The US Supreme Court on Monday allowed government agents to resume roving patrols to detain migrants in California, a practice critics call racial profiling. The ruling bolsters US President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration stance amid stepped-up raids in Los Angeles and other parts of the state. The US Supreme Court on Monday lifted an order preventing government agents from carrying out roving patrols to detain migrants in California, upholding at least for now a practice critics say amounts to racial profiling. The decision is the latest ruling by the country's highest court in favor of President Donald Trump's increasingly hardline stance in the wake of ramped-up raids across Los Angeles and other parts of California...
#4 Supreme Court Allows Trump to Fire FTC Commissioner - Lawrence Hurley for NBC News, Patricia Del Favero Campbell, PhD, solarr, Edward Halliday, Woodrow Williams, and American Association of Retired Republicans on X
The Supreme Court on Monday allowed President Donald Trump to fire a member of the Federal Trade Commission despite a federal law that is intended to restrict the White House’s power to control the agency. The court, in an order issued by Chief Justice John Roberts, temporarily blocked a judge's ruling that reinstated Rebecca Kelly Slaughter while the case continues. The order did not definitively signal how the court would address the Trump administrations emergency request to give the president broader authority to fire independent agency members without cause, but it signals that the court would most likely grant it... President Donald Trump said that "blood is on the hands of the Democrats" after the brutal stabbing of a Ukrainian refugee in Charlotte, North Carolina, who was attacked and killed on a light rail train by a man with a lengthy criminal history last month. Social media exploded over the weekend after surveillance footage, released by the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS), showed 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska boarding a Lynx Blue line last month before a man pulled out a knife and began stabbing Zarutska three times, including at least once in the neck... The trial of an alleged would-be presidential assassin started as many trials do: with jury selection. But before US District Judge Aileen Cannon called prospective jurors into the Fort Pierce, Florida, courtroom, she needed clarity on a screening question from the defence. "There's a question about, a turtle in the road, would one stop or move it?" Judge Cannon said Monday. Lawyers typically do not pose such whimsical questions during voir dire - the process by which potential jurors are screened - but then, the man who submitted it isn't a lawyer. He's the defendant. Ryan Routh, 59, who has been charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump last September, is representing himself... A federal appeals court in New York on Monday upheld the $83.3 million judgment imposed on President Donald Trump for defaming former magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll in 2019. "Trump has failed to identify any grounds that would warrant reconsidering our prior holding on presidential immunity. We also conclude that the district court did not err in any of the challenged rulings and that the jury's damages awards are fair and reasonable," the opinion said. Trump last year was ordered to pay $83.3 million in damages to Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, for defaming her in 2019 when he denied sexually abusing her in the dressing room of a Manhattan department store in the 1990s... Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday called Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. a “joke” amid turmoil in Kennedy’s own department. “You looked at that appearance before Congress, and it just confirms what all of us around this table have known for decades: Robert F Kennedy Jr. is a foolish man, full of foolish and vapid ideas,” Christie said on ABC News’s “This Week.” “And that was on display again this week in front of Congress,” he added, later slamming the HHS secretary as “a joke” in a clip highlighted by Mediaite... Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky took aim at Vice President JD Vance over the weekend for defending the administration's drone strike of alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers. Since then, a source close to Vance told Blaze News that "hypocrites" like Paul are simply suffering from a "debilitating case of Trump derangement syndrome." President Donald Trump's administration greenlit a drone strike in Venezuela last week, claiming to have killed 11 drug traffickers identified as members of the Tren de Aragua gang. Vance defended the strike, calling it the "highest and best use of our military." ucker Carlson infamously criticized Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for citing the Bible's urging of support for Israel, and now Cruz is firing back, calling Carlson increasingly extreme and "unrecognizable." "Something is wrong with Tucker Carlson," Cruz said on his podcast "Verdict With Ted Cruz." "I don't know what the hell's wrong with him." After being must-see TV during the 2020 presidential race, race riots, and COVID-19 lockdowns, the former Fox News host is lost with regard to war, peace, terrorists, and his recent condolences to Osama bin Laden's family, according to Cruz... In a sweet story reminiscent of the Velveteen Rabbit, a young boy’s favorite stuffed animal is sleeping soundly again in the arms of his owner following a harrowing few days of separation. The Kay family was returning home from a ski holiday when they parked at a rest stop in Wyoming. A wild rangebound wind was whipping across the interstate that day. Inside the car were parents Bill and Christina, and their 8-year-old boy William, who was sitting in the back of the car with his best friend, a dog plushie named, well, Dog. The little brown stuffie was given to Christina as a present at her baby shower—the guest not knowing if it were to be a boy or a girl...
