United States
Immigration
The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that President Donald Trump can move forward with ending former President Joe Biden’s parole pipeline for migrants while the case makes its way through an appellate court. The Supreme Court overturned an Obama appointee’s order that put a nationwide injunction against President Trump’s order to revoke the legal status of more than 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who were allowed into the U.S. interior via a Biden-era parole pipeline known as the CHNV program.

Trump Administration
Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem were in a heated meeting with immigration officials where they demanded that immigration agents seek to arrest 3,000 people a day. This target is triple the number in the early parts of the administration. Sources have told me that Noem is skating on thin ice; she received the position after Trump was pushed by her “close friend,” Corey Lewandowski, but several people have become agitated that more people haven’t been deported. The reporting looks like Miller was leading the meeting, which would make sense given that he’s at the apex of his political power. (Axios)
The State Department is considering the creation of an office of remitigation. The plan would, in effect, repurpose the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, which had previously sought to manage and facilitate the flow of people into the US, into a bureau tasked with helping to deport immigrants from the country.

President Trump’s executive order that criminally charges illegal aliens for failing to register with the government is in full swing. A report by The Washington Post found that illegal aliens have been prosecuted for over a month for failing to provide fingerprints and home addresses, as a national security precaution that will allow authorities to more closely track the whereabouts of millions of immigrants in the United States.

Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, one of the world's most powerful creators of artificial intelligence, issued a warning that artificial intelligence could eliminate half of all entry-level white-collar jobs and increase unemployment to 20 percent over the next one to five years. Amodei said AI companies and the government need to stop "sugar-coating" what's coming: the possible mass elimination of jobs across technology, finance, law, consulting, and other white-collar professions, especially entry-level gigs. Amodei said the goal isn’t to stop AI, but to navigate in the right direction. (Axios)
