The Supreme Court is hearing arguments this week on the constitutionality of President Trump's move to end birthright citizenship. An executive order, signed on Trump's first day back in office, declares children born to parents without permanent legal status would no longer be automatically granted citizenship.
The policy "is deeply illegal, unconstitutional and morally wrong," says Cody Wofsy, deputy director of the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project. The ACLU is representing all children targeted by Trump's executive order in a class-action lawsuit. Wofsy says roughly 5 million U.S.-born children would be affected by the order over the next 20 years.

A Russian tanker carrying around 700,000 barrels of crude oil has arrived in the port of Matanzas, Cuba, breaking the U.S. blockade imposed by President Trump three months ago. Fuel shortages in Cuba have caused dayslong blackouts and have brought all sectors of the country to the brink of collapse.
The White House is claiming the arrival of the Russian tanker, unimpeded by the United States, does not signal a "formal change in sanction policy," and said U.S. decisions on shipments going forward would be made on a case-by-case basis.
"I think possibly what's going on is that the administration has begun to worry that their effort to strangle the economy could push the economy over the edge and generate a mass migration crisis," says William LeoGrande, professor of government at American University.
"Who is the United States? Who gave you the authorization to say how much oil is going into Cuba or not? This is illegal," adds Liz Oliva Fernández, a Cuban journalist with Belly of the Beast.

The posts go back over 11 years, with reports tying the account to Vance's adviser through data breaches, social media accounts, past posts matching up to his personal life, and more.
