A new proposed U.S. rule could significantly impact Kenyan parents applying for U.S. passports for their children, requiring them to prove their own citizenship or immigration status.

• The U.S. State Department is proposing stricter requirements for children applying for U.S. passports, demanding evidence of parental citizenship or immigration status.
• This initiative is part of President Donald Trump's broader effort to curb "birth tourism."
• The rule could introduce extra scrutiny for Kenyans residing in the U.S. without permanent residency, though the final decision rests with the U.S. Supreme Court.
