givedemwotowoto: Immigration was something Biden/Harris got so so wrong, to the point that gangs from other countries were beginning to operate boldly in the US! All they had to do was cross the border through Mexico.
Imagine moving to the US from Nigeria to go and establish Nigerian cult and spy gangs, and Nigerian corrupt politicians eventually use them to trace and eliminate their opponents or critics abroad. This mirrored my thought! |

Foreign Affairs › Judge Issue A More Permanent Block To Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order by Moony45(op): 7:42pm On Feb 05, 2025 |
A second federal judge has issued an order blocking Donald Trump's administration from implementing his plan to curtail U.S. birthright citizenship, saying no court in the United States has ever endorsed the Republican president's interpretation of the Constitution. During a hearing on Wednesday in Greenbelt, Maryland, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman sided with two immigrant rights groups and five pregnant women who argued that their children were at risk of being denied U.S. citizenship based on the immigration status of their parents in violation of the Constitution. Boardman, an appointee of Trump's Democratic predecessor Joe Biden, issued a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking Trump's order from going into effect as planned on Feb. 19 while the matter is litigated. "Today, virtually every baby born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen upon birth," Boardman said. "That is the law and tradition of our country. That law and tradition are and will remain the status quo pending the resolution of this case." A U.S. Justice Department lawyer asked Boardman for 60 days to respond to the injunction, but did not say whether the Trump administration would appeal. Boardman's order provides longer-term relief to opponents of Trump's policy than an earlier, 14-day pause imposed on Jan. 23 by a Seattle-based federal judge. That judge, John Coughenour, called Trump's order "blatantly unconstitutional." Coughenour is set on Thursday to consider whether to likewise issue a preliminary injunction that would remain in effect pending the resolution of the litigation. Trump's executive order, signed on his first day back in office on Jan. 20, had directed U.S. agencies to refuse to recognize the citizenship of children born in the United States if neither their mother nor father is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. It is part of Trump's hardline policies toward immigration that he has pursued since returning to power. Lawyers for the immigrant rights groups CASA and the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project that brought the case before Boardman have argued that Trump's order violates the right enshrined in the citizenship clause of the Constitution's 14th Amendment that provides that anyone born in the United States is a citizen. Advertisement · Scroll to continue Boardman said at the hearing that Trump's interpretation of the Constitution has been "resoundingly rejected" by the Supreme Court in the past. "In fact, no court in the country has ever endorsed the president's interpretation," Boardman said. "This court will not be the first." The Maryland lawsuit is one of at least eight filed around the United States by Democratic state attorneys general, immigrants rights advocates and expectant mothers challenging Trump's order.

Foreign Affairs › Federal Judge Blocks Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order by Moony45(op): 7:50pm On Jan 23, 2025 |
A federal judge in Seattle has signed a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship.
U.S. District Judge John Coughenour on Thursday heard a request made by four Democratic-led states to issue a temporary restraining order against the executive order signed by Trump that purports to limit birthright citizenship to people who have at least one parent who is a United States citizen or permanent resident.
"I have been on the bench for over four decades," said Judge Coughenour, who was nominated to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1981. "I can't remember another case where the case presented is as clear as it is here. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order."
"In your opinion, is this executive order constitutional?" he asked DOJ attorney Brett Shumate.
"Yes, we think it is," Shumate said, drawing the judge's rebuke.
"I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar can state unequivocally that this is an unconstitutional order. It boggles my mind," Coughenour said. "Where were the lawyers when this decision was being made?"
Trump's executive order reinterpreting the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship -- long promised by Trump on the campaign trail -- is expected to spark a lengthy legal challenge that could define the president's sweeping immigration agenda.
Democratic attorneys general from 22 states and two cities have sued Trump over the executive order, and the president faces at least five separate lawsuits over the policy.
Thursday in Maryland, a federal judge held a pre-hearing conference by telephone in a challenge brought by two nonprofit groups and five pregnant undocumented women seeking to temporarily block the order from taking effect.
U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman asked the DOJ if the child of parents who are subject to the executive order is born this afternoon in the United States, whether they would be a United States citizen.
"As I read the executive order, the answer is yes," responded DOJ attorney Brad Rosenberg, who suggested that enforcement of the order will not begin until Feb. 19, based on Section 2(b) of the executive order, which directs agencies to stop issuing citizenship documents to newborns born 30 days after the order.
The DOJ argued that "any sort of temporary or emergency relief in the immediate short term is unnecessary and inappropriate," saying that, based on their knowledge, agencies "haven't taken any of the steps yet regarding enforcement of the order."
But plaintiffs were not convinced by the DOJ that the executive order will not be applied immediately to newborns.
"We think the executive order is maybe less clear than Mr. Rosenberg has suggested," plaintiff's attorney Joseph Mead said.
DOJ attorneys subsequently acknowledged that they have not had an opportunity to consult with the agencies on whether they have taken any steps to enforce the order.
The judge scheduled a hearing on the matter for Feb. 5.
In Seattle, Judge Coughenour scheduled Thursday's in-person hearing in the case brought by the attorneys general of Arizona, Oregon, Washington and Illinois. In a federal complaint filed on Tuesday, the four attorneys general argued that Trump's policy would unlawfully strip at least 150,000 newborn children each year of citizenship entitled to them by federal law and the 14th Amendment.
"The Plaintiff States will also suffer irreparable harm because thousands of children will be born within their borders but denied full participation and opportunity in American society," the lawsuit says. "Absent a temporary restraining order, children born in the Plaintiff States will soon be rendered undocumented, subject to removal or detention, and many stateless."
The lawsuit argues that enforcement of Trump's executive order would cause irreparable harm to the children born from undocumented parents by preventing them from enjoying their right to "full participation and opportunity in American society."
"They will lose their right to vote, serve on juries, and run for certain offices," the complaint says. "And they will be placed into lifelong positions of instability and insecurity as part of a new underclass in the United States."
Lawyers for the Department of Justice, now under new leadership, opposed the request for a temporary restraining order in a court filing Wednesday.
Taking effect next month, Trump's executive order seeks to reinterpret the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship by arguing a child born in the United States to an undocumented mother cannot receive citizenship unless his or her father is a citizen or green card holder.
While most countries confer a child's citizenship based on their parents, the United States and more than two dozen countries, including Canada and Mexico, follow the principle of jus soli or "right of the soil."
Following the Civil War, the United States codified jus soli through the passage of the 14th Amendment, repudiating the Supreme Court's finding in Dred Scott v. Sanford that African Americans were ineligible for citizenship.
"President Trump and the federal government now seek to impose a modern version of Dred Scott. But nothing in the Constitution grants the President, federal agencies, or anyone else authority to impose conditions on the grant of citizenship to individuals born in the United States," the states' lawsuit argued.
The Supreme Court further enshrined birthright citizenship in 1898 when it found that the San Francisco-born son of Chinese immigrants was an American citizen despite the Chinese Exclusion Act restricting immigration from China and prohibiting Chinese Americans from becoming naturalized citizens.
By seeking to end birthright citizenship, Trump's executive order centers on the same phrase within the 14th Amendment -- "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" -- that the Supreme Court considered in 1898. Trump's executive order argues that text of the 14th Amendment excludes children born of parents who are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States, such as people who are unlawfully in the U.S.
While legal scholars have expressed skepticism about the legality of Trump's executive order, the lawsuit could set the stage for a lengthy legal battle that ends up before the Supreme Court.

AI copy and paste don finish this lazy youth  SoftSport: I'm sorry you're experiencing this pain. Chronic sinusitis can be challenging, but there are steps you can take to manage and potentially alleviate the condition. Here's what you can try:
1. Consult a Specialist Visit an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for a detailed evaluation. You may need imaging tests like a CT scan to understand the extent of the infection and check for any blockages or abnormalities.
2. Medications Antibiotics: If the infection is bacterial, the correct antibiotic regimen may be necessary for a longer duration. Steroids: A doctor may prescribe nasal sprays or oral steroids to reduce inflammation. Decongestants: These can help drain your sinuses but should not be used for more than a few days without medical advice. Pain Management: Continue with pain relief but only as prescribed to avoid overuse.
3. Nasal Irrigation Use a saline nasal spray or perform nasal irrigation with a neti pot to flush out mucus and allergens from your sinuses. Make sure to use sterile or distilled water to avoid contamination.
4. Steam Inhalation Inhale steam from a bowl of hot water or use a humidifier to loosen mucus and ease nasal congestion. Add essential oils like eucalyptus or menthol for added relief.
5. Hydration Drink plenty of water to thin mucus and promote drainage. Avoid alcohol and caffeine as they can dehydrate you.
6. Warm Compress Apply a warm compress to your forehead and nose to relieve pressure and pain.
7. Lifestyle Adjustments Avoid Allergens and Irritants: Stay away from smoke, dust, and strong odors that can worsen your condition. Elevate Your Head: Sleep with your head elevated to promote sinus drainage.
8. Surgical Intervention (If Necessary) If medication and home remedies don't help, surgery (e.g., endoscopic sinus surgery) might be recommended to remove blockages and improve sinus drainage.
Warning Signs to Seek Immediate Help: Severe or worsening headache High fever Vision changes Swelling around the eyes or forehead
Chronic sinusitis can often be managed with the right treatment plan. Don’t lose hope, and ensure you follow up with a specialist. |

Business › European Oil Refineries Shutting Down Operations As Dangote Distrupts Market by Moony45(op): 4:34pm On Nov 25, 2024 |
Gunvor Group is temporarily halting its Rotterdam oil refinery because it’s not making enough money, the latest sign that the continent’s plants are struggling to compete with upstarts in other parts of the world. The company said in a statement that the refinery’s halt effective November 25 is due to a lack of prompt availability of commercially viable feedstock. Bloomberg quoted Gunvor to have said it will, “continue to monitor the situation and assess future resupply for the refinery in due course.” With a processing capacity of 75,000 barrels a day, the plant is relatively tiny. Still, it joins a growing list of European refineries with plans to either halt or downsize, including the Wesseling and Gelsenkirchen plants in Germany and the Grangemouth facility in Scotland. Europe’s refineries are under pressure from large, new plants, including in the Middle East and Africa, such as Nigeria’s giant new Dangote refinery. The rival fuel makers can send what they make to Europe, and also compete for market share elsewhere in the world. The Dangote Oil Refinery is a 650,000 barrels per day (BPD) integrated refinery situated in the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos, Nigeria. It is Africa’s biggest oil refinery and the world’s biggest single-train facility. The Pipeline Infrastructure at the Dangote Petroleum Refinery is the largest anywhere in the world, with 1,100 kilometers to handle three Billion Standard Cubic Foot of gas per day. The Refinery alone has a 435MW Power Plant that is able to meet the total power requirement of Ibadan DisCo. The Refinery is expected to meet 100 per cent of the Nigerian requirement of all refined products and also have a surplus of each of these products for export. It was designed to process Nigerian crude with the ability to also process other crude oil.
