The "Remain in Mexico" policy forced migrants
seeking asylum in the United States to

The policy was put in place by the Trump administration
to prevent migrants from being released into the U.S.
while waiting for a decision from immigration.

On this reading, every presidential
administration in an unbroken line for
the past quarter century has been in open
violation of the [Immigration and Nationality
Act]. If Congress wanted to mandate
those results, it would have spoken clearly, Elizabeth Prelogar, U.S. Solicitor General, via Fox News.
Justice Clarence Thomas echoed
Preloger's stance during oral arguments. .
Thomas reportedly questioned whether it was
an "odd" decision for Congress to pass a law

Medieval Times , Workers Looking to Form , the Company's First Union.
Huffpost reports that employees of Medieval Times
have launched a union campaign looking
to improve compensation and safety. .
According to workers, safety concerns are a big reason Medieval Times employees in Lydhurst, New Jersey are trying to form the chain's first union.
Huffpost reports that the workers have been working with the American Guild of Variety Artists, a union representing performers at theaters, theme parks and touring shows.
On July 15, knights, squires and stablehands
will vote on whether or not to unionize. .
The vote will be overseen by the
National Labor Relations Board.
According to Huffpost,
Medieval Times has opposed the formation
of a union by their employees.
If the union is successfully formed in
New Jersey, the campaign could spread to other
Medieval Times locations throughout the country.
Currently, the Texas-based chain
operates nine locations around the U.S.,
and another location in Toronto, Canada.
Workers claim that inadequate staffing
amid a tight labor market has contributed
to a number of safety concerns. .
If you mix children, alcohol and animals,
it can be a very interesting situation
if you don’t have enough eyes on it.
Not having enough event staff,
that puts a lot of people at risk, Anonymous Medieval Times worker, via Huffpost.

This Day in History: , The Hindenburg Disaster.
May 6, 1937.
36 passengers and crew
members were killed when
the Hindenburg exploded as it touched
its mooring mast in Lakehurst, NJ.
The luxury passenger zeppelin
had left Frankfurt, Germany,
three days earlier.
Constructed in Nazi Germany,
the 804 foot-long Hindenburg
was the largest dirigible ever built.
The zeppelin was lifted
by the highly flammable
gas, hydrogen.
It is thought the cause
of the explosion was a spark
that ignited the dirigible's hydrogen core.
Radio announcer
Herb Morrison witnessed
the disaster live, famously
declaring, "Oh the humanity!".
His commentary became
part of America's first
coast-to-coast radio news broadcast.
Passenger travel by
zeppelin never recovered
after the disaster
