and Minnesota courts could exercise jurisdiction over the global
auto manufacturer for certain in-state vehicle accidents, even if

Why the Supreme Court Needs to Assert Itself Over the Public Charge Rule
The regulatory process needs to be followed and the Supreme Court cannot allow the current administration to sidestep normal procedure.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently teamed up with a lower-court judge to perform an act of bureaucratic magic they made the public charge rule disappear.
