Minnesota and Illinois Challenge ICE Surge as 10th Amendment Overreach

Minnesota and Illinois filed separate lawsuits against DHS/ICE, arguing the federal immigration crackdown infringes state sovereignty and local safety under the 10th Amendment. The suits, which seek to curb the federal surge in their states, present a novel, potentially first-impression argument about federalism in immigration enforcement. Legal experts say courts will decide whether the states’ interpretation of the 10th Amendment can limit federal powers, with Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul among the plaintiffs.

Roberts critiques the influence of Big Tech and the "Deep State" in diminishing individual freedoms, advocating for a revival of the frontier ethos to counteract centralized authority.

Attorney Shan Wu, in a Daily Beast column, advises the Supreme Court to refrain from intervening in state-level decisions regarding the potential barring of Donald Trump from the 2024 ballot.

He emphasizes the importance of federalism and the court's discretion to choose which cases to hear, suggesting that not taking these cases could prevent political entanglement and preserve the court's credibility.

Orban's Controversial Stances: EU Federalism, LGBTQ Rights, and Romania's Influence

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized the European Union (EU) for its "LGBTQ offensive" and called for the protection of Hungary's Christian roots. Orban, a long-standing critic of Brussels, expressed hope that the upcoming European parliament elections would strengthen governments within the bloc that reject the federalism represented by Germany and France. He also accused the EU of attempting to change the government in Hungary and Poland, both of which have clashed with the EU over issues such as the rule of law. Orban's anti-LGBT rhetoric has increased as Hungary faces economic troubles, with inflation exceeding 25% in the first quarter.

Controversy Surrounds House Republicans' Parents Bill of Rights Vote

Five House Republicans voted against the GOP's Parents Bill of Rights, which emphasizes parental rights in the classroom. The legislation mandates that schools post their curricula publicly, require that parents are allowed to meet with their children's teachers, and demand that schools provide parents with information when violence happens on school grounds. The Republicans who opposed the measure raised concerns about the federal government involving itself with local school districts and the bill's potential to undermine federalism. One congressman cited an amendment added to the legislation that "went too far" by targeting certain children.
