"Mayorkas Criticizes Texas Gov. Abbott's Call for Biden to Use Executive Authority on Border"

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas criticized Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for suggesting President Biden use executive authority to address the southern border, emphasizing the need for Congress to act on immigration reform. Mayorkas accused Abbott of refusing to collaborate with the Biden administration and criticized his role in busing migrants to Democratic-led cities. The Biden administration is considering executive action to restrict migrants' ability to seek asylum at the US-Mexico border, and Mayorkas defended Biden's recent visit to the border, emphasizing the need for bipartisan solutions. Additionally, Mayorkas faced questions about his impeachment by the US House but declined to comment on the Senate's handling of the charges.

"Biden Explores Executive Actions for Border Security Ahead of 2024 Election"

President Biden is considering using a 1952 law to restrict access to the U.S. asylum system and curb illegal crossings at the southern border, a move that could be announced within the next two weeks. This potential executive action comes as the Biden administration grapples with record levels of migrant arrivals and seeks to address the border situation ahead of the 2024 election.

"Speaker Johnson Asserts Trump's Lack of Influence on House Border Deal"

Speaker Mike Johnson denies that former President Trump is influencing decisions in the House regarding a potential border deal, asserting that he is the one "calling the shots."

Johnson maintains that Trump's influence is not affecting his decisions and emphasizes the need to address the border issue.

"Trump's Delusion of Kingship: Colorado Supreme Court's Historic Ruling"

The Supreme Court is considering whether to take up the question of presidential immunity, which would have profound consequences for both the 2024 election and the broader issue of presidential power. The court should rule on this question on an accelerated timetable to determine whether a president is entitled to broad protections from legal consequences for actions taken while in office. If the court delays, it could prevent a trial before the election and allow Trump to call off the prosecution if he wins. The court's decision will not only impact accountability for Jan. 6 but also how future presidents are treated. Trump's argument for absolute immunity is unfounded, and if the court endorses it or delays the decision, it will reveal a willingness to act in favor of the leading Republican contender and undermine its own credibility.

Supreme Court backs Biden's immigration policies in recent ruling.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that the Biden administration can continue to focus its immigration enforcement policies on those who pose a threat or have recently entered the country, rather than targeting all noncitizens who have lived in the US for years. The court also said that states generally lack the legal standing to challenge the federal government’s priorities on whom to arrest or prosecute. The decision could enhance presidential discretion in enforcement priorities in other areas of law. The ruling was 8-1, with Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. the lone dissenter.
