Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorshipAMNA NAWAZ: We start the day's other# headlines with a busy day at the White## House that includes visits by two of the# nation's most high-profile governors and## an executive action that takes steps to# restrict transgender rights in sports.
DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States:# Oh, I think we have a chance.
We have a 10.
AMNA NAWAZ: On National Girls and Women# in Sports Day, President Donald Trump## pushing through another campaign# promise through executive order.
DONALD TRUMP: The war on women's sports is over.
(CHEERING) DONALD TRUMP: In recent years, the radical left# has waged an all-out campaign to erase the very## concept of biological sex and replace# it with a militant transgender ideology.
AMNA NAWAZ: Under the order, schools# allowing transgender athletes to compete## would be violating Title IX, the federal# law banning sex discrimination in schools,## and could be denied federal funding as a result,# but a setback today for another campaign promise,## as a second federal judge put a hold on Trump's# executive order to end birthright citizenship.
U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued# a nationwide injunction, saying that the## order -- quote -- "runs counter to our nation's# 250-year history of citizenship by birth."
Meanwhile, in Washington, California# Governor Gavin Newsom became the## first Democrat to visit the White# House to meet with the president,## trying to secure federal funding to help Los# Angeles communities ravaged by deadly wildfires.## The president has repeatedly threatened# to withhold that aid if the state doesn't## take certain unrelated steps, like enacting# voter identification measures for elections.
And Trump's own Cabinet continues# to come together, Pam Bondi,## former Florida attorney general and# Trump impeachment defense lawyer,## sworn in today to the nation's# top law enforcement job.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues his# five-nation visit across Central America,## as Guatemala's President Bernardo Arevalo## offers to accept deported migrants from the United# States, including those from other countries.
BERNARDO AREVALO, Guatemalan President (through# translator): Guatemala is and will continue to be## a partner with the United States, a partner to# address the problems that we face as a region.
AMNA NAWAZ: That follows a similar# agreement from El Salvador this week,## as one of President Trump's top priorities,# immigration, gains more foreign partners.
