Supreme Court Sides With Trump Administration On Immigration Case

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday in an immigration case dealing with the government’s power over green card holders accused of crimes. The 6-3 decision centers around an immigration officers’ 2012 decision to put lawful permanent resident Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip to China because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime. Lau argued that overstepped the officer's authority, and the decision wrongly allowed the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly begin deportation proceedings after he pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit clothes in New Jersey. The high court disagreed. “Border officers did not have the burden to establish by clear and convincing evidence that Lau had committed a crime involving moral turpitude,” Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in the opinion. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson disagreed, writing that the decision to put Lau on immigration parole effectively sentenced him to “immigration limbo” before he’d been convicted of any crime, she wrote. “I worry that the Court has now handed the Government a massive blank check,” she wrote in a dissent joined by her two liberal colleagues. The decision comes as the high court considers a series of immigration-related issues against the backdrop of President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown, though this case started before Trump took office. His administration argued that suspicion of a crime is enough to put a lawful permanent resident, also known as a green-card holder, on immigration parole. Federal attorneys urged the court to take an expansive view of executive authority over immigration. The court is also considering cases over Trump’s push to end birthright citizenship, potentially revive a restrictive asylum policy and end temporary legal protections for migrants fleeing war and natural disasters in their homelands.

Ransom Note In Savannah Guthrie’s Mother’s Disappearance Claims She Died

New details have emerged in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, as a ransom note reportedly claims the missing Arizona woman is dead. According to reports from CNN and other media outlets citing law enforcement sources, one of several ransom notes connected to the case stated that 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie died after being abducted. The note allegedly claimed her kidnappers did not intend to kill her but that she died shortly after her disappearance. Authorities have not confirmed the claim, and investigators have declined to comment on the contents of the note. The FBI has also not publicly addressed the reports. Nancy Guthrie vanished in early February from her home in the foothills outside Tucson, Arizona. Investigators believe she was taken against her will after discovering blood near her front doorstep. Surveillance footage later released by the FBI showed a masked individual near the residence on the night she disappeared. Search efforts have continued for months, with volunteers and law enforcement combing remote desert areas in southern Arizona. A recent search near the U.S.-Mexico border did not locate any evidence connected to Guthrie. The investigation remains active, and authorities continue to seek information that could help determine what happened to the missing woman.

Two More Arrested In Alleged Plot Targeting White House UFC Event

Federal authorities have arrested two additional suspects in connection with an alleged plot to attack a UFC event hosted at the White House earlier this month. According to court documents filed Monday, one suspect was arrested in Missouri and charged with conspiracy to commit murder, while another was taken into custody in Washington state. Federal officials say a total of seven people now face charges related to the case. Investigators allege the group planned to target attendees at the June 14 event, which featured President Donald Trump. Authorities say the plot was disrupted days before it could be carried out after a man, reportedly identified by his mother, alerted officials to the group's plans. Prosecutors allege members of the group embraced fringe conspiracy theories and discussed carrying out attacks against government officials in hopes of triggering a broader revolution. The FBI says the investigation remains active as authorities continue reviewing communications, planning materials and evidence gathered during the arrests. Officials have not released the identities of all those charged.

Iran’s President Visits Pakistan As Peace Negotiations Continue

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is traveling to Pakistan as diplomatic efforts continue to secure a lasting peace agreement between Iran and the United States. The visit comes as technical teams from both countries meet in Switzerland to work through details of a broader deal following high-level talks earlier this week. Pakistan has played a key role in helping facilitate communication between Tehran and Washington as negotiations move forward. At the center of the discussions are unresolved issues involving Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief and international inspections. Meanwhile, Iranian officials are pushing back on comments made by U.S. Vice President JD Vance regarding access for international inspectors. Iran’s Foreign Ministry said no visit has been scheduled for inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to examine nuclear facilities previously targeted in U.S. airstrikes. The disagreement highlights lingering challenges in the negotiations, even as both sides continue working toward a permanent agreement aimed at ending the conflict.

Former Mob Enforcer Turned New Jersey Councilman Arrested On Extortion Charges

A former mob hitman who later reinvented himself as a New Jersey councilman has been arrested on allegations that he returned to the criminal activity that once defined his past. Authorities arrested John Alite, 63, on charges including extortion, loansharking, corporate misconduct and terroristic threats. Prosecutors allege Alite provided high-interest loans and used threats of violence to collect money from borrowers. Investigators say a search of Alite’s home uncovered a collection of weapons, including metal knuckles, an expandable baton, baseball bats and numerous knives. Court documents allege some of the items were intended to be used in debt collection efforts. Alite was sworn in last year as a councilman in Englishtown, New Jersey. Before entering public office, he gained national attention for his ties to organized crime and for testifying against John A. Gotti, the son of notorious mob boss John Gotti. Prosecutors claim Alite used a corporation, Straightened-Out Entertainment Inc., to help carry out some of the alleged crimes. They also point to his past admissions of violence during organized crime investigations as evidence of the methods he allegedly employed. Alite appeared in court over the weekend and was released pending a detention hearing scheduled for Wednesday. His attorney declined to comment ahead of the next court appearance.

Quarantine Ends For Hantavirus Ship Passengers In Nebraska

OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) — The last eight American passengers who endured 42 days in a specialized hospital quarantine unit after exposure to an unusual hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship that killed three people have left the Nebraska facility. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials on Monday confirmed the end of the quarantine. “Through close collaboration among federal, state, and local partners, HHS helped protect the American people, contain potential risks, and bring this response effort to a successful conclusion,” HHS spokesperson Emily Hilliard said in an email. More than 120 people were evacuated from the MV Hondius in Spain’s Canary Islands early last month — including the 18 Americans who wound up in the National Quarantine Unit in Omaha — though most were from other countries. In addition to those people evacuated by health officials in full protective suits, at least 30 other passengers had left the ship earlier before the outbreak was documented. That included seven Americans, who were allowed to monitor for any symptoms at home. When the ship eventually docked in the Netherlands, 25 crew members and two medical personnel were on board and had to quarantine. The World Health Organization didn't immediately respond Monday to questions about the status of all the other people who had to quarantine around the globe. A total of 13 cases of the virus, including the three who died, were identified among people who were on the ship. Most Americans returned home but some were forced to quarantine One of the American passengers, Angela Perryman, had been held against her will and against the recommendation of a government medical expert. She said in an interview Monday passengers were told that the quarantine monitoring period ended Sunday at 2pm. She left on a flight that evening. Others were flying out Monday, she said. “We were locked in our rooms until 1:55. And at 2 o’clock, ‘OK, well, everybody walk out and go home,’” Perryman said, speaking from her Florida home. Some stayed the night elsewhere in Omaha, but Perryman pushed for a flight home that evening. The government paid for the flights, she said. Seven of the last remaining patients remained there voluntarily, but Perryman was forced to stay as the result of a controversial quarantine order that was deemed unnecessary even by some health officials. Perryman and seven others spent six weeks at the National Quarantine Unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. That monitoring period was set because symptoms of hantavirus have taken as long as 42 days to appear in previous outbreaks. None were reported to have develop the illness. The seven remained there voluntarily, but Perryman was forced to stay as the result of the controversial quarantine order. Ten others who were at the facility were allowed to leave earlier under an agreement that they would be closely monitored in their home states. Outbreak developed on a small cruise ship The passengers were on a Dutch cruise ship, the MV Hondius, traveling in the South Atlantic that became the setting of a hantavirus outbreak that killed three people, including a Dutch couple who health officials believe were the first exposed to the virus while visiting South America. Hantaviruses usually spread when people inhale contaminated residue of rodent droppings, but the hantavirus that caused the outbreak, called the Andes virus, may be able to spread between people in rare cases, health officials say. Some 25 Americans were on the ship, including about seven who disembarked in April and 18 who remained on board. Sixteen were evacuated to the Nebraska quarantine unit in Omaha on May 11, and two other Americans joined them a few days later. Passengers staying in Omaha enjoyed Nebraska hospitality During the passengers’ stay, local Omaha restaurants and food trucks delivered special meals for them to enjoy almost daily. And the nurses sometimes made Starbucks runs to deliver some of the passengers’ favorite drinks. The rooms they stayed in are like hotel rooms equipped with a desk, television, internet connection and exercise equipment to help the passengers pass the time. One of the passengers, Jake Rosmarin, on Monday morning posted an "I’m finally coming home" video that showed him leaving his room at the quarantine center, hauling two suitcases and a backpack and turning out the lights as he walked out the door. Later Monday, he posted a video of the Omaha skyline shot out the window of his plane as he headed home to his fiance in Boston and his family. Rosmarin, who is a travel blogger, posted a tearful video Sunday thanking the staff of the quarantine unit, the Omaha community and his family and friends who helped him get through quarantine. “I want to thank the Omaha, Nebraska, community for welcoming us with open arms and showing us complete kindness and generosity. And a big thanks to all of you who have helped me get through this because I really don’t know if it would have been as easy without the support from strangers,” he said while wearing a Nebraska Huskers sweatshirt that someone sent him. Florida wouldn't agree to monitor passenger round the clock Perryman had a darker take. She was forced to stay after Florida officials refused a federal demand that the state provide round-the-clock surveillance on her if she were returned home. This even as they had started making travel arrangements for the passengers weeks ago, she said. “Nobody actually expected anybody to get sick at that point,” she said. “Everybody was well aware that we were all going home on commercial flights.” She called the six-week quarantine “a political stunt.”

Are There Any Silver Linings with the MOU?

M and M Extra: Stop Bullying Israel

Mark Levin is lashing out, accusing anyone who disagrees with Israel's foreign policy of bullying the Jewish state. This comes after Trump publicly berated Netanyahu for continuing strikes on Lebanon while he's trying to lock in a peace deal and reopen the Strait of Hormuz . Here's the thing: Disagreeing with Israel doesn't make you an antisemite. But at the same time, doesn't Israel have the right to defend itself from terrorist threats? A lot of folks think we never should have gotten involved in this political quagmire in the first place—despite Trump's best intentions to dismantle Iran's nuclear program. The MOU is getting scrutinized from all sides, and the questions keep piling up. -- M and M Extra:Two iconic talk radio hosts. One unfiltered daily conversation. No scripts. No spin.
