Birthright citizenship plaintiffs make new push to block Trump's order nationwide
A group of plaintiffs challenging President Trump's birthright citizenship restrictions quickly made a new push to block it nationwide, following the Supreme Court's decision Friday.
In a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines, the high court's conservative majority curtailed federal judges' ability to issue nationwide injunctions. But it left the door open for plaintiffs to try to seek broad relief by filing class action lawsuits.
Within hours, a group of plaintiffs suing in Maryland jumped on the suggestion, asking a district judge to issue a new ruling that applies to anyone designated as ineligible for birthright citizenship under Trump's order.
'Without a class-wide injunction, Defendants will deny thousands of babies in the putative class their constitutional and statutory right to United States citizenship, as well as all of the rights and privileges that citizenship entails,' the motion reads.
'Consistent with the Supreme Court's most recent instructions, the Court can protect all members of the putative class from irreparable harm that the unlawful Executive Order threatens to inflict,' it continues.
The motion was filed by CASA Inc., the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project and several expectant mothers who filed one of the original lawsuits challenging Trump's executive order.
The request will go to U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman, an appointee of former President Biden.

Revised Senate bill includes updated Lee language to sell public lands
The 940-page bill Senate Republican leaders unveiled Friday night to implement President Trump's agenda includes a section pushed by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) to sell public lands, although a smaller amount of land than was in a provision rejected earlier in the week by Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough. The updated language in the bill directs the secretary of the Interior Department to select for sale not less than 0.25 percent and not more than 0.50 percent of the Bureau of Land Management's land with certain restrictions. The Interior secretary would be directed to 'dispose' of land that has the 'highest value,' is nominated for sale by state and local governments, is adjacent to existing developed areas, has access to existing infrastructure and is suitable for residential housing. Any land sold by the Interior Department must be used solely for the development of housing or to build infrastructure to support housing. Federally protected land including national monuments, national recreation areas, components of national wilderness and components of national wild and scenic rivers would be excluded from sale. Interior would not be allowed to sell public lands located more than five miles from the border of a population center of at least 1,000 people. The revised language reduces the amount of land the Interior Department would be allowed to sell compared to legislation Lee unveiled earlier this month. The earlier text directed the Interior secretary to select between 0.5 percent and 0.75 percent of Bureau of Land Management land for sale. The Senate parliamentarian on Monday ruled that the original language mandating the sale of millions of acres of public land from both the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service violated the Byrd Rule. The Byrd Rule determines what legislation is eligible to be protected from a filibuster and allowed to pass the Senate with a simple-majority vote. Provisions must be primarily budgetary in nature to comply with the Byrd Rule. The provisions would apply to public lands in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. The issue is controversial, even among Republicans. Five House Republicans this week said they would vote against the bill if the provision remained in it when it came back to the lower chamber. Senate Republicans are racing to pass the Trump agenda megabill this weekend despite a number of uncertainties. Leadership had hoped to hold a vote Saturday but the timing remains fluid.

Fox News Pundit Goes Nuclear After Netherlands Queen Seems To Mock 'Daddy Trump'
Fox News contributor Raymond Arroyo joked that President Donald Trump might send a 'personalized' bomb to Queen Máxima of the Netherlands after a video showed the Dutch royal appearing to mock the president's mouth movements. Friday's episode of 'The Ingraham Angle' addressed the now-viral footage from this week's NATO summit in the Netherlands. The clip shows Trump posing for a photo with Queen Máxima and her husband, King Willem-Alexander. After Trump says, 'Thank you very much,' Máxima turns away and makes some movements with her lips and tongue. It's unclear exactly what she was doing, but many people interpreted it as her making fun of Trump. Neither Máxima nor Trump have commented publicly on the video, but Arroyo jumped in with his take on Friday. 'She's clearly making fun of his mouth... You know, doing the Trump lip thing,' the pundit said. Then he quipped that the Dutch queen should watch out — or else. 'She better be careful, you know. She could get a personalized bunker buster from Daddy Trump if she's not really careful,' he said, referencing the bombs the U.S. used to strike Iran's nuclear sites earlier this month.

'She's going to go from Queen Máxima from Queen Minima if she's not standing on protocol in the future,' he said. 'This is a bad look for a royal, or anybody.' Arroyo's remarks also nodded to NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte referring to Trump as 'Daddy' during the summit. Trump, sticking to a familiar theme, was comparing Russia and Ukraine to 'two kids at a schoolyard' fighting. Rutte then chimed in, 'And then Daddy has to sometimes use strong language.'
