PeakMetrics research summary

Based on related reporting. This does not summarize the original publisher’s reasoning.

Related reporting describes the order as barring citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who entered illegally or who are living and working there legally with temporary visas. That reporting therefore indicates the order was not limited to children of people in the country illegally.[S3]
