BREAKING: Following today's emergency hearing, Judge Brian Murphy orders the Trump administration to "maintain custody and control of class members currently being removed to South Sudan or to any other third country," such that he could order their return if needed.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Trump ends protected status for thousands of Afghans, Cameroonians Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem found that the conditions in Afghanistan and Cameroon no longer merited the protected status.

Not surprised. But still shocked

"Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem found that the conditions in #Afghanistan..no longer merited the protected status"

Despicable.

Madam Secretary, women cannot work or go to school or raise their voices in public under the #Taliban
