'Birthright citizenship is unconstitutional' says White House Press Secretary
Karoline Leavitt Defends Trump's Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship
In Washington DC, Karoline Leavitt, the youngest White House Press Secretary, held her first briefing. She defended President Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship, which grants automatic citizenship to anyone born in the US. Leavitt stated that the administration believes this practice is unconstitutional and plans to challenge it in the Supreme Court. The order targets children of migrants born after February 19, whose parents are in the US illegally or on temporary visas.
Leavitt also addressed the issue of illegal immigration, highlighting recent ICE arrests of 3,500 individuals, all considered criminals by the administration for breaking immigration laws. She emphasized a cultural shift in viewing illegal entry as a criminal act.
Additionally, Leavitt confirmed that the administration plans to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and potentially China starting February 1. These tariffs will affect foreign-manufactured semiconductors, computer chips, and pharmaceuticals to encourage domestic manufacturing.
