Forbes: What To Know About Trump’s ‘Mass Deportation’ Push—As Major Cities And Mexico Brace For Surge
President Trump’s efforts to deport undocumented migrants have not yet significantly increased arrest numbers, which remain similar to those under the Biden administration. The administration has announced plans for mass arrests and deportations, particularly targeting sanctuary cities, but logistical challenges and budget constraints may delay these operations.
Local officials in sanctuary cities are responding variably, with some softening their opposition to avoid becoming targets. The Trump administration has expanded the powers of law enforcement agencies to aid in deportations and has canceled protections for sensitive locations like schools and churches. Economic implications of mass deportations could be significant, with estimates suggesting high costs and potential labor shortages.

Human Events: ADAM COLEMAN: As Trump cuts DEI, beware the euphemisms used to hide it
President Trump has signed an executive order banning Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, with plans to place DEI staff on administrative leave and ultimately fire them. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is under scrutiny for funding programs that promote Social-Emotional Learning (SEL), which critics argue are veiled attempts to introduce DEI principles in schools.
Funding through the STOP School Violence Program has reportedly reached over $100 million, impacting nearly 3 million K-12 students across 946 districts. Critics assert that these initiatives violate Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regulations and the Civil Rights Act by promoting discrimination under the guise of equity.
Fox News: House Republicans clear path for Trump to act on tariff plans
House Republicans are reintroducing the U.S. Reciprocal Trade Act, allowing President Trump to unilaterally impose tariffs on imports from various countries, with a requirement to notify Congress. Rep. Riley Moore argues this will help American manufacturing and counteract decades of job losses.
Trump plans to impose a 10% tariff on Chinese imports, citing issues like fentanyl trafficking. Critics, including Rep. Suzan DelBene, warn that such tariffs could increase consumer costs and provoke retaliatory measures, potentially harming the economy.
Fox News: Massie and other Republicans push 'National Constitutional Carry Act' to protect Americans' gun rights
Rep. Thomas Massie and several House Republicans are advocating for the "National Constitutional Carry Act," which would prevent states from imposing restrictions on the public carrying of firearms by eligible U.S. citizens. The measure aims to uphold the Second Amendment and eliminate barriers to gun ownership.
The proposal specifies that states cannot impose penalties or limitations on carrying firearms in public, except in areas where screening is mandated by law. It allows private property owners to enforce their own restrictions on firearms. The act has garnered support from numerous Republican lawmakers.

Human Events: MICHAEL BUSLER: Dem’s attacks on Dr Oz are about chilling debate on healthcare policy—not his stock portfolio
Dr. Mehmet Oz has been nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), provoking criticism from Democrats over his stock investments in healthcare companies like CVS Health and tech firms like Amazon and Microsoft. Critics argue these holdings present a conflict of interest, but others contend that his transparency in disclosing these investments undermines such claims.

As the healthcare system faces challenges, Dr. Oz's appointment could introduce innovative solutions to improve patient care.

Fox News: Trump intends to 'crush the academic left,' liberal columnist warns

She notes that his executive orders aim to investigate DEI programs and potentially deport foreign students involved in anti-Israel activism.
Goldberg argues that this crackdown is part of a broader strategy to control higher education and suppress dissenting views, raising concerns about the implications for academic freedom. The situation reflects a growing tension between the administration and liberal ideologies in educational institutions.

Forbes: Northern Lights Forecast: Aurora Borealis May Be Seen In More States Tonight—Here’s Where
A geomagnetic storm is expected to allow more northern U.S. states to view the northern lights, with a Kp index of five forecast for Friday and Saturday nights. This phenomenon is anticipated to extend visibility further south than usual, enhancing the experience for many.
