Rubio promises changes in foreign policy under Trump’s “America First” philosophy

Marco Rubio was sworn in as secretary of state, the country’s chief diplomat and the highest-ranking position in the Cabinet, second only to the vice president and president. After a unanimous vote in the Senate, Marco Rubio defended his department’s employees but warned of changes coming under the Trump administration. Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony, Vice President JD Vance described Rubio as a “necessary change of course after a generation of failed foreign policy.” “He’s a bipartisan solution-seeker, a guy who can really get things done, but he’s a conservative with great principles and vision,” Vance said. “And I think more than anyone I’ve met in Washington in recent years, Senator Rubio, I think, understands President Trump’s distinctive priorities.” Thus, after taking the oath of office, Rubio said that “one of the main objectives of American foreign policy will be the promotion of peace.” “Of course, peace through strength, peace always without abandoning our values.”but I think it is extraordinary that it is something that needs to be said and that it has not been said enough in recent times,” added the new secretary. “As for the task before us, President Trump was elected to keep promises and he will keep them. And his main promise when it comes to foreign policy is that the State Department’s priority will be the United States. It will promote the national interests of this country. And he has given us a very clear mandate” “President Trump has made it very clear that everything we do must be justified by the answer to one of three questions: Does it make us stronger, does it make us safer, and does it make us more prosperous? If you don’t do one of those three things, we won’t do it. And that is the objective and that is the task, and that is the mission,” he concluded. Later, Rubio was received in the lobby of the State Department with applause from dozens of workers from this agency. Rubio once again reiterated his firm commitment to advancing Trump’s “America First” political platform, and warned that changes would occur in the State Department as a result. “There will be changes, but the changes do not have to be destructive. They do not have to be punitive,” anticipated the new head of US diplomacy. Rubio stated that the State Department needs to “act faster than ever because the world is changing faster than ever.” “It is an honor to lead this agency. I hope to do so with distinction and integrity, working harder than anyone in this position. And that will not be easy, because there have been very hard-working people before me,” he added.

Panama alerts the UN due to Washington’s threat over the canal

The Panamanian government expressed this Tuesday to the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, its concern about the statement by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, that he will seek to regain control of the Panama Canal. In a letter, distributed to the press byr the Panamanian Foreign Ministry, Panama’s permanent mission to the UN tells Guterres that Trump’s statements on Monday in his inauguration speech “are worrying.” “We request your good offices to transmit this communication to the 15 members of the United Nations Security Council,” of which Panama has been a part since January 1, stressed the letter, which summarizes Trump’s statements and the Panamanian government’s response. Trump reiterated in his speech on Monday what he had already said in recent weeks, that his government is going to “recover” the Panama Canal, under Panamanian sovereignty for 25 years, due to the alleged presence of China in the interoceanic waterway. “China operates the Panama Canal, and we didn’t give it to China, we gave it to Panama. And we are going to get it back,” Trump said. “The canal is and will continue to be Panama’s” The Panamanian president, José Raúl Mulino, responded that “the canal is and will continue to belong to Panama.” The Panama Canal, built by the United States and inaugurated in 1914, has this North American country and China as its two largest users.

They ask for calm before Trump’s order that denies birthright citizenship

Migrant leaders asked undocumented parents to remain calm in the face of President Trump’s executive order ending the right to birthright citizenship in the United States. “It is pure political rhetoric to satisfy those who supported him becoming president,” said immigration lawyer Alex Gálvez. In one of his first acts in office, Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants and those who entered on temporary visas, either tourist or student visas. This is a right that is granted automatically to those born in the country. California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s executive order. “Attempting to rescind birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional and downright un-American,” said Prosecutor Bonta. “California condemns the President’s attempts to erase history and ignore 125 years of Supreme Court precedent.” Therefore, he noted that they are asking a court to immediately block this order from taking effect and ensure that the rights of children born in the United States affected by this order remain in effect while the litigation takes place. “The President has exceeded his authority with this order and we will hold him accountable.” Bonta joins 18 state attorneys general and pro-immigrant organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that have sued Trump to prevent his executive order eliminating the right to birthright citizenship from taking effect. Under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, all children born on American soil are automatically guaranteed citizenship and the rights and privileges that come with it. Parental fear Attorney Gálvez said that the lawsuits against him will freeze Trump’s order, and therefore, undocumented parents who are expecting their babies should not feel any fear of not being able to register them as citizens of this country. “It is not a retroactive order either,” he said. He stated that the matter will be resolved in the Supreme Court, and it will not last long because there are already precedents. He added that because the right to citizenship is guaranteed in the United States Constitution, a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress is required to amend it. “A president by decree cannot change it. We do not live in a dictatorship but in a democracy; and Trump cannot modify that right without two-thirds of the vote. If you want to do it you have to negotiate with the legislators.” Meanwhile, he asked immigrant parents not to worry that their children will be born with the full right to be citizens of the United States, and they will be able to register them as such without any problem. In 1898, the United States Supreme Court upheld this right in a case brought by Wong Kim Ark, a San Francisco-born Chinese-American who had been denied his right to re-enter the country after a trip abroad. In the lawsuit, 18 state attorneys general – led by California, New Jersey and Massachusetts – argue that President Trump’s unprecedented executive order violates the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Section 1401 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and that its entry into force should be immediately blocked while the litigation unfolds. In a December interview with Meet the Press On NBC, Trump declared that children of undocumented immigrant parents should be deported along with their parents, even if they were born in the United States. “I don’t want to break families. So the only way to not separate the family is to keep them together and send them all back.” Keep calm Juan José Gutiérrez, director of the Coalition for the Full Rights of Immigrants, even asked immigrant parents who are waiting for a child not to be afraid, and to first of all focus on ensuring that their baby is born healthy. “They should know that the executive order to deny citizenship to children born in the United States is not law. It is a decree that conflicts with the Constitution, and we have already gone to court to overthrow it.” He stressed that he cannot proceed because the Constitution needs to be modified, and for that two-thirds of the Federal Congress must vote. “If it were approved by the Senate and the House of Representatives, it would then have to go to the legislatures of the 50 states, and pass with a margin of 66% or more with at least the vote of 33, 34 states” . Gutiérrez considered it very difficult for that to happen. “Trump said he was giving 90 days for his decree to take effect. What is going to happen is that before that date, the federal courts, especially the most progressive ones, like California, are going to block this order.”. He stressed that the Constitution is the supreme law of the United States, and it cannot be changed just for the sake of it. “So I tell immigrant parents not to be afraid. Rest assured because it remains to be seen if they will be denied citizenship. For that we are going to fight with everything.” A subclass without rights Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the plaintiff organizations, said the order seeks to repeat one of the gravest mistakes in American history by creating a permanent underclass of people born in the United States who are denied all rights as an American. “We will not allow this attack on newborns and future generations of Americans to go unanswered. “The Trump administration’s overreach is so egregious that we are confident we will ultimately prevail.”

Pregnant mothers and organizations demand to protect citizenship by birthright

On the first day of his second term as president, Donald Trump signed a series of decrees and in particularthe immigration environment captured the spotlight, after one of those decrees, called “Protecting the meaning and value of American citizenship,” aims to redefine birthright citizenship, the process that guarantees all born In the United States you automatically obtain citizenship, but this is not the case for the children of immigrants. Given the controversial decision, a group of Democratic Party governors took one of the measures applied by the president to court on his first day, but they were not the only ones to raise their voices, as five pregnant mothers and the organizations CASA and the Project of Asylum Seekers (ASAP) filed a lawsuit in response to the issuance of the Executive Order. Through a joint statement, The lawsuit charges that it is intended to end the constitutional right of birthright citizenship explicitly provided for in the Fourteenth Amendment. That lawsuit was filed in the District of Maryland and is being litigated by ASAP, CASA, and the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP) at Georgetown Law School. What does the order signed by Trump say? As detailed by the White House itself, “The 14th Amendment has never been interpreted as a universal extension of citizenship to all persons born in the United States… has always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but (who) are not ‘subject to its jurisdiction.’” In that sense, The Federal Government establishes that children of undocumented immigrants are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States and, therefore, should not be considered citizens. Demands from the womb “When I fled persecution in my country, I found a new home in the United States and I am proud of the life my husband and I have built in this country over the past six years,” said Monica, a pregnant mother and ASAP member. , asylum seeker and plaintiff named in the lawsuit. “I am shocked that the government does not want my American-born son to have American citizenship. I am afraid for my son and for our family, especially since we cannot return to our country or get our son another citizenship; “I don’t know what we will do,” he continued. Another plaintiff is Maribel, a member of CASA who has lived in the United States for almost two decades. She has two children who were born in this country and today she is pregnant again, she shared: “I am afraid that my unborn child will be denied the basic rights that my other children enjoy, including access to healthcare and quality education. Without the protections of American citizenship, the Trump administration could even try to take my baby from me and our family and deport them to a country they have never known. “It is deeply wrong to subject a newborn baby to such cruelty.” “This Executive Order undermines the very essence of our democracy and represents a direct attack on the constitution. By attempting to deny U.S. citizenship to children born within our borders based solely on their parents’ immigration status, President Trump is attempting to upend centuries of history and legal protections established through executive orders. This cannot be tolerated,” said Nicholas Katz, General Counsel of the CASA organization. “CASA is committed to protecting our members and defending their rights, while continuing to fight for a fair and equitable immigration system, based on dignity and respect for all people,” he said. “Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment and has been recognized by the Supreme Court as the law of the land for more than 100 years.”said Rupa Bhattacharyya, Legal Director of ICAP. “The President of the United States does not have the power to amend the Constitution with the stroke of a pen in an Executive Order. “We are confident that the Court will correct this overreach and ensure that all babies born in the United States receive their rightful citizenship and all the privileges and benefits that flow from it.” “This executive order has created chaos and confusion in immigrant communities and among our members, as many asylum seekers wonder if their American-born children will have to apply for asylum,” said Swapna Reddy, co-executive director of ASAP. “Our members, like so many other immigrant parents in the United States right now, are afraid: afraid that their children will not be able to live a stable life without fear and afraid that their children do not belong in the only country they have ever known. “More than 150 years ago, Black people worked together to ensure a more equal right to American citizenship, and now we are proud to defend this right for our members, more than 90,000 of whom are Black,” he said.
