Would President-elect Donald Trump's immigration plan have denied his son Barron citizenship in the United States? No, that's not true: Barron Trump's father is a U.S. citizen. While his mother Melania Trump was not yet a naturalized citizen when Barron was born in 2006 in New York City, she was a legal resident at the time. Thus under Trump's stated plan of "at least one parent will have to be a citizen or a legal resident" for a newborn to have citizenship, Barron would have qualified with both parents. And future proposals notwithstanding, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states that anyone born in the United States is a citizen from birth.

No, that's not true: Searches of his social media did not find such a statement. A search on Google News did not confirm that Legend had left the country because of the election results. An AI detection tool found that there was a "99.9%" chance that the article making the statement had been written using artificial intelligence.

Did a Navy SEAL team based in California start "hunting MS-13 members in the greater Los Angeles area" and have they already "eliminated" 50 members of MS-13?
