Executive Order 14419: Ending Birth Tourism

Executive Order 14419 establishes a federal policy to combat birth tourism and prevent the misuse of nonimmigrant visas by foreign nationals entering the United States for the purpose of giving birth. The order directs the Departments of State and Homeland Security to update rules, policies, and operational guidance and authorizes actions that may include visa denials or revocations, entry restrictions, removal, and measures against individuals or organizations that facilitate birth tourism. It also requires relevant federal agencies to share information needed for implementation while allowing exemptions on humanitarian or national-interest grounds.
