The United States immigration authorities have been given the authority to arrest individuals at schools, churches, and hospitals following the Trump administration's reversal of policies that previously deemed these locations off-limits for enforcement. The policy change ends more than a decade of restrictions that protected these “sensitive areas.” The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, announced the change in a statement, emphasizing the importance of eliminating spaces where individuals could evade arrest. “Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest. “The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense,”  the statement said, as reported by the newsmen on Tuesday.

President Trump Signs Executive Order To End Birthright Citizenship

  The  47th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump on Monday, January 20, signed an executive order vowing to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., despite a broad legal consensus that the Constitution guarantees American citizenship to everyone born on U.S. soil. Trump’s order directs federal agencies to refuse to recognize U.S. citizenship for children born in the U.S. to mothers who are in the country illegally or there legally on visas, if the father is not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. The order would deny U.S. citizenship, including passports, to those children born in the U.S. starting 30 days from now, if at least one parent isn’t an American citizen or green card holder. The Supreme Court ruled more than a century ago that children born in the U.S. to foreign parents are U.S. citizens under the 14th Amendment. The only legally recognized exception applies when both parents are diplomats with immunity from U.S. laws. However, some lega...
