With a 5-4 v ote, the court wrote in its opinion that the order is squarely within the scope of Presidential authority. The 5-4 decision Tuesday is the court s first substantive ruling on a Trump administration policy. The president reacted to news of the ruling, tweeting Wow! SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS TRUMP TRAVEL BAN. Wow!mdash; Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump June 26, 2018 Mr. Trump later hailed the ruling as a tremendous victory for the American People and the Constitution. In a statement issued by the White House, he said, This ruling is also a moment of profound vindication following months of hysterical commentary from the media and Democratic politicians who refuse to do what it takes to secure our border and o ur country. As long as I am President, I will defend the sovereignty, safety, and security of the American People, and fight for an immigration system that serves the national interests of the United States and its citizens.

Flnw Civil rights icon Julian Bond dies age 75 The number of Americans applying for jobless aid is increasing, marking the first rise in months, as the coronavirus spreads across the nation.Some 1.4 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits in the week ended July 18, adjusting for seasonal variations, the Labor Department said Thursday. It s an increase from the prior week, when 1.3 million applied.Another 975,000 people requested Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, a new federal program for self-employed and gig workers. That figure increased by 20,000 from the previous week. This marks the 17th week in a row that total jobless claims have been above 2 million. But claims for regular unempl oyment had been dropping since the last week of March, when they peaked a 6.6 million, until this past week s increase to 1.4 million from 1.3 million. The 15 consecutive weeks of declines in U.S. initial claims from record high levels is over, Jennifer Lee, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets Economics, wrote in a note. But given that the resurgence in the number of COVID-19 cases around parts of the country has led to a reversal in restrictions, this was expected. The biggest jumps in unemployment applications were in Florida, Georgia, California, Washington and Indiana, states that have seen sharp increases in the number of COVID-19 cases. The risk from repeated business closures is that temporary job losses will become perm anent. This could result in an eve Jdks Rose Bowl unveils statue commemorating Brandi Chastain and the 1999 Women s World Cup team Opelousas, La. mdash; The FBI has joined the investigation into a string of suspicious fires at historically black churches in Louisiana. Three churches have burned in less than two weeks in St. Landry Parish near Baton Rouge.The fire at Greater Union Baptist Tuesday burned from the roof to the pews. For Pastor Harry Richard, whose grandfather helped sta rt the church more than 100 years ago, the damage is personal. He left a legacy for me and I was trying to fulfill that to the best of my ability, he said. The suspicious fires began early last week, with the most recent one on Thursday. All three historically black baptist churches are just a few miles apart in St. Landry Parish. We do believe that this fire is suspicious. We do believe a crime has occurred, said Louisiana State Fire Marshal H. Butch Browning. Historically, the burning of black churches was used to intimidate communities and parishioners here are on edge. We can t let this setback stop us from doing what God initially called us to do, said Kyle Sylvester, the pastor of St. Mary s Baptist Church, the first that was burned.The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the FBI are involved in the investigation. But the fire marshal said it s too early to categorize any of the fires as hate crimes. We re gonna solve this.

Szrs Fan who caught game-winning Seahawks ball talks plans The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit Tuesday against seven Texas towns that have passed local laws banning abortion.The towns ordinances claim to ban abortion, some kinds of reproductive health offerings, like birth control and emergency contraception including Plan B. Though none of the towns have clinics that provide abortions, the regulations say they prohibit those facilities fro m opening.In its filing, the ACLU claims the ordinances violate the constitution and mislead residents as to whether individuals can in fact exercise their right to access abortion. The plaintiffs in the suit, Texas Equal Access Fund and Lilith Fund for Reproductive Equity advocate for education about abortion access. The ACLU suit says they have been deemed criminal organizations by the local ordinances, as have six other organizations that promote abortion rights.Part of the ordinances would not take effect unl ess the Supreme Court overturned existing laws, including Roe V. Wade, but the existence of the ordinances limit education efforts and create confusion about abortion rights, the ACLU claims. The towns passed the ordinances to block clinics from moving to Texas following the passage of stricter laws in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, the ACLU suit said, citing a local news report that quoted the Mayor of Waskom, a small town in East Texas.Waskom was the first town to declare itself a sanctuary city for the unborn.

Our goal is to make The District a community hub, so why not bring everyone together for the greater good. With so many diverse restaurants in The District, it was not a great leap for us to come up with a way to feed others in need. Each restaurant will donate 10% of sales from 4:00 to 11:45 p.m. to the Salvation Army of Clearwater and Upper Pinellas County. All the donations will go directly to feeding local families.Demand for assistance has sky rocketed in the Tampa Bay area since the pandemic began. Food banks are having difficulty trying to feed every family in need. According to Feeding America, 25% of our child ren may go hungry each night, explains Carolyn Bradham, owner of Kara Lynns Restaurant and co-chair of DCMA.

Gvqo Dinner, concerts, and prioritizing fun: is the soft life as risky as it seems A Florida jury found Johns Hopkins All Children s Hospital liable on all seven claims in the Take Care of Maya trial last week, but the end of that case may not mean the end of the hospital s legal trouble related to it.Maya Kowalski is now filing a criminal complaint against the hospital for an alleged sexual assault that happened while the then 10-year-old girl was in its care.She went to the Pinellas County Sheriff s Office on Nov. 10, a day after the other court case wrapped, to swear ou t the complaint, the family s attorney, Gregory Anderson, said.Anderson first addressed the alleged assault very early in the civil trial, outside the presence of a jury.He said he had asked Maya if she had told him every encounter she had at the hospital, and he said she then told him of an instance when a man she assumed was a doctor came in and said, May I take a peek The man then pulled down the child s pajamas and underwear then stared at her privates for long enough for her to be not only startled but start to cry, Anderson told the court of her story. The doctor then walked to the door and said thanks, and she never saw him again, Anderson claimed.At that time in the trial, Anderson had told the court he wanted to corroborate the story before bringing it forward, but he said he had at that point because Maya was able to locate a wi tness: a young friend of hers she had told about the alleged incident a little less than two years after she said it happened.
