The nation’s highest court ruled in favor of litigants who argued that Harvard and UNC’s affirmative motion programs violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Last summer, the Biden administration urged colleges and universities to search out alternative routes to support diversity on campus. The Education Department issued guidance and resources on how institutions can ensure they proceed to “reflect the beautiful diversity of our country.”

US citizens are in the agenda of President Donald Trump, because the administration is considering a proposal to deport convicted Americans in prisons in El Salvador.

“Then they are native, home. You have to build five more places,” said Trump to the president of Salvador, Nayibo Bukele, before the press briefing on Monday.

According to NPR, Trump’s statement referred to the concept imprisonment of convicted US citizens In the prison space abroad, the idea Bukele suggested that the El Salvador was prepared for conduct.

“Yes, we have a place,” he said.

The US prosecutor General Pam Bondi actively examines whether American deportations to other countries could be legally solid and economical. “We also have others with whom we negotiate,” said Trump. “If he is a home criminal, I have no problem. Now we are studying rights now – I am learning. If we can do it, that’s good.”

While Trump’s ally Elon Musk and other conservatives agree with the concept of detaining US citizens abroad, some lawyers consider that the concept is “unconstitutional” and “illegal”.

“There is no authorization to deport US citizens in any American law, and certainly not imprison them in a foreign country,” said David Bier from the Cato Institute. “Of course, the problem is (Trump) he has already illegally deported hundreds of people, simply not giving the courts the opportunity to stop him.”

In February, Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) called on administration Reject the ideas of the proposal In a letter addressed to the US Department of State.

“It would be a moral and legal parody of the US government to submit to every” conditions of life Salvadors prisons, Ossoff wrote, noting that they don’t provide adequate sanitary, temperature control and clean water.

According to February post, Bukele on X, in exchange for a “relatively low” fee, Salvador suggested that he would take convicted criminals from the US to his terrorism, mega-herpison situated in Tecoluc.

Trump’s answer: “I would do it in the blink of an eye.”

Salvador supposedly already lives a whole bunch of individuals who have been transported from the United States to a jail with maximum security in recent weeks due to legal status and belonging to the gang.

In the past, the United States contested legal and constitutional barriers, imprisoning about 80,000 Japanese during World War II. Although the American Civil Liberties Union claimed that “you can’t deport the US citizen, dot”, the spokeswoman for the White House indicated in the press briefing of April 8 that Trump fully considers this concept.

Chairman of the FCC under the fire for wearing Trump’s head on a high heel in Crerey Maga Cult Callback

Published

on

By

There are golden heels for flaps, after which there are loyalty vows, which go as innocent golden heels.

The chairman of FCC, Brendan Carr, recently selected the last one – hitting the golden pink head of Donald Trump’s head into his jacket, as if he was interrogated by the Ministry of Maga Propaganda (and let’s not give Trump any ideas).

Carr posed for a camera in Congress rooms, just under the official home seal, proudly showing a pin, in which most decision -makers normally show the American flag – a quiet exchange, which puts symbolism over the substance, emphasizing the shameless loyalty shown to Trump, especially by appointed and members of his office.

And for those that wonder if Trump’s golden image was only a one -time flex by Carr, we assure you that every one this except: He sent Pin Trump-head repeatedly on X, apparently convinced that replacing the national emblem with the face of his favorite president is solely good branding.

Social media had a day in the field.

“Once again, how is it not a cult?” One person joked at Reddit.

“Certain real energy select your large shiny pin with you, one user has extinguished in one other post, showing that Carr was rading a full display.

Another person offered Carr some wardrobe advice: “A disgusting idiot, you have no honesty, why not attach this damn badge on the forehead.”

One user summed up the slack in a neat post: “How crazy is wearing Pinie Trump, as if you are his fan president? Are you 12? Are you an ethical challenge?”

The controversy and its slack had a disturbing echo of the oppression of regimes, in which facial high heels are a smaller alternative of fashion and more tactics of survival. For example, North Korea made miniature portraits of Kim il-Sung and Kim Jong-N. Virtually mandatory. Mao Zedong had its own lip cult during China’s cultural revolution.

The similarity was not lost by critics who saw this type of cult Hero, who crawled dangerously near authoritarian cosplay in American politics, unlike before.

The White House tried to tear him away.

“Of course, we have not ordered officials to wear this pin. If they decide to wear it, it is to show support for the greatest president in history,” said an unnamed official News Yahoo.

It was a kind of statement that unintentionally confirmed the whole point.

Carr didn’t comment on the slack, but Trump’s golden head already spoke. At a time when the loyalty to Trump was under a great criticism in democratic circles, Szpilka seemed less like a personal statement, and more with the shutter of the current climate in Washington – with republicans not showing resistance to the Trump program and symbolism play a direct role in remaining in Trump’s good favors.

And Carr was not the only headline. In February, a representative of New York Claudia Tenney decided that the highest time in which America made Trump’s birthday a federal holiday. Yes, you read well. In the invoice, which practically got here a gift in Maga Red, Tenney proposed joining on June 14-the Flag Day-a latest holiday called “Trump’s Birthday and Flag Day”. Her pitch? This Trump, like George Washington, deserves its day on his calendar.

“As our 45 and 47. President is the most consistent president of the modern history of America,” Tenney said, he brushed the belief about Trump’s crime, civil discovery of sexual sexual abuse and two impeachments, reminiscent of parking tickets.

It even belonged to Trump’s “founder of the Golden Age of America”, a sentence that seemed less like a legislative blaster, and more at the starting of the history of Origin Marvel Comics.

This movement caused their very own wave of criticism on the web, and commentators compared the proposal of something from the North Korean textbook. “We are still saying that it is a cult,” one user wrote, “and they still prove us.”

To sum up, Bill and Pin Carr offer greater than just isolated quirks – they show a party an increasing number of shaped by the image of one man, each literally and legislative.
