Florence Balogun gave birth to Folarin Balogun in New York in 2001 after being denied a flight to London due to her pregnancy. Folarin, a U.S. citizen by birth, became a key player for the American soccer team at the World Cup, scoring two goals in a 4-1 victory over Paraguay. His success has highlighted the U.S. birthright citizenship debate, with President Donald Trump's executive order to end the policy currently under Supreme Court review.
