Una corte de apelaciones federal ha rechazado la solicitud de la administración Trump para levantar una orden de restricción temporal (TRO) que bloquea el uso de la Ley de Enemigos Extranjeros por parte de la administración Trump para deportar a inmigrantes.

Under the bill, residents of North Carolina who are U.S. citizens at least 18 years of age, and not otherwise prohibited by law, would be able to carry concealed handguns without obtaining a permit. North Carolina law currently requires gun owners to obtain permits from their local sheriff’s office in order to carry a concealed handgun.

“We have so many special education students in Wake County that if you pull them out, they would be the 14th largest school district in the state,” Chris Heagarty, Wake County School Board Chairman, told ABC 11. “Tell me in what world we live in where taking money away from kids like them is a good idea.”
La administración Trump mostró lo vulnerables que pueden ser estos programas. Aunque la Corte Suprema protegió DACA en 2020, el riesgo de nuevas acciones restrictivas persiste.
Stein prioritized housing survivors, supporting businesses, and strengthening infrastructure in the mountain regions. He also shared stories of local residents he had met, including the operator of an AM radio station in Haywood County, a Watauga County business owner, and a McDowell County restaurateur.
La administración Trump dijo que ignoró una orden judicial para dar vuelta dos aviones con supuestos miembros de pandillas venezolanas porque los vuelos estaban sobre aguas internacionales. La decisión de la administración de desafiar la orden de un juez federal es extremadamente rara y altamente controvertida. “La orden judicial fue desobedecida. El primero de muchos, como he estado advirtiendo, y el comienzo de una verdadera crisis constitucional”, escribió el abogado de seguridad nacional Mark S. Zaid, crítico de Trump, en X, añadiendo que Trump podría ser finalmente destituido. La Casa Blanca da la bienvenida a esa lucha. “Esto llegará a la Corte Suprema. Y vamos a ganar”, dijo un alto funcionario de la Casa Blanca a Axios.
The case will now be with the 15-member Appeals Court. Last week, Riggs filed a motion for Judge Tom Murry, who is on the Court of Appeals, to recuse himself from the case.

On Wednesday, North Carolina teachers and parents delivered letters to Senator Thom Tillis’ office, urging the senator to vote to keep the crucial department up and running.
Less than a month into the 2025 session, North Carolina lawmakers have introduced nearly 300 bills, with hundreds more expected before next month’s filing deadline. However, given the state’s divided government, not all proposals will survive the legislative process.
Following the 2024 election, Republicans fell just one seat short of a supermajority, meaning Democratic Gov. Josh Stein has the power to veto many GOP-backed bills. Despite this dynamic, several key proposals are gaining attention.
Despite his claims of independence, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis has emerged as a reliable MAGA supporter in Congress. Tillis voted in favor of all of President Trump’s most controversial nominees, including vaccine skeptic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and pro-Putin National Intelligence nominee Tulsi Gabbard.
But the most telling vote involved Tillis’ decision to confirm Pete Hegseth to lead the Department of Defense. Hegseth, a former Fox News host, has an extensive list of misconduct allegations as well as a history of troubling comments reflecting his opposition to women serving in the military.
