"Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights — to freely participate in our political community. The Framers of the Fourteenth Amendment extended that promise to 'every free-born person in this land.' … We keep that promise today." So concludes the decision of the Supreme Court in the landmark case Trump v. Barbara, affirming the constitutional right to birthright citizenship and rejecting President Trump's attempt to end it.

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota have announced criminal charges against 15 people in connection with anti-ICE protests in the Twin Cities. The defendants are accused of "conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers" and of allegedly "violently" impeding immigration enforcement in Minneapolis during Trump's so-called Operation Metro Surge, during which thousands of federal immigration agents were deployed and fatally shot two U.S. citizens.
The indictment focuses on Direct Action Minnesota, or DAMN, a broad activist coalition that prosecutors have linked to anti-fascist, or "antifa," groups. Last fall, President Trump categorized antifa as a "domestic terror organization" even though it is not an actual group.
"All 15 of the defendants are members of the community, active in mutual aid, union members, workers, neighbors," says defense attorney Bruce Nestor, who represents one of the 15 defendants. "The point of this is to spread fear to try to divide us."

The AP conveniently reported the book's juicy details.
McConnell's remarks were made after the 2020 election that Trump lost, and the senator was apparently elated to see the backside of the former president, musing, "it's not just the Democrats who are counting the days" until he leaves office.
