The Daily Signal - Trump’s Immigration Orders, Rubio Sworn In, Bishop’s Woke Warning | Jan. 21, 2025

President Donald Trump made good on his promise to take action to secure the border on Day One of his administration with 10 executive orders. The ink was barely dry Tuesday when 18 state attorneys general filed a lawsuit over his order to end universal birthright citizenship.


Marco Rubio was the first Trump nominee to secure Senate confirmation Monday night on a vote of 99-0. The former Florida senator was sworn in as secretary of state Tuesday by Vice President JD Vance.


Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde of Washington lectured Trump and Vance on being kind to transgender people and immigrants at Tuesday’s National Prayer Service.


Additional headlines:


• Congressman Andy Biggs, a former chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, announced Tuesday that he’s exploring a run for governor of Arizona.

• Ryan Corbett‘s 894-day captivity in Afghanistan is coming to an end. His family announced Tuesday that he was freed by the Taliban, hours after President Trump was sworn into office.

• The Ohio State Buckeyes won the college football playoff national championship Monday night, defeating the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 34-23. But it’s what happened after the game that’s making news.
