Can Trump pull off a sharp left-turn on immigration?
President Trump was born to win. It's his brand and his personal reason for existing — a self-appointed destiny that has profoundly shaped America over the last decade in ways almost no one expected. For that reason, people notice when Trump veers away from the policies for which he is best known. That happened recently when he spoke to reporters at the White House, where he told them he was worried that farmers and companies in the hospitality industry (think Hilton and Marriott) might soon be forced to hire American workers instead of black market labor. 'We're going to have an order on that pretty soon, I think,' Trump said. 'We can't do that to our farmers, and leisure too. Hotels. We're going to have to use a lot of common sense on that.' He followed up with a message on Truth Social, writing, in part, 'Changes are coming!' Conservative reactions ran the gamut from bewildered to angry. 'Employers who knowingly rely on illegal immigrant labor should be in prison,' Matt Walsh wrote on X. 'Instead we're going to back off of immigration enforcement for their sake? Hell no. We can't tolerate this.' Politicians who lean left on immigration were quick to claim it as a victory. 'MAJOR WIN: Trump just reversed course on immigration,' California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) opined, telling his followers it 'happened because you spoke up.' On the other side of the political aisle, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) invoked the statement in the middle of a combative exchange over immigration, writing on X, 'Notice the wording. He doesn't support deporting illegal immigrants.' Massie was throwing this back in the face of Trump supporters, who had made the same accusation against him days earlier. Uproar aside, it bears noting that Trump has made similar comments before. 'A farmer will come in with a letter concerning certain people, saying they're great, they're working hard,' he said in April. 'We're going to slow it down a little bit for them, and then we're going to ultimately bring them back. They'll go out. They're going to come back as legal workers.' Customs and Border Protection had made good on one version of that plan a month earlier when it unveiled the CBP Home app, which keeps the door open for illegal immigrants inside the U.S. to return lawfully in the future if they self-deport now. Trump has not made clear what additional exemptions he might have in mind. However, Trump's earlier comments failed to attract much attention from the press or public — and his latest comments seem inopportune. To most Americans, they sound an awful lot like he's considering a full-throated surrender. Democrats would be committing political malpractice if they didn't seize the moment to claim victory. In light of poll numbers released earlier this month, it is puzzling why Trump considered moving to the left on immigration at all. A CBS News poll released on June 9 found that 54 percent of U.S. adults approved of the administration's deportation efforts compared to 46 percent who disapproved. An InsiderAdvantage survey of likely voters released June 10 found voters approved of his move to quash rioters in Los Angeles — with 59 percent expressing approval compared to 39 percent who disapproved. Not all polls agree on these numbers, but it is safe to say that they numbers have contributed to Democrats' downward spiraling fortunes. A Quinnipiac University survey released on June 11 found just 21 percent of registered voters approved of the performance of Democrats in Congress — next to a full 70 percent who disapproved. And that survey was conducted before federal agents tackled Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) — unceremoniously dragging him away from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Recent evidence indicates that Trump's instincts on immigration have been one of the chief reasons for the monumental divide in public approval between him and the Democratic Party, whose rating is so low that it's hard to wrap one's mind around. Considering the numbers, there may not be a politically auspicious time in 2025 for Trump to move left on immigration. If he's eager to spend his precious political capital on a push to make it easier for certain companies or industries to hire illegal laborers, this political moment might be as good as any. On the other hand, if he wants to find out just how high his approval rating can rise, he may want to reassure his supporters that he was merely playing a light-hearted joke on his critics by suggesting he'd move to the left — and he should double down on the policies that brought him to this point.

'We won': Social media erupts over SCOTUS ruling dealing 'fatal blow' to transgender surgeries on minors
Conservatives on social media rejoiced on social media Wednesday after the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law banning gender-transition treatments for adolescents. In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which "prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow 'a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,'" does not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Conservatives on social media, who viewed the ruling as a win for parents' rights, quickly praised the court ruling. "A huge victory," conservative commentator Matt Walsh posted on X. "A fatal blow to the child mutilation industry. We won." "A massive win for sanity," Townhall columnist Dustin Grage posted on X. "This is a massive!" Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk posted on X. "A wonderful victory for decency, common sense, and our kids Now we need a nationwide ban! Onward." "Awesome news!" GOP Rep. Riley Moore posted on X. "States absolutely can and should be able to protect children from chemical or surgical castration." "This is a massive victory for common sense and the safety of our youth," American Principles Project posted on X. "No more irreversible harm in the name of ideology!" "WE NEED A NATIONWIDE BAN ON TRANSGENDER SURGERIES AND HORMONE DRUGS FOR MINORS," conservative influencer account LibsofTikTok posted on X. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said that the law in question is not subject to heightened scrutiny "because it does not classify on any bases that warrant heightened review." All three liberal justices notably dissented in the case. That law in question prohibits states from allowing medical providers to deliver puberty blockers and hormones to facilitate a minor's transition to another sex. It also targets healthcare providers in the state who continue to provide such procedures to gender-dysphoric minors — opening these providers up to fines, lawsuits and other liability.

Who said it: Tucker Carlson or Rashida Tlaib?
Get The Gavel A weekly SCOTUS explainer newsletter by columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr. Enter Email Sign Up Advertisement The Islamic Republic of Iran? Pfffft, you don't have to worry about those guys! It used to be that only lefty champions against islamophobia could see the Supreme Leader's chants of 'Death to America' as cries of resistance against Western colonialism. But these days, some folks on the right seem to see the bright side of the mullahs, too. Like Matt Walsh, a conservative podcaster, culture warrior, and commentator for the Daily Wire. Walsh posted that Iran 'does not pose any credible threat to the United States,' which is an interesting take given his deep fear of immigrant labor. A regime with the goal of destroying the West has nothing on the dangers to Americans of Advertisement Iran does not pose any credible threat to the United States. We do not need to get involved in yet another war in the Middle East for reasons that have nothing to do with defending our own nation. — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) If you're still a bit nervous that a regime that calls us the Big Satan might still be a threat after decades of dodging nuclear restraint, don't worry — there's bipartisan agreement that we're all good! In fact, some liberal personalities think that Iran's proxies can do some good. Hyper conservative podcaster Matt Walsh, meet hyper liberal podcaster Hasan Piker. The left is eyeing Piker as a rising star in the war to win over young men. Problem is, Piker has a few hot takes — like the fact that Iran's terrorist proxies are a force for 'resistance.' During one of his As far as I know, Mandela didn't kill hundreds of Americans. But hey, it's all about the resistance. the media is already working in real time to manufacture consent for how israel is still the victim after its direct strike on iran. — hasanabi (@hasanthehun) Bibi Netanyahu: The enemy — on the left, and the right Who knew Representative Rashida Tlaib, the Democrat from Michigan, and Tucker Carlson had so much in common! Maybe on Tucker's next podcast, they could talk about how an ally that eliminated an impending nuclear threat is the real enemy. The Israeli government bombing Iran is a dangerous escalation that could lead to regional war. War Criminal Netanyahu will do anything to maintain his grip on power. We cannot let him drag our country into a war with Iran. Our government must stop funding and supporting this… — Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (@RepRashida) Whatever you think of tariffs, it's clear that now is the worst possible time for the United States to participate in a military strike on Iran. We can't afford it. Thousands of Americans would die. We'd lose the war that follows. Nothing would be more destructive to our country.… — Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) Fiscal restraint is IN on the left Everyone knows that Thomas Massie, a small-government conservative representative from Kentucky, is worried about spending the American tax dollar. So is his libertarian-minded compatriot, Republican Senator Rand Paul, also of Kentucky. Israel doesn't need US taxpayers' money for defense if it already has enough to start offensive wars. I vote not to fund this war of aggression. — Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) The American people overwhelming oppose our endless wars, and they voted that way when they voted for Donald Trump in 2024. I urge President Trump to stay the course, keep putting America first, and to not join in any war between other countries. Every American should hope and… — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) But did you know that the progressive squad member Ilhan Omar is also worried about your tax dollars? Regardless of what Trump thinks, Israel knows America will do whatever they want and feels confident about their ability to get into war and have the American government back them up. Israel also knows they can always rely on getting America to protect and serve its needs.… — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) I certainly appreciate fiscal restraint in my lawmakers. That all comes down to prioritizing essential versus nonessential. This crew can't seem to agree on entitlement spending. But when it comes to Advertisement Especially as Republicans surge with working-class voters, it isn't surprising to see more right-wing voices questioning foreign entanglements. What is surprising is just how much those voices sound like their counterparts on the left — the same people that right-wing personalities have dubbed anti-American for years. And still, figures like Tucker Carlson and Matt Walsh present themselves as true patriots, as truly America First. And they seem to think that by ignoring the rest of the world, and just focusing on domestic issues, that America will be safer. But there's an issue with that analysis. The Islamic Republic is a regime that is built on the desire to destroy America — and it sure isn't going to ignore us. Carine Hajjar is a Robert Novak Fellow with the Fund for American Studies.
