| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🚔 Milwaukee judge arrested for obstructing ICE arrest. A Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge, Hannah Dugan, was arrested on obstruction charges after allegedly misleading federal agents to shield an illegal migrant, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, from ICE. FBI Director Kash Patel stated that she redirected agents, allowing Ruiz to evade capture momentarily before his eventual arrest. This incident raises concerns about the extent to which Trump-opposed federal judges will obstruct legitimate law enforcement efforts. | 🚨 Florida ICE operation nets nearly 800 arrests. Over four days, ICE Miami and Florida law enforcement detained nearly 800 illegals in Operation Tidal Wave, targeting migrants with deportation orders. Among those arrested were a convicted Colombian murderer and alleged gang members from MS-13 and 18th Street. Despite the overall slow pace of deportations, progress is being made to capture the "worst of the worst." | 🇷🇺 Trump signaled a tougher stance on Putin. President Trump expressed concern that Vladimir Putin may not want peace, suggesting that the Russian leader might need to be "dealt with differently." Trump warned of new sanctions, including banking and secondary sanctions on countries that trade with Russia. Trump's remarks followed a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky at the Vatican, where the two discussed potential peace efforts. | ⚖️ Trump DOJ revoked UNRWA immunity in US courts. The Trump DOJ stripped the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) of legal immunity, reversing Biden-era policy and allowing a $1 billion lawsuit by families of Hamas attack victims from October 7, 2023. Allegations point to the agency having aided Hamas terrorists through a money-laundering scheme. This move intensifies scrutiny of the UNRWA's ties to extremism and questions its very legitimacy under the UN charter. |

| | | THE MAIN STORY | Judges thwart Trump's anti-DEI crusade | | WHAT'S HAPPENING_ | President Donald Trump is implementing sweeping restrictions on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in public schools by threatening to withhold federal funding from non-compliant institutions. Earlier this month, the Department of Education directed state school systems to certify they are eliminating DEI programs or risk losing Title I funding. | The policy triggered immediate legal challenges, with 19 Democratic-led states filing lawsuits claiming the funding cuts would be "catastrophic." Last week, three federal judges, including two Trump appointees, blocked aspects of the administration's enforcement policy. | | _THE FACTS_ | On April 23, Trump signed executive orders banning race-based discipline in schools and limiting the use of "disparate impact" theory in government policies. One of Trump's executive orders specifically targets higher education accreditation bodies that mandate DEI programs. The Department of Education urged states to comply with Trump's orders quickly, or risk lawsuits, civil penalties, and losing federal funds. A federal judge slammed Trump's anti-DEI policies, calling them "textbook viewpoint discrimination" and a likely First Amendment violation. Two Trump-appointed judges also blocked parts of the policy, saying it was too vague and violated federal procedural rules on how to make policy. A dozen Democrat-led states refused to sign the compliance document by the April 25 deadline, risking billions in federal education funding. The $13.8 billion at stake mainly supports teachers, counselors, and academic programs in schools for low-income children. California joined a lawsuit against Trump's anti-DEI policies, even though its Proposition 209 — approved by voters in the 1990s — bans affirmative action.
