Rep. Brandon Gill, a Texas Republican who chairs the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses, has said companies that help foreign nationals travel to the United States specifically to give birth—so their children automatically acquire US citizenship—may be engaged in a criminal conspiracy. The intervention marks an expansion of the Trump administration's wider immigration crackdown, extending scrutiny beyond individual migrants to the commercial "birth tourism" industry that facilitates such trips.

Gill told Fox News Digital that his task force has issued subpoenas to several companies believed to be involved in organising these trips, as part of an effort to investigate and potentially dismantle the practice. He framed the crackdown as part of a broader push to close perceived loopholes in the US immigration system, arguing that Americans want firmer enforcement against schemes seen as exploiting citizenship laws.
