CITIZENSHIP NOT THE ONLY SCARE FOR PRETERM BABIES IN US
The Business Guardian
|January 25, 2025
As President Trump's executive order on U.S. citizenship takes effect, preterm births among NRI expectant mothers are rising significantly.

Recent developments in U.S. immigration policy have led to significant concerns among expectant parents, particularly within the Indian community residing in the United States. On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order aiming to end automatic citizenship for children born in the U.S. to non-permanent residents. This policy was set to take effect on February 20, 2025.
In response, there has been a notable increase in requests for preterm caesarean section (C-section) deliveries among Indian women in the U.S., especially in states like New Jersey. These expectant mothers are seeking to ensure their children are born before the policy's implementation date to secure U.S. citizenship for them.
However, medical professionals have expressed concerns about the health implications of elective preterm deliveries. Preterm births can pose significant health risks for newborns, including respiratory issues, developmental delays, and increased susceptibility to infections. Obstetricians are advising against scheduling early deliveries solely for the purpose of securing citizenship, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing the health and well-being of both mother and child.
It's important to note that on January 23, 2025, a federal judge in Seattle temporarily blocked President Trump's executive order, citing potential violations of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause. This ruling prevents the policy's enforcement for 14 days while further legal arguments are considered. The Justice Department has indicated plans to appeal the decision.
Given the evolving legal situation and the health risks associated with preterm deliveries, expectant parents are encouraged to consult with their healthcare providers and stay informed about the latest developments in immigration policy.
