According to research by the Migration Policy Institute and Pennsylvania State University's Population Research Institute, Trump's birthright-citizenship executive order would have affected more than one-quarter of a million babies born in the United States each year.
Notes on verification
Multiple independent outlets (PBS, CBS, WBHM) and the original research organizations (MPI, Penn State) corroborate the figure of roughly 255,000 babies annually, consistent with the 'more than one-quarter of a million' framing. [tier=silver indep_score=0.875 clusters=2 claim_tier=notable]
