19.924 - 35.168 Lakshmi Singh

On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an order withholding citizenship from babies born to non-U.S. citizens in the country illegally or on a temporary visa. The White House says such situations should not be covered by the 14th Amendment, which grants citizenship to people born in the country. Ohio State Law Professor Cesar Guatemala Garcia Hernandez says it's a momentous case.

I will tell you, if they do have a problem, by the time we get there, we'll take care of that problem. We can solve that problem. I've proven that in D.C. and everywhere else we went, so we'll take care of that very easily.

During the ceremony at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Trump was awarded a newly created FIFA Peace Prize for brokering ceasefire agreements in Central Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The leaders of the other host countries, Canada and Mexico, were also in attendance. A new report from the Commerce Department shows inflation remains stubbornly high in September.
