A Miami doctor and his business were at the center of a U.S. House task force hearing on Tuesday looking into what lawmakers said could be the exploitation of birthright citizenship. The business in question is Have My Baby in Miami, founded by its Chief Medical Officer Dr. Wladimir Lorentz. Lorentz’s clinic and four others in the U.S. are currently being investigated by the House Oversight Committee.

Brandon Gill, was seen showing paperwork with visuals that stated the company’s website advertised over 2,000 deliveries
