The Supreme Court may have settled the legal issues on birthright citizenship, but the Trump administration says the ruling leaves room to find ways to prevent pregnant women — particularly "birth tourists" — from reaching U.S. soil to take advantage of the ruling.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the government can block women seeking to travel to the U.S. late in their pregnancies. He called it a matter of the baby's health and a national security concern.
