According to a new memo sent out by the Justice Department, Americans who intentionally expose and infect others with coronavirus could face criminal charges under federal terrorism laws.

The document declared that any coronavirus carrier now caught purposely exposing himself with the intent to infect others will now be treated as a terrorist by law enforcement agencies.

The third-degree terrorism charge carries a sentence of three to five years in state prison.

The document, signed Wednesday by Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen declares that: “coronavirus appears to meet the statutory definition of ‘biological agent’ under 18 U.S.C., [which means that] such acts could implicate the Nation’s terrorism-related statuse. Threats or attempts to use COVID-19 as a weapon against Americans will not be tolerated”.

The United States has issued new rules stopping pregnant foreigners from traveling to the country, to prevent ‘birth tourism’

The White House and US State Department have announced that starting today, Friday January 24th, it will stop pregnant foreigners from travelling into the country to give birth to children in order to obtain American citizenship, a practice known as ‘Birth Tourism’.

The White House announcing the new rule Thursday evening said that the State Department “will no longer issue temporary visitor (B-1/B-2) visas to aliens seeking to enter the United States for ‘birth tourism.'”

According to the new rule, foreigners will be denied temporary visas if their plan is to give birth in the US but the rule doesn’t apply to the 39 countries mostly in Europe that have the Visa waiver program.
