Rojas faces multiple charges, including performing illegal abortions without a license, while Ley is charged with unlawful abortion practices.

CNSNews: Judge Who Blocked Trump's Gang Deportations Spared FBI Russiagate Forger from Jail
Judge James Boasberg, who previously denied jail time for former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith despite his guilty plea for forging evidence related to the Trump campaign, has now blocked the deportation of 200 Venezuelan gang members. This has led to accusations of a conflict of interest due to his daughter's work defending illegal aliens.
In response, Rep. Brandon Gill has filed articles of impeachment against Boasberg, claiming he is guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors for his rulings. The situation raises concerns about judicial impartiality and the handling of cases involving illegal immigration.
Fox News: New GOP proposal unshackles victims of sanctuary policies to demand accountability: 'Reset our system'
Rep. Darrell Issa has introduced the Sanctuary City Accountability Act, allowing victims of crimes linked to sanctuary policies to sue local governments. This legislation aims to hold jurisdictions accountable for limiting cooperation with federal immigration laws, which Issa argues endangers citizens.
The bill would enable U.S. nationals to seek damages in cases where crimes were committed by undocumented immigrants in sanctuary areas. This proposal follows the failure of San Diego County to repeal its "super sanctuary" policy, which has drawn criticism from local Republicans who believe it compromises public safety.

The Telegraph: The collapse of Trump’s Gaza ceasefire is bad omen for peace in Ukraine
President Trump experienced mixed outcomes in his diplomatic efforts. Following a conversation with Vladimir Putin, Russia agreed to a partial ceasefire with Ukraine, potentially paving the way for further negotiations. However, a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas collapsed, leading to renewed violence in Gaza, with Trump’s administration blaming Hamas for the breakdown.
Despite initially taking credit for the Gaza ceasefire, Trump appeared to lose interest as hostilities resumed, failing to exert pressure on Netanyahu for a resolution. His approach raises concerns about whether he will similarly disengage from the Ukraine conflict, depending on the dynamics between Zelensky and Putin.

Fox News: Former Obama official worries Trump will get credit for Russia-Ukraine ceasefire
Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul expressed concerns that a potential ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, facilitated by former President Trump, may primarily serve Trump's ego and legacy. He warned that Trump could claim credit for ending the war, overshadowing the complexities of the situation.
McFaul suggested that any ceasefire might result from Trump making significant concessions to Putin, potentially undermining Ukraine's position. He emphasized that while the desire for peace is universal, Trump's approach could lead to further aggression and concessions from Russia.
Fox News: GOP lawmakers praise Trump call with Putin after Biden 'refused to even pick up the phone'
