Fox News: Sanctuary state's 'green light' law is red flag for Americans' safety, national security: experts
New York's "green light law," which allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses while restricting federal agents' access to their driving records, is facing criticism for endangering public safety. Experts argue that this law hampers law enforcement's ability to assess risks during traffic stops, potentially putting officers' lives at risk.
The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against New York officials over the law, claiming it prioritizes the rights of illegal immigrants over American citizens. Proponents argue the law improves road safety, but law enforcement insists it complicates efforts to target individuals with serious criminal backgrounds.

Fox News: Medicaid becomes flashpoint in House debate over Trump budget bill
House Republicans are facing internal strife over proposed cuts to Medicaid as they negotiate a budget reconciliation bill aimed at advancing President Trump's agenda. Concerns have been raised about the potential impact of $880 billion in cuts, with some lawmakers fearing it could harm vital services for constituents.
Conservative members are pushing for significant spending cuts to offset Trump's tax policies, but moderates express worries about the feasibility and consequences of such reductions. As the GOP navigates its slim majority, Democrats are poised to capitalize on the discord within the party regarding Medicaid funding.
Fox News: Bipartisan probation reform modeled off DeSantis and Jay-Z efforts primed for passage in VA
Bipartisan lawmakers in Virginia are advancing a criminal justice reform bill inspired by a 2022 Florida law. The legislation allows convicts on supervised probation to reduce their probation periods by meeting certain criteria, such as maintaining employment or participating in rehabilitation programs.
Supporters, including State Del. Wren Williams and Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears, argue this approach emphasizes rehabilitation and second chances, aiming to lower recidivism and promote public safety. The Democratic-majority Senate is set to vote on the bill, which will then be sent to Gov. Glenn Youngkin for review.
Fox News: Pro-union Trump nominee faces Senate grilling as at least one Republican vows to oppose her
Former Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer is set for a confirmation hearing before the Senate HELP committee to become the next Secretary of Labor. Her support for the PRO Act, which opposes right-to-work laws, has drawn criticism, particularly from Sen. Rand Paul, who plans to vote against her.
Chavez-DeRemer, nominated by President Trump, is expected to address concerns regarding her stance on labor laws during the hearing. If Paul votes "no," her nomination could face challenges in securing the necessary votes for confirmation in the full Senate.

A Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis crashed while landing at Toronto Pearson Airport, leaving the plane upside down. All 80 passengers were evacuated, with 19 injured and three critically hospitalized. Video footage shows passengers evacuating as emergency protocols were followed.

Fox News: Conservative-leaning enclave in blue state drives down crime as residents of liberal counties pay price
Kittitas County Sheriff Clay Myers reports that despite Washington state's overall rise in crime, his conservative-leaning county has maintained stable crime rates. He attributes this success to community support for law enforcement and a better police-to-citizen ratio compared to the state average.
Myers emphasizes the importance of local government backing and community engagement in policing. He notes that while many areas in Washington struggle with crime, Kittitas County's proactive approach and community expectations have helped keep crime rates flat, even amid population growth.
