Can I be honest with y’all? Break the fourth wall a little? These categories I use for these weekly updates begin to feel little Foolish now that every other title is about the ways in which the White House pushes us farther from democracy with its actions on issues such as immigration, LGBTQ+ rights.
How can I summarize this week? At the top line of the peaks: President Donald Trump tries to close the education department (introduction of a child left behind), the Internal Security Department (DHS) was deported a kidney transplant In Lebanon and Trump’s administration defies the judicial orders. And the Democratic Party is largely useless through all of it.

Migration
- Trump’s administration cited the Act of foreign enemies– that passed 1798– To deport the people who were accused of being in a Venezuelan gang in El Salvador, as opposed to a court ruling to stop deportations.
