The day he returned to the White House in January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would redefine birthright citizenship. The order argues that children born in the United States are citizens only if they have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. Trump’s directive would mark a significant shift from how birthright citizenship has been applied for more than 150 years in the U.S., and it is currently being challenged in multiple federal courts.

Since returning to the White House on Jan. 20, President Donald Trump has focused many executive actions on immigration, including increased efforts to deport immigrants who are living in the United States illegally. About half of Americans (47%) say the administration is doing “about the right amount” on deportations, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. However, almost as many (44%) say the administration is doing “too much” to remove immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally.

Nearly three years into the war in Ukraine, President-elect Donald Trump has been promising a swift end to the conflict when he takes office. Americans’ views about U.S. support for Ukraine have shifted little in recent months, but there continue to be wide partisan differences, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted Nov. 12-17. Republicans are far more likely than Democrats to say the United States is providing too much support to Ukraine (42% vs. 13%).

Military veterans have long tended to affiliate with the Republican Party and support Republican candidates, and that remains the case today. About six-in-ten registered voters who say they have served in the U.S. military or military reserves (61%) support former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, while 37% back Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in early September. Veterans’ vote preferences are on par with past elections.
