Texas AG shuts down Houston birth tourism network tied to 1,000+ Chinese births

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the permanent closure of the De'Ai Postpartum Care Center, a Houston-area network accused of facilitating birth tourism for Chinese citizens to obtain U.S. citizenship. The company agreed to cease operations at four properties following a state lawsuit alleging commercial violations and immigration control evasion. This marks a notable enforcement action against a practice that has been a target of U.S. immigration policy debates.
