Blavity: Trump’s DOJ Lifts School Desegregation Order From The Civil Rights Era

This is a giant — and unnecessary — step backwards. Resegragation or — even worse — a return to “separate but equal” days may well follow.

“It probably means the opposite — that the school district remains segregated,” who worked in the DOJ Civil Rights Division during the Joe Biden administration, told the Associated Press. “And in fact, most of these districts are now more segregated today than they were in 1954.”

…

“It’s really just signaling that the backsliding that has started some time ago is complete,” antidiscrimination law professor at Tulane University Law School in New Orleans, Robert Westley said. “The United States government doesn’t really care anymore of dealing with problems of racial discrimination in the schools. It’s over.”

Huffington Post: Dem Says ICE Took Florida Mom From Baby, Unlawfully Deported Her To Cuba

Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) said Monday that a mom in her Tampa district was “ripped away” from her infant by ICE agents and unlawfully deported to Cuba.

In a letter to President Donald Trump, Castor urges him to “immediately” grant humanitarian parole for Heidy Sánchez, whose husband told Castor that ICE agents’ separation of Sanchez from her infant daughter was so traumatic that the baby was taken to the hospital.

Do you honestly think that King Donald is capable of doing anything “humanitarian”?

“The baby was still breastfeeding at the time your Administration tore them apart, and the baby’s ongoing health issues require her mother’s return to the U.S. as soon as possible,” Castor wrote to Trump.

“It is unconscionable and wrong for your ICE personnel to harm families in this way,” she said. “Ms. Sánchez is entitled to due process, and her husband and daughter (both U.S. citizens) deserve to be treated with the dignity we value as Americans.”

Miami Herald: Another U.S. Citizen Mistakenly Detained by ICE

Georgia citizen Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was arrested during a Florida traffic stop and detained by ICE. He was later charged under Florida’s SB 4-C, targeting undocumented immigrants who evade federal immigration inspection. A federal court has since blocked the law’s enforcement, and Lopez-Gomez was ultimately released from custody.

Washington Post: Her husband was mistakenly deported. Now she’s caught in a political frenzy.

Jennifer Vasquez Sura has fought to bring her husband, Kilmar Abrego García, home from a Salvadoran prison while caring for their three kids, two of whom are disabled.

The wife of Kilmar Abrego García, the Maryland man mistakenly deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration, has been moved to a safe house by supporters after U.S. officials posted a court document on social media that included the family’s address.

This is unconscionable: It seems that King Donald and his cronies are trying to make life as hellish as possible not only for the improperly deported Kilmar Abrego García but also for his wife and children.

“Secretary Hegseth was there to represent the administration,” the press secretary told the reporter Tuesday. “The president has expressed his condolences to these families, as have I, from this podium.”

Trump instead was in Florida, where he attended a tournament for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour at his Doral resort, before he traveled to his Palm Beach club for fundraising events.

Critics also questioned Trump’s decision to engage in a glitzy weekend that benefited his family’s wallet as the country panicked over tumbling stock markets caused by the president’s tariffs.

Real quickly, can you explain why the President opted to send Secretary Hegseth to the Dignified Transfer last week instead of attending himself? Sure.

In an article entitled “Trump Family’s Cash Registers Ring as Financial Meltdown Plays Out,” the Times reports, “The party was on at a Saudi-backed LIV Golf tournament at the president’s Doral resort in Florida and a fund-raiser at Mar-a-Lago, even as markets tumbled.”

The Guardian: Republicans are quietly trying to disenfranchise millions of voters

The so-called Save Act would strip millions of their access to the vote and make the process harder for everyone else

One such piece of legislation is the so-called Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or Save Act, which would require Americans seeking to register or re-register to vote to prove US citizenship. This dangerous bill would in effect strip millions of Americans of their access to the vote, while making the voting process more difficult and burdensome for everyone else. Rather than make our elections more secure, the Save Act would disenfranchise millions based on nothing but a series of debunked conspiracy theories.

Paula White-Cain, a televangelist and spiritual advisor to President Donald Trump, is facing criticism for a video in which she claims “supernatural blessings” will be released to those who donate to her ministry ahead of the Passover holiday.

In a video titled “Passover Season: God’s Divine Appointment With You!” posted March 23 on YouTube, White, 58, claims that honoring God during Passover, which begins April 12 at sundown, will unlock divine — and monetary — rewards.

“I believe that when you honor God on Passover starting on April 12th at sundown through Good Friday on the 18th and concluding on Easter Sunday, you can receive these seven supernatural blessings for you and your house,” she said.

Money Talks News: 26 Social Security Offices Expected to Close Down by This Fall

The Associated Press (AP) recently obtained an internal planning document from the General Services Administration, which manages federal real estate, that includes the dates on which some of those leases are expected to end. The AP also searched publicly available data to find additional information on these leases.

The publication identified 26 SSA offices that will close in 2025.

This news comes just after the SSA implemented stronger identity verification practices. Beneficiaries must now verify their identity in person before they can change their direct deposit information or claim benefits. Closing SSA locations will make it more difficult for beneficiaries in certain areas to do that.

The U.S. Sun: 14-year-olds to pull overnight shifts as US state moves to roll back child labor laws & combat ‘dirt cheap’ migrant work

14-year-olds to work overnight as immigrants get deported

In Florida, 16- and 17-year-olds are currently prohibited from working before 6:30 am and after 11 pm on school days.

They are also barred from working more than 30 hours a week during the school year.

A new proposal would remove all of those restrictions – including the requirement that teens get a meal break, the Miami Herald reported.

Governor Ron DeSantis supports the measure and argues it’s a way to address what he calls “dirt cheap” labor from illegal immigrants.
