WASHINGTON (AP) — Seventeen immigration court judges have been fired in recent days, according to the union that represents them, as the Trump administration pushes forward with its mass deportations of immigrants in the country. “It’s outrageous and against the public interest that at the same time Congress has authorized 800 immigration judges, we are firing large numbers of immigration judges without cause,” said the union’s President Matt Biggs. AdvertisementImmigration court judges are also dealing with a massive backlog of roughly 3.5 million cases that ballooned in recent years. The union said that rather than speeding up the immigration court process, the Justice Department’s firings would actually make the backlogs worse. The union said that it can take as long as a year to recruit, hire and train new immigration court judges.

The murder counts in the deaths of former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, could carry the federal death penalty. He allegedly shot the senator nine times, and Yvette Hoffman eight times, but they survived.

Boelter also faces state murder and attempted murder charges in Hennepin County, but the federal case will go first. Tim Walz, Harris’s running mate on the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket, eulogized Melissa Hortman as “the most consequential speaker in Minnesota history.”

Jessica (played by Megan Stalter) in Too Much on Netflix Netflix / Too MuchIt hasn’t even been out for a week yet, but Too Much has already given us plenty to talk about.

Here's What No One Is Telling You About The Tragic Texas Floods. Despite the horror, these children were not the first young Americans to have their futures destroyed by climate change. That’s just one of the ways that climate change is quietly rewriting our priorities. Climate change is already reshaping childhood. The Texas floods highlighted another blind spot: Every summer, 26 million American children attend camps, often in areas particularly vulnerable to floods or extreme heat, with almost no oversight or preparation for the new climate realities.

AdvertisementBut between Reagan and the second Bush came a sea change in how the party viewed federal debt. In the end, his tax increases effectively undid about half of his tax cuts. Embracing debtThe irony of the debt explosion in recent years is how quickly the country’s long-term financial outlook has changed. The presidential candidate who won the 2000 election had promised sweeping tax cuts and immediately worked to enact them after taking office. Advertisement“We have a problem of Republicans beginning tax cuts on a partisan basis, and then Democrats being afraid not to extend them,” Kogan said.

The tour came after some Democrats were blocked earlier from viewing the 3,000-bed detention center that the state rapidly built on an isolated airstrip surrounded by swampland. Advertisement“There are really disturbing, vile conditions and this place needs to be shut the hell down,” Rep. U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Florida, told reporters after visiting. “It’s a detention center, not the Four Seasons.”Journalists weren’t allowed on the tour, and lawmakers were instructed not to bring phones or cameras inside. Five Democratic state lawmakers tried to visit the site when it opened July 3 but said they were denied access. The lawmakers have sued over the denial, saying that DeSantis’ administration is impeding lawmakers’ oversight authority.
