The Court’s deportation lunacy, progs are losing — – Latest News
Legal take: The Court’s Deportation Lunacy
“The Supreme Court says illegal aliens” deserve due course of “before they are spirited away to their countries of origin,” and “liberal activists are celebrating a fundamental right,” grumbles the Washington Times’ editorial board.
But liberals’ objectives appear more about “perpetuating lawlessness at the border” than justice.
Meanwhile, a federal choose ruled “President Trump couldn’t reverse President Biden’s unilateral decision” to “parole” over 500,000 unlawful immigrants “from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela” into the US.

The choose insists “that what Mr. Biden accomplished with a stroke of his autopen can’t be undone by Mr. Trump without ‘case-by-case review’ ” — which “would take 350 years” to finish.
Yet the law that lets the administration set parole coverage “is unambiguous.” The Supreme Court should “apply common sense and curb these judicial interventions.”

Crime beat: Progs Are Losing — however Won’t Quit
“After spikes in homicides and other offenses, which sparked fears of a return to the bloody New York of the 1990s, major crime in New York City has headed toward historic lows,” reviews Rafael A. Mangual at The New York Times.
The failed “progressive policy experiment that kept criminals out of prison and jail” has been changed “with increased enforcement, concentrated in areas of New York City with the most crime.”
But progressives nonetheless “push to abolish gang databases,” restrict “gunshot detection technology” and refuse “modest” tweaks to “the state’s 2019 discovery changes.”
Some appear “more concerned about criminals” than victims. Like the left and proper within the Nineteen Eighties and ’90s, we need to succeed in a “consensus on crime control” earlier than issues go unhealthy.
Free-speech watch: Trump vs. the Censors
Team Trump “has demonstrated a dogged devotion to dismantling and destroying” the “censorship-industrial complex,” notes Ben Weingarten at The Federalist.
Next up? The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which served as “ ‘nerve center’ of fed-led speech policing.”
Trump “tasked the attorney general and secretary of homeland security with investigating” CISA and “laid off more than 100 CISA staffers,” whereas slicing “entities involved in 2020 censorship-related efforts.”
Yet “to date, no one has faced justice for imposing arguably the greatest censorship regime in U.S. history upon the American people.”
And “the legislative branch must codify the administration’s policies to ensure the speech policing apparatus does not once again spring into action under a future president.”
Conservative: Social-Media Is Hurting Dems
Thanks to social media, “one public school teacher with a TikTok account, green hair, and a septum piercing can hijack a political movement,” quips National Review’s Christian Schneider.
That truth has “tipped” the Democratic Party “hard toward the loudest and most ideologically rigid participants.”
Take social-media star AOC: She has “the worst approval rating of any Democratic politician measured by a February Gallup poll.”
But “the overly online left actually believes that the tonic for the losses of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris in the past decade is to run an even less qualified candidate who is significantly further to the left.”
“Democrats can still win elections,” however “the long-term prognosis for a party that is increasingly defined by its most performative wing is not good.”
Energy desk: An EV ‘Off-Ramp’ for Dems
“Realizing that electric-vehicle mandates are costly and politically unpopular,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore “is doing a U-turn on his state’s EV mandate” by “delaying penalties for manufacturers that don’t meet their EV sales quotas,” cheer The Wall Street Journal’s editors.
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin first “unchained his state” from the foundations, which might have damage “Maryland auto dealers and state sales tax revenue,” since “Maryland residents could cross the Potomac to buy the gas-powered car they want.”
Moore claims “Trump forced his hand” with tariffs, however the actual downside is EVs aren’t promoting.
“Even with subsidies EVs are already too expensive for most middle-class Americans, and their limited range can make them impractical.”
Still, “Moore is showing fellow Democrats an off-ramp from their EV blunder.”
