A recent memo from the White House highlights the Democrats’ intention to roll back reforms intended to prevent this alleged misuse of funds.

Wade. Roske’s journey took a desperate turn when he called 911 on himself, stating he was…
The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision represents a significant shift in immigration policy, particularly concerning Venezuelan migrants. In a tightly contested 6-3 ruling, the Court granted the Trump administration authority to rescind the Biden-era Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for about 600,000 Venezuelans.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, representing the dissenting view, expressed deep concern over the ramifications of this decision. In her dissent, she criticized the Court for what she termed “gratuitous and harmful interference” with cases impacting vulnerable lives. Jackson’s words highlighted a sense…
