The Supreme Court has agreed to an early hearing on petitions challenging the Election Commission's Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar, scheduled for Thursday.

500,000 Immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela at Risk | SC backs Trump’s ANTI-IMMIGRANT policies

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing it to end the Biden-era humanitarian parole program that granted temporary legal status to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. The decision potentially paves the way for the deportation of over 500,000 migrants. Liberal justices, including Jackson and Sotomayor, dissented, citing the ruling’s human cost. The case highlights the ongoing legal battle over immigration authority and could influence future policies, including birthright citizenship. #SupremeCourt #ImmigrationPolicy #Trump #BidenEraRollback #HumanitarianParole #MigrantRights #Deportation #SCOTUSRuling #LatinAmericaMigrants #ParoleProgram #ImmigrationReform #JacksonDissent #Sotomayor #USImmigration #Cuba #Haiti #Nicaragua #Venezuela #LegalStatus #HomelandSecurity #BirthrightCitizenship #TrumpImmigration #ImmigrationCrisis #SCOTUSWatch #BidenPolicy #ImmigrationDebate #USBorderCrisis #MigrantDeportation #FederalLaw #SupremeCourtNews Also Read Trump Administration Halts New Student Visa Interviews While Considering Social Media Vetting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-halts-student-visa-interviews-social-media-vetting-011-4165557.html?ref=DMDesc Government Evaluates Impeachment Motion Against Justice Yashwant Varma Amid Probe Findings :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/government-weighs-impeachment-motion-against-justice-varma-011-4165553.html?ref=DMDesc Supreme Court Halts Bhushan Power Liquidation Pending JSW Steel's Review Plea :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/supreme-court-halts-bhushan-power-liquidation-pending-jsw-steels-review-plea-4163971.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.122~

U.S President Donald Trump touched down in Iowa for a fiery rally just hours after Congress passed his $4.5 trillion ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. In front of a raucous crowd at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Trump celebrated the massive tax cut and border security package — calling it the biggest legislative win of his presidency. Trump slammed Democrats for voting against the bill, warning they will “regret this forever.” The former president praised Republicans for delivering on core promises and said the legislation will launch the U.S. into “a rocket ship economy.” With 2024 behind him and 2028 in sight, Trump declared that this victory marks a turning point in America’s future.
