Ogles Unveils Birthright Citizenship Bill After Court Rejects Trump Order, Targeting Pregnant Nonimmigrants

Summary
Andy Ogles introduced the “Anchors Away Act” a day after the Supreme Court struck down Donald Trump’s order limiting birthright citizenship, calling the ruling a betrayal and pushing Congress to rewrite federal law.
The bill would narrow who is considered “subject to” U.S. jurisdiction at birth, requiring at least 1 parent to be a U.S. citizen or national, a lawful permanent resident, or a lawful-status service member.
It would also bar admission for a pregnant nonimmigrant who is unmarried to a U.S. citizen, while exempting people seeking legitimate childbirth-related medical treatment.
The fight centers on the 14th Amendment and existing law granting citizenship to people born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, which Trump’s 2025 executive order had tried to restrict.
