The Federalist: Where Was The Outrage When Obama Deported Illegals?
The Trump administration's upcoming deportation plans are expected to expand beyond criminal illegal aliens to include non-criminal workers. This shift may provoke a backlash from immigration advocates who previously remained silent during past Democratic administrations' deportation efforts.
The article highlights a perceived hypocrisy in the response to deportations, noting that similar actions by Democratic leaders like Obama and Clinton faced little protest. It suggests that the current outrage is politically motivated, framing Trump's policies as a continuation of established practices rather than a departure from them.

Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) has introduced the "No Student Visas for Sanctuary Cities Act," aimed at penalizing sanctuary cities that violate federal immigration laws by blocking student visas for institutions in those areas. The bill seeks to hold these jurisdictions accountable for aiding illegal immigrants.
Hageman argues that sanctuary cities undermine the rule of law and prioritize illegal aliens over their citizens. The legislation, co-sponsored by several Republican representatives, defines sanctuary jurisdictions as those that obstruct cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Senate Republicans face pressure regarding the nomination of Ed Martin as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. With a 12-10 majority, opposition from Sen. Thom Tillis could block Martin's confirmation, risking a vacancy that would allow the D.C. District Court to appoint a successor.

The Federalist: The Black Woman Statue In Times Square Is Cultural Warfare
A new bronze statue of an anonymous overweight black woman has been installed in Times Square, sparking debate about its significance. Critics argue that it represents a shift away from honoring historical American figures, suggesting it promotes a narrative that undermines traditional concepts of greatness.
The statue is seen as part of a broader cultural agenda by the left to redefine public monuments and challenge the legacy of historical figures like Jefferson and Roosevelt. This move is framed as an effort to elevate identity politics over individual accomplishments, with the implication that all individuals from certain groups are inherently deserving of recognition.
