“This was done for a different reason. This was done right after the Civil War. This was forthe babies of slaves, and what’s happening now? People are building businesses around it,” he added.

The White House explained:

The first Executive Order non-exhaustively identifies certain categories of children of aliens who are not entitled to birthright citizenship consistent with historical exceptions to birthright citizenship recognized by the Supreme Court in Barbara.

The second Executive Order delegates presidential authorities to the Secretary of State and Secretary of Homeland Security and directs them to halt the practice of birth tourism.

Trump Admin Taps Surprising New Partner To Combat Illegal Immigration

The Trump administration reported the single largest month for arrests by ICE in July, but now, its efforts are moving beyond the border and into community banks.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent traveled to Arizona on Thursday to tell lenders to view credit applications under an increasingly scrutinized lens.

“This administration will not tolerate blatant abuse of our financial system, nor will it permit risks posed by the extension of financial services to illegal aliens,” Bessent told the bankers.

He was careful to frame the ask as part of the bankers’ ordinary duties rather than an expansion into border enforcement.

“We do not ask bankers to assume the burdens of border enforcement,” Bessent said. “But we depend on banks to do what you do best: know your customers, identify risks as they arise, and report suspicious patterns before they metastasize into criminal schemes.”

The administration is pushing the banks to view lending money to undocumented immigrants as an added risk. The administration outlined concerns, such as the possibility of deportation and termination after an employer discovers the employee doesn’t have a valid work authorization. The guidance does not carry the force of law, however, as banks are not prohibited from offering accounts or loans to illegal immigrants.

Bessent argued that Arizona carries particular weight in the effort, telling the bankers the state “remains uniquely exposed to the aftershocks of Biden’s border crisis, including cartels and criminal organizations that seek to conceal illicit proceeds within legitimate channels.” He made similar remarks in Texas, given its proximity to the southern border.

Iran’s Top Nuclear Negotiator Mocks Trump

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the head of Iran’s negotiating team, criticized President Donald Trump’s approach toward Tehran, accusing the administration of cycling between military threats and diplomacy.

In a post on X, Ghalibaf mocked Trump’s recent messaging, writing, “Massive attack coming... wait, never mind, they want to negotiate,” before describing the approach as “theater diplomacy on loop.”

He argued that relying on what he called “bullying,” “broken promises,” and “fake news” as leverage has failed, urging the United States to “acknowledge the facts and fulfill your commitments,” rather than continuing what he characterized as political theater.

President Donald Trump said Thursday he is encouraged by negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz but stopped short of declaring that a final agreement has been reached.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office, Trump said the strait is “sort of open right now,” arguing that the United States effectively controls the strategic waterway while cautioning that threats such as naval mines or isolated attacks could still disrupt commercial shipping.

“We control it, but they can always shoot something, they always have something, or drop a mine, and if you have one mine out there you sort of mess things up, because people don’t want to take their billion-dollar boats and accidentally get hit by a mine, but I think we’re doing very well,” Trump said.

Autism providers cheer Trump crackdown after millions allegedly stolen from children through Medicaid fraud

American autism care providers are backing the Trump administration’s crackdown on Medicaid fraud, arguing that the alleged theft of millions of federal funds has hurt both taxpayers and children with autism who rely on those services.

A coalition of autism clinicians, behavioral therapists and families of children with autism are speaking out in favor of the administration’s efforts to hold people accountable for the suspected exploitation of the Medicaid system.

The group the Autism Families Alliance describes itself as a national advocacy organization dedicated to supporting Applied Behavior Analysis providers and the families who rely on their services. It aims to ensure that every child and family has access to high-quality care without unnecessary barriers, reduced access or funding cuts.

“President Trump and the administration are right: fraud is unacceptable and those responsible should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Sanders added.

The group argues that every dollar allegedly stolen by fraudsters should have been used to help a child with autism learn to communicate, gain independence and receive the care they need.

The members strongly support eliminating fraud and prosecuting suspected criminals, but they also fear that broad federal and state efforts to root out fraud could unintentionally make it more difficult for legitimate providers to care for children with autism.

Some states, including Georgia, North Carolina and Indiana, have taken steps to enhance oversight of autism services.

But the coalition is calling on policymakers to ensure fraudsters are removed from the system without creating what they describe as unnecessary barriers for families of vulnerable children seeking care.
