The Trump administration filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday against the state of New York, challenging a law that restricts immigration agents from making arrests at courthouses. The administration argued that the measure intentionally provides cover for individuals it deems dangerous, the AP reports.
Filed in the Northern District of New York, the case marks yet another legal battle between the federal government and jurisdictions the administration accuses of obstructing immigration enforcement efforts.

Norway was slammed for its absurd double standards when, on the same day it announced the imposition of sanctions on Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, law-abiding citizens, it welcomed the foreign minister of Iran, the world’s leading sponsor of terror, with open arms. Norway joined the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in the unprecedented step of imposing sanctions on senior government members of the only democracy in the Middle East. Meanwhile, Norway is hosting Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oslo, where he was invited to speak at the 22nd Oslo Forum and has meetings scheduled with senior officials from Norway and other countries.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) issued a fiery response after Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) was forcibly taken out of a Department of Homeland Security press event and placed in handcuffs following a heated confrontation with Secretary Kristi Noem.
The disruption occurred Thursday in Los Angeles when Padilla began shouting during Noem’s remarks, refusing to stand down. Security agents quickly intervened, removed him from the room, and eventually restrained him on the ground before applying handcuffs.

He Gave All He Could. Now It’s Our Turn. Love saved Moishy once. Let’s make it save him again. Moishy is just nine months old. He was born healthy — a beautiful third child to committed, working parents. But weeks later, all that changed. His parents rushed him back to the hospital. Something was terribly wrong. Doctors found a rare, life-threatening condition, nearly impossible to diagnose in time. His health declined rapidly. In a last-ditch effort of love, Moishy’s father, Eli, donated part of his own liver to save his baby’s life.  It worked. But only for a while.  Now, Moishy needs urgent heart surgery and innovative treatments. He’s too small and weak for standard care. Only top specialists can help — but at a cost that’s far beyond his family’s means.

The CIA released nearly 1,500 pages of previously classified documents relating to New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and his 1968 assassination on Thursday, detailing the spy agency’s work to investigate his killing as well as previously unknown contacts between him and the agency. Kennedy met with the CIA following a 1955 tour of the Soviet Union, relaying his observations to the spy agency as a voluntary informant, the documents show. The newly available material comprises 54 documents, including memos about the agency’s work to investigate whether RFK’s killer had any foreign ties, as well as the response to his killing by foreign powers. The records also included documents about the assassinations of President John F.

Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon delivered a sharp rebuke of the UN for its failure to address the recent killing of humanitarian workers in Gaza by Hamas, while the General Assembly instead focused on a resolution urging a ceasefire. Speaking to the press outside the UN chamber, Danon expressed outrage at the body’s priorities.
“Last night, Hamas murdered at least five Palestinian aid workers in Gaza. They ambushed a bus clearly marked and carrying over two dozen humanitarian staff from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Several others were injured, some may have been taken hostage,” Danon stated, calling attention to the brutal assault.

Sullivan County Sheriff Michael Schiff demonstrated his ongoing commitment to safety once again, hosting a meeting that had Jewish community leaders and law enforcement officials joining together to discuss multiple issues in advance of the nine week-long summer season.

President Donald Trump enacted a new law that strikes down California’s effort to eliminate sales of new gasoline-powered cars by the year 2035.
The bill was officially signed by Trump on Thursday in the White House’s East Room during a formal ceremony.
“I want to thank everybody for being here. We officially rescue the U.S. auto industry from destruction by terminating the California electric vehicle mandate once and for all,” Trump declared to a round of applause as he finalized the legislation.
Trump criticized the previous policy, noting its national ripple effects: “They’d pass these crazy rules in California, and…17 states would go by ’em, and the automakers didn’t know what to do, because they’re really building cars for two countries,” he said.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge said Thursday that he plans to rule

The House overwhelmingly passed bipartisan legislation Thursday that would solidify federal policies cracking down on the synthetic opioid fentanyl and its analogs in a bid by lawmakers to combat the nation’s opioid epidemic. The HALT Fentanyl Act makes permanent a 2018 emergency rule that classifies knockoffs of fentanyl as Schedule I controlled substances, which results in harsher sentences for possession of the drug. The bill passed the House 321-104 and now heads to President Donald Trump for his signature.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles turned chaotic on Thursday when California Senator Alex Padilla was forcefully removed from the venue after repeatedly disrupting the event. The briefing, which centered on the city’s escalating unrest linked to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions, took a dramatic turn when Padilla clashed with Noem over her remarks.
As Noem criticized California’s leadership, accusing them of undermining federal efforts and aligning with “socialist” ideologies, Padilla interrupted loudly from the crowd. “Secretary, I want to know why you insist on exaggerating and embellishing,” he shouted, attempting to speak over her.

This coming Sunday will mark the end of Ronen Bar’s term as the Shin Bet chief. Since the confirmation of the next Shin Bet chief, Major General David Zini, is expected to take another several weeks, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu made a decision on Thursday to assign the responsibility to “S.,” who currently serves as the Shin Bet deputy chief. S. will fill the position temporarily for a month or until the completion of Zini’s appointment process—whichever comes first. Attorney-General Gali Baharav-Miara, who ruled that Netanyahu is “not allowed” to appoint the next Shin Bet chief due to what she claims is a “conflict of interest,” approved the appointment of S. for up to a month due to “exceptional circumstances that have arisen” and as not to harm state security.

A viral video of Jews wrapping tefillin with “overwhelmingly positive reception” is enough to get one suspended from a country club in Boca Raton, Fla.
That’s according to the Dhillon Law Group, which filed a lawsuit on behalf of an Orthodox Jewish family that said it was unfairly suspended from the Boca Grove Country Club for practicing its Jewish faith.
