School Districts Consider Excluding Undocumented Students from Programs

School Districts Consider Excluding Undocumented Students from Programs

Several school districts in the United States are considering policies to exclude students without legal status from participating in federally funded college credit and career education programs. This move, reported by Chalkbeat, could conflict with a Supreme Court ruling that mandates public schools to serve all students, regardless of their legal status. The potential exclusion of undocumented students from these programs raises significant legal and ethical questions, as it challenges the inclusivity of public education systems.

Supreme Court Case Louisiana v Callais Could Impact Black Voting Rights

Supreme Court Case Louisiana v Callais Could Impact Black Voting Rights

The U.S. Supreme Court is set to rule on Louisiana v Callais, a case that could significantly impact the Voting Rights Act (VRA) and Black voting power. The case questions whether the VRA can still mandate states to create electoral maps that allow Black voters a meaningful chance to elect representatives. This decision comes amid a broader trend of restrictive voting laws and efforts to centralize election control, which critics argue are reminiscent of Jim Crow-era tactics. The outcome of this case could either reinforce or further erode protections for minority voters.

Federal Appeals Court Reinstates $656 Million Judgment Against Palestinian Authorities

Federal Appeals Court Reinstates $656 Million Judgment Against Palestinian Authorities

A federal appeals court in New York has reinstated a $656 million judgment against the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority. This decision follows a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that allows American courts to hear claims against these Palestinian entities. The original judgment was related to a civil terrorism award tied to violence in Israel, which had been previously dismissed by the appeals court on the grounds that U.S. courts could not consider lawsuits against foreign groups for overseas attacks not aimed at the United States. However, the Supreme Court's decision in June 2025 upheld a 2019 law permitting such lawsuits, leading to the reinstatement of the judgment.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Data Demand from California Colleges

Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Data Demand from California Colleges

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration's policy requiring universities to submit extensive data on applicants, including race and GPA, to ensure compliance with non-discrimination laws. This decision comes after California and 16 other Democratic-led states filed a lawsuit challenging the policy. The administration's demand was part of a broader effort to investigate whether colleges are illegally considering race in admissions, a practice prohibited by the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling against affirmative action. The University of California and California State University systems argued that the data request was burdensome and risked student privacy. The injunction temporarily halts the data collection for public colleges in the suing states while the case proceeds.

Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration's Demand for California College Admissions Data

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the Trump administration's demand for extensive data from public colleges and universities in California and 16 other states. The administration sought seven years of data, including grade-point averages, test scores, and race information, to ensure compliance with a Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action in college admissions. The University of California and California State University systems argued that the data request was burdensome and risked student privacy. The injunction temporarily halts the data collection while the lawsuit, filed by California and other Democratic-led states, proceeds. The Trump administration claims the data is necessary to verify that race is not illegally considered in admissions, following the Supreme Court's 2023 decision.

DHS Highlights Birthright Citizenship Concerns Amid MacDill Bomb Plot Case

DHS Highlights Birthright Citizenship Concerns Amid MacDill Bomb Plot Case

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that the parents of suspects involved in a foiled bomb plot at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida are illegal immigrants. The parents, Qiu Qin Zou and Jia Zhang Zheng, were taken into custody by ICE agents on March 18, following their son Alen Zheng's alleged attempt to plant an explosive device outside the base. The case has brought attention to the issue of birthright citizenship, as both Alen and his sister Ann Mary Zheng, who are implicated in the plot, were born in the U.S. and are citizens. The Trump administration has argued that this case underscores national security risks associated with birthright citizenship, a matter currently under review by the Supreme Court. Alen Zheng is charged with attempted destruction of government property, while Ann Mary Zheng faces charges of accessory after the fact and evidence tampering.

Supreme Court Skeptical of Trump Administration's Challenge to Birthright Citizenship

Supreme Court Skeptical of Trump Administration's Challenge to Birthright Citizenship

The Supreme Court recently heard arguments regarding the Trump administration's challenge to birthright citizenship, a principle established by the 14th Amendment. President Trump was present during the oral arguments, marking a presidential first. The administration argues that the phrase 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' does not apply to undocumented immigrants, as they owe allegiance to another country. However, the justices appeared skeptical of this interpretation, with Chief Justice John Roberts questioning the basis of the federal government's case. The challenge stems from an executive order issued by Trump aimed at disrupting chain migration.
