    A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Thursday blocked a portion of President Donald Trump’s executive order on election integrity, specifically provisions related to providing documentary proof of citizenship before being allowed to register to vote. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia handed down the order in response to lawsuits filed by three separate groups of plaintiffs over five different provisions in a March 25 Trump executive order relating to election integrity. While Kollar-Kotelly dismissed requests to block three of the provisions, requests to block two other provisions pertaining to a proof of...

    A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump from implementing an executive order that requires voters to show documentation proving their U.S. citizenship to cast a ballot in federal elections. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Bill Clinton appointee, granted a preliminary injunction stopping the Trump administration from going forward with the proof-of-citizenship requirements as a lawsuit plays out, the Associated Press reported. The lawsuit, filed by the Democratic National Committee and leftist voting rights groups, claims that Trump’s order is “an unlawful action that threatens to uproot our tried-and-tested election systems and silence potentially millions of Americans.”

    The Trump administration had asked the justices to lift a nationwide pause on the policy as lower court challenges continue.The Supreme Court announced on Thursday that it would hear arguments in a few weeks over President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship.The brief order by the justices was unsigned and gave no reasoning, as is typical in such emergency cases. But the unusual move is a sign that the justices consider the matter significant enough that they would immediately hold oral argument on the government’s request to lift a nationwide pause on the policy.The justices announced they would defer any...

    Another pro-Palestinian Columbia University student and U.S. green card holder was detained by federal agents as he arrived for a citizenship appointment Monday. Mohsen Mahdawi, a permanent resident in the U.S. for 10 years, was one of the leading voices of protests on the New York City campus in the early months of the Israel-Hamas conflict. He was detained in Colchester, Vermont, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), triggering the process of removal – the latest in a string of targeted enforcement efforts against pro-Palestinian activist students. Newsweek reached out to the Department for Homeland Security (DHS) for comment via...

    After sitting back for four years while the leader of the Democrat Party allowed millions of illegal aliens to invade the country, 208 Democrats voted against legislation Thursday that would keep foreign nationals out of American elections.The Republican-led House passed the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act 220-208. The legislation, introduced by Texas Rep. Chip Roy, would require documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.“Despite the ridiculous attacks and purposeful misinformation spread about the bill, I am pleased to see that the House of Representatives once again passed the SAVE Act on a bipartisan basis to ensure...

    Nineteen Democratic attorneys general sued Thursday over President Trump’s executive order that aims to strengthen proof of citizenship requirements in voting and prevent states from tabulating mail-in ballots received after Election Day. The new lawsuit adds to three existing cases filed by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and separate coalitions of private groups, who accuse Trump of going beyond his authority and violating the separation of powers. “It bears emphasizing: the President has no power to do any of this,” the states’ complaint reads. “Neither the Constitution nor Congress has authorized the President to impose documentary proof of citizenship requirements...

    President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order requiring people to provide proof of American citizenship when they register to vote and demanding that all ballots be reviewed by Election Day. The order requires government-issued proof of U.S. citizenship on its voter registration forms, directs the attorney general to enter into information-sharing agreements with state election officials to identify cases of election fraud or other election law violations and conditions federal election-related funds on states complying with federal election integrity measures. “There are other steps that we will be taking in the coming weeks,” Trump said just before signing...

    A former Hawaii resident, and longtime green card holder, is among those being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. HONOLULU (Hawaii News Now) -- Green card holders are officially Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. But being a resident of the United States is very different from being a citizen. Lewelyn Dixon immigrated from the Philippines to Hawaii 50 years ago. She graduated from Farrington High School and has been working as a lab technician at the University of Washington. Dixon was returning home to Seattle from a family trip...

    The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to rein in lower court rulings that have prevented a ban on birthright citizenship from taking effect nationwide. Judges should not be able to govern “the whole Nation” from their courtrooms by issuing universal injunctions that block policies across the entire country while litigation is pending, the administration told the justices in its application. “District courts have issued more universal injunctions and TROs [temporary restraining orders] during February 2025 alone than through the first three years of the Biden Administration,” the application states. “That sharp rise in universal injunctions stops the...

    Leaving birthright citizenship to the Roberts court is walking into a minefield – legislation is the smarter route to end this unnecessary relic of the 19th century. Here’s why. If conservatives are counting on the Supreme Court to rule birthright citizenship for illegal aliens unconstitutional, think again – it isn’t the slam dunk many believe it to be. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a better path to abolishing this disastrous policy for good.

    There are pivotal moments that define a person’s transformation, both personally and politically, and Elon Musk is right in the middle of one. Thanks to the Democrats’ radical Marxist agenda and their botched, tyrannical policies, Musk has been pulling off political U-turns left and right. So much so, that jaws were literally dropping after his latest post. This was, by far, Elon’s most savage “red pill” moment to date. It all unfolded when Elon Musk chimed in on a thread about the SAVE Act on his X platform, a proposal aimed at ensuring only American citizens vote in federal elections....

    President Donald Trump proposed Tuesday a new immigration initiative called the “gold card,” a high-priced alternative to an existing green card program aimed at attracting wealthy people and highly-skilled professionals to the U.S. Trump said the gold card would cost “about $5 million,” provide a “route to citizenship” and could be available in two weeks. “It's going to be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card,” Trump said while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. “They'll be wealthy, and they'll be successful, and they'll...

    Since winning his election and taking office for his second term, President Donald J. Trump wasted no time sweeping up the messes left by the dark ages of the Biden presidency, including mass deporting the multitude of law-breaking people who invaded our sovereign borders. Rather than speaking up for the rights of American citizens violently ripped from their mothers’ wombs every day, the abortion-hungry Left has leapt to defend the cause of illegal aliens. In doing so, they deem illegal aliens in the womb worthy of greater legal protections than American children in the womb. Main Idea: The American Civil...

    President Trump has placed this once relatively obscure legal issue into the public square of American political democracy. He has, in essence, democratized the issue. Automatic birthright citizenship is no longer solely a technical question confined to legal elites, but a vital political and policy issue, a space where the people’s voice should be heard. Trump’s executive order and the proposed congressional legislation mean that the democratically elected branches of government have joined the conversation in deciding the critical question of who should or should not automatically become an American citizen. This is not a transient issue that will simply...

    America First Legal filed two amicus briefs this week in support of President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. The firm filed the briefs on behalf of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and 17 other committee members. Despite there being nearly two dozen Democrat-run states and civil rights groups suing to stop the order and two federal judges ruling to temporarily block it, America First is arguing that there is a clear constitutional basis for denying citizenship to illegal migrants who have broken the country’s immigration laws. Trump’s order titled "Protecting...
