The Supreme Court said Monday it will take up challenges to controversial Trump administration policies affecting family-planning clinics and immigrants, even though the Biden administration has announced it is reviewing them.
The justices agreed to hear appeals over the Trump policy that keeps taxpayer-funded clinics from referring women for abortions and the “public charge” rule that could deny permanent residency status to immigrants because of their use of food stamps, Medicaid, housing vouchers or other public benefits.
On Fox, Stephen Miller Falsely Claims Migrant Kids Were âHumanely Returnedâ To Families Screenshot from Fox News
Former Trump administration senior adviser Stephen Miller appeared Thursday morning on
Fox & Friends, to attack President Joe Biden s immigration policies. During the interview, Miller falsely claimed that the Trump administration maintained a practice of safely and humanely returning unaccompanied minor immigrants to their families.
In fact, the practices of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials during the Trump administration were notorious for their dysfunctional treatment of unaccompanied minors. A
ProPublica report last year titled The Trump Administration Is Rushing Deportations of Migrant Children During Coronavirus included young children who had a parent in the U.S. ready to receive them, and no one in their home country to care for them, and teenagers with dangerous family situations waiting for them back home

Protesters in the Pacific Northwest smashed windows at a Democratic Party headquarters, marched through the streets and burned an American flag Wednesday in a strident challenge by anti-fascist and racial-justice protesters to the new administration of President Joe Biden, whose promised reforms, they declared, “won’t save us.”
In Portland, lines of federal agents in camouflage – now working under the Biden administration – blanketed streets with tear gas and unleashed volleys of welt-inducing pepper balls as they confronted a crowd that gathered outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement building near downtown. Some in the crowd later burned a Biden-for-President flag in the street.
