President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would "absolutely" denaturalize certain Americans, revoking the citizenship of some "criminals," if he had the power to do so. "We have criminals that came into our country and they were naturalized maybe through [President Joe] Biden or somebody that didn't know what they were doing," Trump said on Sunday in answer to a reporter's question. He added, "If I have the power to do it -- I'm not sure that I do, but if I do -- I would denaturalize, absolutely."

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that his administration would maintain a pause on asylum decisions "for a long time." "We don't want those people," Trump said. "You know why we don't want them? Because many have been no good, and they shouldn't be in our country." The president said there was "no time limit" for the pause. The decision followed the shooting near the White House on Wednesday, which resulted in the death of a 20-year-old National Guard member and left another critically wounded.
