AI Summary: This regulation identifies categories of children of aliens who may not be recognized as United States citizens, even if born in the United States, based on a recent Supreme Court decision clarifying birthright citizenship. It directs executive departments and agencies not to issue or accept documents recognizing U.S. citizenship for individuals where neither parent is a U.S. citizen and at least one of the following conditions applies: either parent is an alien enemy (defined as a member of a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization or a Specially Designated Global Terrorist), a foreign government employee (including ambassadors, embassy/consulate staff, or those with international organization immunity), or has engaged in a commercial transaction to obtain birthright citizenship for the child, such as arranging for the mother's presence in the U.S. to give birth or using a surrogate. The regulation also excludes individuals born in U.S. territories or territorial waters where citizenship is not conferred by federal statute. Heads of executive departments and agencies are required to issue guidance on implementation within 30 days.
