Supreme Court limits ability of judges to stop Trump
An emboldened President Donald Trump celebrated a new bombshell Supreme Court ruling that clamped down on federal judges' ability to halt his policy moves by slamming federal judges who have confronted him in the past. Trump hailed the decision severely proscribing nationwide court injunctions as 'monumental' and took a victory lap in a nearly hour-long session in the White House briefing room. 'I think taking power away from these absolutely crazy radical left judges is a tremendous – this is such a big day,' Trump crowed. Throughout the frenetic start of his term, Trump has seen judges stop or stall some of his most consequential policies on immigration, deportations and birthright citizenship – as well as his moves to take on perceived rivals like law firms and universities and slash agency staff. He has signed 164 Executive Orders and counting. His administration has drawn legal challenges for deporting migrants to El Salvador, singling out individual law firms who have challenged him, and slashing grants to universities. By issuing a sweeping ruling against the use of universal injunctions that a District Court judge can impose nationwide, the Supreme Court took one more burden away from Trump as he seeks to impose his policy agenda even when a closely-divided Congress fails to act on an issue. 'It only takes bad power away from judges .. it takes bad power, sick power and unfair power, and it's really going to be, is a very monumental decision,' Trump said Friday soon after the ruling came down. The high court, where conservatives hold a 6-3 majority, issued the ruling about a year after handing Trump another big win, ruling that presidents enjoy immunity from prosecution for most of their official acts taken while in office. The ruling gave a big boost to Trump's campaign while he was facing four criminal charges – and allowed Trump more latitude when he took the oath for a second time in January. Trump, who railed against individual judges during his 2016 and 2020 campaigns, took on the general judicial power as a 'colossal abuse' – calling them a threat to his own authority. 'In recent months, we've seen a handful of radical left judges effectively try to overrule the rightful powers of the president to stop the American people from getting the policies that they voted for in record numbers that was a grave threat to democracy, frankly,' he said. He said the judges have attempted 'to dictate the law for the entire nation. In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected President of the United States, he or she could block that policy from going into effect, or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system. 'This was a colossal abuse of power which never occurred in American history prior to recent decades, and we've been hit with more nationwide injunctions than were issued in the entire 20th century together.' His warning came in a term where Trump has met little resistance from House and Senate Republicans controlling Congress, even when his administration and DOGE slashed contracts and staff at agencies funded by the legislative branch. Blasting the court's ruling as a threat was Justice Sonia Sotomayor, writing for the trio of dissenting liberals. She accused the government of playing a 'different game' by asking the Court ' to hold that, no matter how illegal a law or policy, courts can never simply tell the Executive to stop enforcing it against anyone.' She said the government does not defend the legality of the Trump order ending birthright citizenship, and that a judge's ruling should apply only to the narrow group of people who brought suit. 'The gamesmanship in this request is apparent and the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along,' she wrote. 'No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates. Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from lawabiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship.' She said it 'renders constitutional guarantees meaningful in name only for any individuals who are not parties to a lawsuit,' calling it a 'grave an attack on our system of law.' 'By stripping all federal courts, including itself, of that power, the Court kneecaps the Judiciary's authority to stop the Executive from enforcing even the most unconstitutional policies,' Sotomayor wrote. Also torching the ruling was Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in her own dissent. 'Disaster looms,' she wrote. 'What I mean by this is that our rights-based legal system can only function properly if the Executive, and everyone else, is always bound by law. Today's decision is a seismic shock to that foundational norm. Allowing the Executive to violate the law at its prerogative with respect to anyone who has not yet sued carves out a huge exception—a gash in the basic tenets of our founding charter that could turn out to be a mortal wound,' she wrote. 'What is more, to me, requiring courts themselves to provide the dagger (by giving their imprimatur to the Executive Branch's intermittent lawlessness) makes a mockery of the Judiciary's solemn duty to safeguard the rule of law,' she added. 'This decision I think opens the door very widely to granting presidents ... essentially to get away with illegal activities for quite a while, and maybe forever' if Congress and the courts to serve as a check on President Trump, said Michael Gerhardt, a law professor at the University of North Carolina, in comments to CNN.

Trump lays out his plot to take even more power in blistering attack on 'radicals' trying to stop him

QuSecure Names Gregory Donovan Vice President of Revenue as Demand for its Post-Quantum Cryptography and Cryptographic Agility Solutions Grows
SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--QuSecure™, Inc., a leader in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) cryptographic agility, today announced it has named Gregory Donovan, a prominent revenue executive in the cybersecurity industry, as its new Vice President of Revenue. This is a strategic and necessary move for the company as it sees rising interest in both private and public sector cybersecurity teams starting their needed PQC migrations to gain quantum protection for critical data anywhere it travels. QuSecure names Gregory Donovan as its new Vice President of Revenue as demand for its post-quantum cryptography and cryptographic agility solutions grows. Share 'I was impressed with the leadership and approach that QuSecure has taken to solve what could be a trillion-dollar problem in the market,' Donovan said. 'I chose QuSecure for that very reason – how it can provide PQC and cryptographic agility now and how I see our innovation evolving to solve current cybersecurity issues while preparing for larger quantum threats.' Late last year the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) directed security leaders to begin adopting new standards for addressing the quantum threat immediately. In recent White House Executive Orders, it has been made clear that it is a priority for the U.S. government to resolve cryptographic debt as the quantum threat approaches and bad actors harvest sensitive data now to stockpile for later decryption. For high-risk use cases, the requirement for meeting these standards was pulled in by 5 years compared to previous guidance – with additional advancement expected in this timeline. Technology vendors involved with National Security Systems are required to support post-quantum cryptography by 2027. Donovan brings years of enterprise and global sales experience to QuSecure. Most recently, he was with Keyfactor, a leading PKI cybersecurity company focused on the Fortune 500; and prior to that he served as Chief Growth Officer at Cognition, where he led go-to-market strategies and activities for an industrial automation/AI company. Donovan has also held key roles with ScentAir, ADP and SAP/Fieldglass. He earned a Bachelor of Science from Penn State University and resides in Charleston, SC. 'I'm excited about the rapid growth that Gregory will help QuSecure capitalize on,' said Rebecca Krauthamer, co-founder and CEO of QuSecure. 'As we see the adoption curve accelerating, his deep experience leading and scaling high-performing sales teams and delivering impressive revenue results come at a critical time for our growth. He has a solid track record of building proven sales strategies that span multiple industries that matter deeply to us, including cybersecurity and AI, and across private and public sectors. We will rely on his extensive experience and deep industry connections as we work to exceed our aggressive goals for 2025 and beyond.' QuSecure ensures that sensitive data remains secure even as quantum computing and AI advance. It provides software-only security architecture that overlays onto a customer's pre-existing infrastructure, simplifying the migration to modern cryptographic standards without performance impact. Its flagship product, QuProtect, is the industry's first cryptographic-agility platform that elegantly facilitates the upgrade to PQC and managed cryptographic visibility and orchestration, and QuSecure is proud to have the most crypto-agility deployments of any organization globally. QuSecure's diverse roster of customers includes the United States Army and Air Force, key players in the telecommunications and energy sectors, leading financial institutions, and global cloud services providers. About QuSecure QuSecure is a leader in quantum-safe cybersecurity with a mission to use the advent of quantum computing to act as a catalyst to fix the foundation of data security infrastructure. The QuProtect platform can be purchased through the AWS Marketplace or direct outreach to QuSecure, Accenture, Dell, Cisco, or Carahsoft.

The Trump Administration Just Created Hundreds of Thousands of Illegal Immigrants
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has terminated the parole status of hundreds of thousands of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. These people, who have been living and working in the country, must now self-deport or face immigration enforcement actions. An estimated 530,000 people came to the country through the CHNV parole program. (The initials stand for "Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela.") This pathway, implemented by President Joe Biden in January 2023, granted foreign nationals from those four countries U.S. work permits and deportation protection for two years while they sought other means of legal status. To qualify for CHNV parole, migrants had to have a sponsor based in the U.S. and pass security vetting. Republicans denounced the program as a misuse of parole authority, and in October 2024 the Biden administration decided against extending it. It's unclear how many people obtained alternative means of legal status to stay in the country after arriving under the program. On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing DHS to "terminate all categorical parole programs that are contrary to the policies of the United States established in my Executive Orders." Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem terminated the CHNV parole program on March 25, but legal challenges quickly blocked her move. In April, Judge Indira Talwani of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts ruled that migrants on CHNV parole were entitled to a case-by-case review and implemented a preliminary injunction to pause Noem's order. That injunction was itself then paused by the Supreme Court, allowing deportation actions against people on CHNV parole to proceed while legal challenges continue to move forward. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson authored a dissent, joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor, decrying the "devastating consequences of allowing the Government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly half a million noncitizens while their legal claims are pending." On Thursday, June 12, DHS—once again—began terminating the parole status of migrants benefiting from the parole program. Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at Homeland Security, declared in a press release that DHS was aiming to reverse the "disastrous" effects of allowing "poorly vetted illegal aliens into the United States" to "compete for American jobs and undercut American workers." Revoking a noncitizen's parole status may well be within Noem's legal authority, but the termination of this program will impact hundreds of thousands of migrants who came to the United States legally to make a better life for themselves. Many migrated due to urgent humanitarian reasons, seeking refuge from violence, from oppressive authoritarian socialist regimes, and from severe economic crises. And the program did—as intended—relieve pressure and disorder on the southern border. The post The Trump Administration Just Created Hundreds of Thousands of Illegal Immigrants appeared first on
