’t grant birthright citizenship to children of people who are unlawfully present.
