for Illegals? SCOTUS Says No

Imagine the following scenario: A pregnant woman goes into labor while passing your property and, in distress, stumbles onto your lawn. You take notice, offer aid, and EMT arrives and, with time short, she gives birth on the scene. Mother and baby turn out safe and healthy, though, and all’s well that ends well, right? Except for one thing. You’re then told that because the infant was born on your land, he’s now a member of your household. Ridiculous, I know. But, of course, this is analogous to the situation in the United States under our “birthright citizenship” standard, supposedly based on the 14th Amendment.

A flood of discounted Chinese imports is set to compound the economic dangers to Europe from Donald Trump’s tariffs, analysts warn, prompting Brussels to prepare measures to protect itself from a wave of cheap goods from Asia.
The direct impact of the US president’s 20 per cent levy on EU products has sparked fears about the outlook for the bloc’s embattled manufacturers, who are already reeling from US levies on cars and steel.
But the severity of Trump’s tariffs on economies such as China and Vietnam means Brussels is now on alert for an influx of Asian products such as electrical goods and machine appliances being diverted into its own markets.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is already collecting over $200 million per day in extra revenue as it enforces a massive new wave of tariffs under President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" plan. "CBP has successfully implemented 13 tariff-related presidential actions during this Administration," a CBP spokesperson said in a statement to FOX Business. "Serving on America’s frontline, CBP strictly enforces all laws and Presidential directives to secure our economic sovereignty."
Using powers under the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the Trump administration is targeting goods from dozens of countries, including China.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday said that he is taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and to restrict any further issuance to prevent entry into the United States. The reason for the move is the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner, Rubio said on social media.
"I am taking actions to revoke all visas held by South Sudanese passport holders and to restrict any further issuance to prevent entry into the United States, effective immediately, due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return.."

A federal appeals court reinstated a lawsuit against a Northern California school district by a mother who was not told that her 11-year-old child had identified as transgender. The court did not say whether the district had violated the mother’s rights, however, and instead set guidelines for the judge who had previously dismissed the suit. While the Supreme Court has upheld “the fundamental right of parents to make decisions concerning the care, custody, and control of their children,” that right “is not unlimited,” said the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The court told U.S. District Judge Mendez to determine whether rights claimed were “deeply rooted in this nation’s history"
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Friday announced it would redirect $895 million from a woke infrastructure program to aid disaster relief, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. “The BRIC program was yet another example of a wasteful and ineffective FEMA program. It was more concerned with political agendas than helping Americans effected by natural disasters. The BRIC program was created as part of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, otherwise known as the so-called infrastructure bill, which is known to have many leftist carveouts.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said he has directed his administration to "look at new opportunities to expand trade" as he tries to steer his state around President Donald Trump's sprawling import tariffs. In a post on X, Newsom addressed the U.S.'s global trading partners, writing "California is here and ready to talk." It comes after a Fox News report revealed that Newsom is directing his state to pursue "strategic" relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.
Iran has ordered its military personnel to leave Yemen amidst the ongoing US bombing campaign in the country, The Telegraph reported on April 3. The newspaper’s source added that regime officials’ concerns over the Trump administration have eclipsed discussions on Tehran’s regional proxies, dominating every meeting and sidelining previous strategic priorities.
The move is part of a broader pattern of the Islamic Republic recalibrating its regional strategy in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to curtail Tehran’s influence in the Middle East and threats to potentially strike Iran’s nuclear sites.
In court filings, federal officials said Tuesday that a federal judge in Massachusetts does not have jurisdiction to decide whether Rümeysa Öztürk was illegally detained by ICE agents last week. This, according to the Justice Department, is because Öztürk was not in Massachusetts when a legal challenge was filed against the federal government. Öztürk, a Turkish PhD student at Tufts University, was arrested by plainclothes federal agents on a Somerville sidewalk last week. She was swiftly moved to a detention center in Louisiana. The Trump administration revoked her visa, apparently because she “engaged in activities in support of Hamas.” Federal prosecutors (snip) argued that the case belongs in immigration court.
Thailand pledged to narrow its trade surplus with the US by importing more energy and food products, with officials estimating the hit to the Southeast Asian nation’s exports at about $8 billion if the Trump administration raised tariffs by 11%. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s government has prepared a strategy to cope with reciprocal tariffs scheduled to be announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, Vuttikrai Leewiraphan, permanent secretary at the Ministry of Commerce, told a briefing in Bangkok. Thailand will adopt a “holistic approach” to trade negotiations to minimize the impact on its economy, he said. Thailand’s trade surplus with the US totaled $45 billion last year,
Voters across Wisconsin went to the polls Tuesday to vote in a variety of races, but nothing was more contentious and more costly than the state Supreme Court race, which will determine the balance of power in the court.
Liberal Susan Crawford and conservative Brad Schimel competed in the most expensive state court race in the nation's history. The other statewide race is for state superintendent. Incumbent Jill Underly was challenged by Brittany Kinser, a former principal and special education teacher. Underly is backed by Democrats and Kinser by Republicans.
The Supreme Court ordered a federal appeals court Monday to decide if nonviolent felons should be allowed to own guns in light of a Second Amendment ruling from the high court last year. The justices granted a petition from Raheem Morrissette, a convicted felon who contends he retains the right to bear arms because his crimes were not violent, but declined to take on the case themselves. Instead, they vacated the 11th Circuit's judgement upholding Morrissette's conviction for possessing a firearm as a felon and asked that it reconsider under the high court's decision to uphold a federal law prohibiting people under domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns.

Wall Street’s bloodbath spilled over into a second day on Friday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted by more than 2,200 points after China unveiled stiff retaliatory taxes to President Trump’s tariffs.
The Dow tanked 2,231 points — a day after suffering a 1,679-point drop, its previous worst session since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The two-day selloff wiped out $6.4 trillion in market value.

Democratic strategist James Carville in a Friday video demanded a “reckoning” for entities that have collaborated with President Donald Trump’s administration.
Carville alluded to France during World War II when some women faced humiliation, including head-shaving, for allegedly collaborating with Nazis. The strategist, with an empty or near-empty wine glass on his nightstand, said he does not believe Trump “collaborators” should be assaulted but said they must at least face an “intellectual reckoning.”

Primary Poll, Signaling Shift in Democratic Power 19 replies
In a stunning revelation, a new poll shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leading Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) by double digits in a hypothetical head-to-head New York primary matchup. This surprising shift in the political landscape highlights the growing power of the far-left faction within the Democratic Party as Ocasio-Cortez continues to build her base among younger, more progressive voters. Schumer, long seen as the establishment figure in New York and national politics, now faces a growing challenge from within his own party, signaling that even the most entrenched political figures could be vulnerable.
Two of the most divisive politicians in recent American history emerged from hiding this week to play Monday morning quarterback against President Trump, and the Trump White House was not pleased in the slightest.
As ABC News reported, Barack Obama and Kamala Harris launched cheap shots the president in separate speeches on Thursday over his imposition of reciprocal tariffs and ‘attacking’ American values.
“Look, I don’t think what we just witnessed in terms of economic policy and tariffs is going to be good for America, but that’s a specific policy.
Barack Obama has called on US citizens, colleges and law firms to resist Donald Trump’s political agenda – and warned Americans to prepare to “possibly sacrifice” in support of democratic values.
“It has been easy during most of our lifetimes to say you are a progressive or say you are for social justice or say you’re for free speech and not have to pay a price for it,” Obama said during a speech at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, on Thursday.
The two-term former Democratic president painted a picture of the Trump White House looking to upend the international order created after the second world war

Barack Obama made a shockingly honest admission about the state of his marriage to Michelle Obama.
“I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” Barack, 63, told Hamilton College President Steven Tepper in a conversation Thursday, according to the Daily Beast.
“So I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things.”
The former president of the United States has previously suggested that his back-to-back terms in office from 2009 to 2017 took a toll on his relationship with the former first lady.
A single Republican senator — Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) — voted against the nomination of Harmeet Dhillon to serve as assistant attorney general, veering away from the rest of her GOP colleagues who voted in favor.
After her nomination in December, lawmakers finally held a formal vote Thursday and Dhillon was approved in a 52-45 vote. However, Murkowski opposed the nomination and sided with Democrats. President Donald Trump announced in December the nomination of Dhillon to work as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice.
Former President Obama made an appearance at Hamilton College this week and tried to take some cheap shots at the Trump administration.
He was clearly trying to echo the talking points currently being pushed by his party and the media.
For some reason, Obama thinks no one remembers anything about his presidency.
From NBC News: Former President Barack Obama said he is “deeply concerned” with some of the actions that President Donald Trump and his administration have taken and seemed to call out the Republican Party
Former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) is preparing to launch a 2026 gubernatorial bid in Georgia, according to a Friday report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
