👋 Greetings! Julius here. Let's catch up on Tuesday's news. |
Supreme Court lets Texas enforce controversial migrant law |
The Supreme Court on Tuesday said Texas could enforce a controversial law that allows police to detain and deport migrants. The law, originally set to go into effect on March 5, had been on hold while it was litigated. The hold was lifted over the objections of the court's liberal justices. The Justice Department had called the law "flatly inconsistent" with the court's past decisions, which recognized that the power to admit and remove noncitizens lies solely with the federal government. The court's decision is a loss for the Biden administration which has been fighting with Texas over how to secure the nation's southern border. Read more on the Supreme Court's decision. |
Biden, lawmakers announce deal that could avoid shutdown |
President Joe Biden and congressional leaders announced Tuesday that they had reached a government funding deal, signaling the close of a saga that featured numerous shutdown threats. With a tight window left to consider funding bills, it is possible that there will still be a brief government shutdown over the weekend. However, it will likely have little impact on services or federal workers unless it stretches into next week. If lawmakers aren't able to pass the bills in time, a longer funding gap would lead to a government shutdown that could have real effects for many Americans. Here's the latest on the deal. | President Joe Biden speaks during a Saint Patrick's Day event on Sunday. Biden and congressional leaders announced they reached a government funding deal on Tuesday.

Israel sending 'senior interagency team' to US |
Israel is sending a "senior interagency team" to Washington to discuss targeting Hamas elements in Rafah. National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Monday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to send the team of military, intelligence and humanitarian officials. The agreement comes as the White House lobbies for alternatives to Israel's ground invasion plan. Sullivan said Biden stressed that more than 1 million Palestinians taking refuge in Rafah "have nowhere else to go (because) Gaza's other major cities have largely been destroyed." Invading the city would further complicate efforts to provide food, medicine and other supplies to Palestinians, Sullivan said.
