The U.S. Department of Justice has intensified its crackdown on alleged birth tourism, with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche calling it a "booming industry" following the Supreme Court's birthright citizenship ruling. The DOJ says it will prioritize investigations into visa fraud involving foreign nationals who allegedly travel to the U.S. primarily to give birth. According to the DOJ, federal prosecutors will work alongside the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations to target suspected birth tourism networks, with officials arguing that fraudulent visa applications and related offenses violate existing federal law.

The U.S. Justice Department prioritizes birth tourism investigations after the Supreme Court affirms birthright citizenship rights.

The Justice Department urged prosecutors to investigate 'birth tourism' after the Supreme Court ruled against Trump's citizenship restrictions.

In Trump v. Barbara, the court struck down an order that would have denied automatic citizenship to children born here to illegal immigrant parents.
