Next round of congenital citizenship fight, Ding Ding,
A federal judge in New HampshireJust said he would block the Trump administrationBy applyingPresident TrumpExecutive order limiting congenital citizenship. This is the first challenge as the Supreme Court withdrew the capacity of the judges to issue nationwide prohibition.
Lecturer: The Supreme Court’s decision left a path open for challenges to record class action cases. Today, the judge allowed the case to proceed as a class action, which has a practical effect as nationwide prohibition.
^ Take care: This step is the next natural step for challenges for the order of Trump. “After a recent Supreme Court’s decision, after limiting nationwide prohibitions, the cases are structured as class action, effectively the only ones that can prevent President’s policies in broad sections of the country.” ,NYT,

⛑ Texas flood
How do we stop it from reworning?,
President Trump To damage the deadly fourth of the July flood, plans to visit Texas on Friday, killing at least 120 people. At least 173 people Still missingAnd rescue efforts Have become Efforts to recover.
This comes because initial assessments raise questions about the alert system – as well as disaster response.
Two big questions:
1) Was people alert along the Gwadalup River because the water increased by more than 26 feet in an hour during the night?
The horrific floods have highlighted the weaknesses in the emergency warning system. There was no siren or alarm to warn the local people of danger. CBS News Jason Alan Reports Ker County has a web-based emergency alert system called Kodard, but delayed while waiting for the Supervisor Authority.
John David Trollinger, a former Ker County Officer who helped install the system, but has since retired, Told CBS, “I thought, man, someone can die because I am arguing with a dispatcher there who does not know who I am or remember my name,” he said. “And there was no way that I was going to interrupt their process because it is, you know, it is five o’clock, someone is just found in the night, apart from the night, in addition to the night, in addition to the night.”
Why did Ker County not have a siren?: Many Texas Counties have a siren system to warn flash floods, but Ker County Rejected the proposal Due to cost.
Texas Tribune Emily Foxhall Reports The officers had 3-hours and 21 minutes of head-ups. “Local authorities have not warned when they warned or did they see them on time to take action.”
2) How has the disaster response?
CNN is Gab cohen And Michael Williams Report The reaction of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was slowed by the bureaucracy kept by the Motherland Security Secretary Christy nomAs a measure of cost cuts, the NOEM required your personal sign-off at any fund over $ 100,000 before the release of NOEM. This means that the urban discovery and rescue crew in anticipation of the FEMA event was not capable in pre-state.
Keep in mind that officers Warned last month NOEM policy can delay the distribution of assistance during natural disasters.
Noam is Rescuing His response.
He said, “What President Trump has empowered us to do, is to run these states and local emergency management officers who give the best answers to their communities, and we are a support that comes with us and when they need us, come with them,” he said.
