Donald Trump Signs Order To End Birthright Citizenship
Moments after taking oath as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders.
These orders included the US' withdrawal from the Paris ꦺAgreement 2015 and the World Health Organisation, establishing only two genders - male and female - and ending birthright citizenship.
🉐While Trump's order states that anyone born within 30 days of him signing the order will no longer be eligible for birthright citizenship, the implementation of the order is expected to face a long legal battle, with possible intervention from the Supreme Court.
