CNN commentator suggests investigating Trump children's citizenship status
CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers asked why people aren't investigating the Trump family's citizenship status while discussing the White House's ongoing deportation efforts on Tuesday. Sellers took part in a panel on "CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip" on the topic of the Trump administration attempting to revoke the citizenship of naturalized Americans who commit crimes. The panel referenced a recent memo from the Justice Department dated June 11 that directed U.S. attorneys to "prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings" as part of an effort by the Trump administration to crack down on crime. While accusing President Donald Trump of refusing to give immigrants "the benefit of their humanity," Sellers suggested people needed to "have a full conversation" about the Trump family's legal status. "Look, if we want to have a conversation about who belongs where, when, how, and whether or not their citizenship status- and we want to look at everything, I mean, I would look at Donald Trump Jr.," Sellers said. "I would look at all of Melania's kids, all of Ivana's kids. I mean, let's just have a full conversation over who belongs here, how did they get here, their citizenship status." He added, "Let's just have a full discussion about all of it. Why is that not on the table right now? I mean, the only person here should be Tiffany Trump, if we're going to have this discussion." First lady Melania Trump, Barron's mother, was born in Slovenia before becoming a U.S. citizen in 2006. The late Ivana Trump, Trump's first wife and Eric, Ivanka and Donald Jr.'s mother, was born in the Czech Republic before becoming a U.S. citizen in 1988. Trump's second wife, Tiffany's mother, Marla Maples, was born in the U.S. All of Trump's children were born in the U.S. The Justice Department memo from Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate states that denaturalization cases against "individuals who pose a potential danger to national security, including those with a nexus to terrorism, espionage, or the unlawful export from the United States of sensitive goods, technology, or information raising national security concerns" are one of the key priorities. "The benefits of civil denaturalization include the government's ability to revoke the citizenship of individuals who engaged in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses; to remove naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the United States; and to prevent convicted terrorists from returning to U.S. soil or traveling internationally on a U.S. passport," Shumate wrote.

Wisconsin ski park faces lawsuit after allegedly firing employee for sharing Bible verses on social media
A Wisconsin snow park is facing a federal lawsuit that accuses it of firing a Christian employee for posting Bible verses on his personal social media account. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a complaint against Crystal Ridge Ski Area, LLC, formerly known as The Rock Snowpark, a winter sports park and summer events venue in Franklin, Wisconsin, on Wednesday. Their complaint alleges the park discriminated against a former employee who worked there from January 2, 2022 to June 12, 2023. During his time of employment, the Rock Snowpark employee "frequently posted religious messages" including Bible verses, on his personal social media account, the suit states. On June 9, 2023, Rock Snowpark's Operations Manager met with the individual and expressed concern that his posts "were discriminatory to gay people," and asked him to refrain from posting these statements. When the employee asked if he could still post Bible verses, the manager gave approval, the suit says. Three days later, the employee posted another Bible verse on his personal social media and was terminated the same day. The EEOC complaint states the employee did not identify his workplace or claim to be representing the views of his employer on his social media account. His posts were not directed at any employee of Rock Snowpark and the park did not receive any complaints about the posts, the complaint claims. The employee had worked for the company for a year and a half before his termination, during which time he received bonuses and was promoted for his excellent performance, according to the lawsuit. The EEOC filed the suit after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement, the complaint explains. The park is accused of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on religion. The commission is asking the court to issue a permanent injunction restricting Crystal Ridge from engaging in "any employment practices which discriminate on the basis of religion in violation of Title VII." The commission asks the court to order the park to implement new policies to ensure equal employment opportunities "regardless of religion." The complaint also asks for the employee to receive backpay and compensatory and punitive damages for the alleged harms caused. The commission is requesting a jury trial in the case. "All employees have the right to earn a living free from discrimination based on their religious beliefs," EEOC Acting Chair Andrea Lucas said in a press release. "While employers must remain alert to potential harassment in the workplace, religious statements made outside of work that do not reference or impact anyone in the workplace do not constitute unlawful harassment." Crystal Ridge Ski Area told Fox News Digital it had not yet been served the legal complaint but rejected the allegations. "First, we want to make clear that we, as an employer and member of the community, treat all of our employees and customers equally and with respect, regardless of who they are and what they believe," the park said. "We also expect all of our employees to similarly respect each other and the customers that we are here to serve." "Second, we want to make clear that the internal employment decision that apparently led to the EEOC's lawsuit was not made on the basis of the employee's religious beliefs. Rather, it was a business decision based on performance issues and policy violations," they added, saying they had no further comment on the matter.
