Supreme Court Backs Trump on Immigration
The Supreme Court ruled Friday that President Trump can end the protected status of around 500,000 illegal immigrants from four nations while an appeal of the president’s order remains pending.
The migrants, from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela were allowed into the U.S. as a result of a parole program set up by the Biden administration. Trump revoked that program, but a lower court had blocked his order until today’s ruling.
Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor, two of the court’s three liberal justices, dissented from the court’s decision, but the third, Justice Elena Kagan, joined with the majority.
The ruling comes two weeks after the court also allowed the administration to revoke the status of nearly 350,000 Venezuelans.
Inflation Fell in April While Spending Slowed
Inflation fell to 2.1% in April from 2.3% in March, according to the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge, below the level economists had forecast.
After ticking up through the fall, the Consumer Price Index has fallen throughout the first quarter of this year, dropping down to a 2.3% annual increase from 3% in January.
Consumer spending also slowed sharply in April, with just a 0.2% increase, while the savings rate jumped to 4.9%, its highest level in nearly a year.
Consumers also saw their personal income rise 0.8%, ahead of the forecast, with food prices falling 0.3% despite energy goods and services increasing 0.5%.
List: States with Highest Rate of Car Crashes
The Northeastern region of the U.S. has the highest rate of car accidents, according to a new study, with four New England states ranked among the top five.

The study also found Gen Z had the highest accident rate at 6.84%, while baby boomers had the lowest at 3.12%. Cars by Kia, Mazda, Chevrolet, Jeep, and Volkswagen were the most frequently involved in crashes, according to the results.

Did your mom ever tell you fruit is healthy? Mine too.
But I guarantee if your mother knew the damage a popular fruit does to your body, joints, and heart… she’d tell you NEVER eat this fruit again. You see, even though this fruit is marketed as being “healthy”… It actually contains a toxic nutrient that your body sees as an “enemy.”
So, every time you bite into this fruit…
Your immune system flags this “invader”… and unleashes its army of toxin killers. And since this nutrient enters your bloodstream once it’s digested…
And even if you HATE fruit and veggies… I can 99.9% guarantee you’ve eaten this fruit in the past week — probably without even knowing it.
Luckily, Dr. Brian Paris recorded a video revealing the deadly truth about this fruit (and four other common foods).
