The decision of citizenship of the Supreme Supreme Court triggers a new cycle of legal fighting
By Lawrence Hurley and Gary Grumbach
Almost as soon as the The Supreme Court made public its decision Limiting the ability of judges to block the plan of President Donald Trump to end citizenship of the right of birth, the challenges have brought new legal complaints in search of the same result by a different means.
Although the Supreme Court has declared that the judges could not issue “universal injunctions” which can apply on a national level in many cases, it has left the option of the complainant’s option asking for a large recovery via collective appeals.
The American Civil Liberties Union has filed such a prosecution in New Hampshire in the name of immigrants whose children cannot obtain American citizenship at birth if Trump’s order was to enter into force.
In a distinct case of Maryland, in which groups had previously obtained a national injunction, the lawyers filed a modified complaint requesting a similar compensation on the scale of the class for any person affected by the Plan of Trump in the hours following the decision made by Judge Amy Coney Barrett.
As part of the Trump plan, citizenship of the birth law would be limited to those who have at least one parent who is an American citizen or permanent resident. It is in contradiction with the widely accepted understanding of the 14th amendment of the Constitution – that it grants citizenship to any person born in the United States, to a few minor exceptions.
Samuel Bray, criticism of the national scale at the Faculty of Law of Notre Dame whose work has been cited in the decision, said that individual states and complainants can still obtain large injunctions against the decree of the citizenship of birth, potentially even on a national scale.
“I do not expect the decree will come into force,” he added.
How Trump reacts: During a press conference, Trump clearly indicated that the administration would proactively use the decision of the Supreme Court not only to strengthen his proposal for a citizenship of birth law, but also To move forward on other policies which were blocked by the judges at the national level.
“Thanks to this decision, we can now deposit quickly to carry out many policies that have been wrongly overrun at national level,” said the president.

Steve Bannon urges the Republicans to take the rise of Zohran Mamdani “seriously”
By Kristen Welker
Zohran Mamdani managed an astonishing upheaval in the primary of the mayor of New York this week, sending shock waves through the Democratic Party. An little -known state legislator, Mamdani has led a campaign that energized key democratic constituencies and finally forced the former governor Andrew Cuomo to concede.
And now, even the Republicans are starting to be careful. Steve Bannon, a close ally of President Donald Trump, told me that the GOP should take the climb seriously from Mamdani.
“He did something that Oc and Bernie could not do – he connected populism to affordability,” said Bannon. “Republicans are better to start taking this type seriously and they better stop wishing to win, and they will automatically run against its policies in 2026. This type is a very qualified politician. He clearly had a lot of training. He has radical ideas, but he presents them in an optimistic way and the way people have the impression of fighting for them.
Mamdani has the moment for the moment, but if the mayor elected this fall this fall, he would face immediate questions on the question of whether he and his socialist democratic colleagues could effectively govern the largest city in the country. It would oversee a budget of $ 115 billion, more than 300,000 employees in the city and the largest police forces in the country.
Mamdani is committed to extending affordable housing, making city buses free and reducing the cost of living by increasing taxes on large companies and the highest 1% of employees. But his file in Albany offers limited evidence of legislative success: The New York Times reported that only three relatively minor bills he sponsored have become the law.
Make your promises would be difficult. The New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul – who said that she was not yet ready to support Mamdani – has already rejected her tax increases proposed on the rich, and making public buses would require state approval.
So, if we had the opportunity to govern, how would Mamdani do it, given these challenges?
I’m going to talk to Mamdani of all this in an exclusive interview on “Meet the Press” this Sunday.

โ๏ธ Mailbag: Does Trump draw his deportation promises?
Thank you to everyone who sent us an email! This week’s reader’s question concerns Trump’s mass expulsion program.
“The president says that they expel rapists, drug traffickers and children’s attackers. I was wondering how many arrests are real criminals and how many workers at illegal entry? โ
To answer this, we turned to a exclusive report This week of our colleagues Julia Ainsley and Laura Strickler.
They obtained internal immigration data and customs application of each reserved person from October 1 to May 31, part of which during the Biden administration. It shows a total of 185,042 people arrested and reserved in ice facilities during this period; 65,041 of them were found guilty of crimes. The most common categories of crimes they have committed were the offenses to immigration and traffic.
Last fall, Ice said to Congress that 13,099 people recognized as guilty of homicide and 15,811 people found guilty of sexual assault were on his unteashed file, which means that he knew who they were but had not in detention.
The new data show that from October 1 to May 31, Ice arrested 752 people recognized as guilty of homicide and 1,693 people recognized as guilty of sexual assault, which means that at most, the Trump administration has only held 6% of unhappy immigrants known to have been convicted of homicide and 11% of those known to have been sentenced to sexual assault.
