Since the minute #Trump returned to the #WhiteHouse, his actions have been met w litany of #lawsuits. There’s currently numerous #legal battles challenging executive orders Trump signed on day one: an end to #birthright #citizenship, the freezing of government agency funding to crucial programs, services and gutting of the #federal work force — the first step in the grand plan to remake the American government into an #authoritarian #regime. They Are Coming For ALL of US https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/what-happens-if-trump-defies-court-orders/

Here's a question for dual citizens who are also gender-weird.

If I have one passport that lists my gender as F and a different passport that lists it as X, is that going to cause any complications I haven't considered?

It was a 25 year old San Franciscan who went to court to establish his birthright #citizenship 125 years ago. It is due to Wong Kim Ark that Trump's orders were stayed earlier this week. https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/wong-kim-ark-birthright-citizenship-20154658.php?

Federal District Court Deborah Boardman, Maryland issued preliminary injunction today blocking Trump’s attempt to #unilaterally eliminate automatic U.S. #citizenship for children born to #undocumented or temporary #immigrants on US soil. The nationwide injunction applies nationally and is more permanent than the 14-day temporary restraining order issued on Jan. 23 by a federal judge in Seattle. #trump #politics #courts #Democracy #constitution #legalresearch #govdocs

Just in case you thought the disgrace of the Windrush Scandal had been resolved in favour of those the Home Office had wrongly denied (indeed worked to destroy evidence of) their right to remain in the UK, actually cases are still wrecking the lives of victims of the callousness of the Home Office.

As always once the press focus moves on s the Home Office 'forgets' its commitments to sort out the problem(s)

Trump promised voters he would act like a dictator on day one; and he honored that promise, in spades.
Trump tried to nullify the Constitution with an executive order directing agencies to no longer honor the 14th Amendment’s declaration of #birthright #citizenship.
Trump closed the week late on Friday by daring Congress to stem his corruption. He attempted to #fire more than a dozen independent #inspectors #general (IG) without providing Congress with the required 30 day notice or details on cause for dismissal.

The courts, responding to an appeal from multiple secretaries of state, fulfilled their role on Thursday.
Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, appointed by President Reagan, was unequivocal in his dismissal of that executive order:
“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a #blatantly #unconstitutional order… I have difficulty understanding how a member of the bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order. It just boggles my mind.”
