Federal agents are violating a court order that prohibits them from racially profiling Latinos and other Southern California residents as the directive winds it way through an appeals process, immigrant advocates and local officials say.
Why a court order barring ICE from targeting people based on their race isn't being enforced
The order issued by a federal judge in Los Angeles is on appeal by the Trump administration, making its viability murky.

Making a decision to move the US space Command without doing an assessment of the cost, risks to national security, impacts to workers and their families is impulsive, dangerous, and irresponsible.
Trump’s decision to move U.S. Space Command to Alabama is deeply disappointing. It undermines national security, wastes taxpayer dollars, and disrupts military families. Colorado Springs remains the best home for Space Command and the men and women who serve there.

A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.
