Fact Check: Trump’s birthright citizenship ban will not affect his children

https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/trumps-birthright-citizenship-ban-will-not-affect-his-children-2024-12-19/

All five of President-elect Donald Trump’s children fulfill two criteria for automatic U.S. citizenship - they were born to at least one U.S.-citizen parent and they were born in the United States - so they would not lose citizenship, as social media posts suggest, if Trump does away with so-called birthright citizenship, as he has promised to do.

Alongside pictures of four of Trump’s five children - Barron, Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric - posts on social media say, opens new tab: “Trump’s plan to end birthright citizenship would mean 4 of his children wouldn't be considered U.S. citizens: Don Jr - born in 1977. Ivanka - born in 1981. Eric - born in 1984. Ivana - became a U.S. citizen in 1988. Barron - born in March 2006. Melania - became a U.S. citizen in July 2006.”

Trump, who ran his presidential campaign on border reform and mass deportations, is expected to roll out his immigration agenda and deport record numbers of illegal immigrants when he takes office on Jan. 20.

The social media posts followed an interview on Dec. 8 with NBC News' “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker,” in which Trump said he would take executive action to end birthright citizenship, which grants citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. regardless of the status of their parents.
