On January 27, 2025, Carson criticized Trump's intention to end birthright citizenship through an executive order.

He highlighted that overnight Trump had ordered a halt on federal grants and loans previously authorized by Congress. "I’m fighting this blatant overreach of presidential powers that threatens school lunches, disaster assistance, & small business loans in every corner of our country," he asserted.
