The US State Department said that more than 6,000 visas held by foreign nationals have been revoked over the past three months as part of efforts to combat "birth tourism." According to the department, the visas belonged to people who took part in or facilitated the practice, and the working group was set up in early August 2026. US President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January 2025 restricting birthright citizenship.
