Barrister cleared of misconduct calls on head of Bar Standards Board to resign
WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump has promised to as soon as he gets into office to make good on campaign promises aiming and redefining what it means to be American. But any efforts to halt the policy would face steep legal hurdles. Birthright citizenship means anyone born in the United States automatically becomes an American citizen. It’s been in place for decades and applies to children born to someone in the country illegally or in the U.S. on a tourist or student visa who plans to return to their home country. It’s not the practice of every country, and Trump and his supporters have argued that the system is being abused and that there should be tougher standards for becoming an American citizen. But others say this is a right enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, it would be extremely difficult to overturn and even if it’s possible, it’s a bad idea. Here’s a look at birthright citizenship, what Trump has said about it and the prospects for ending it: During an interview Sunday on Trump said he “absolutely” planned to halt birthright citizenship once in office. “We’re going to end that because it’s ridiculous,” he said. Trump and other opponents of birthright citizenship have argued that it creates an incentive for people to come to the U.S. illegally or take part in pregnant women enter the U.S. specifically to give birth so their children can have citizenship before returning to their home countries. “Simply crossing the border and having a child should not entitle anyone to citizenship,” said Eric Ruark, director of research for NumbersUSA, which argues for reducing immigration. The organization supports changes that would require at least one parent to be a permanent legal resident or a U.S. citizen for their children to automatically get citizenship. Others have argued that ending birthright citizenship would profoundly damage the country. “One of our big benefits is that people born here are citizens, are not an illegal underclass. There’s better assimilation and integration of immigrants and their children because of birthright citizenship,” said Alex Nowrasteh, vice president for economic and social policy studies at the pro-immigration Cato Institute. In 2019, the Migration Policy Institute estimated that 5.5 million children under age 18 lived with at least one parent in the country illegally in 2019, representing 7% of the U.S. child population. The vast majority of those children were U.S. citizens. The nonpartisan think tank said during Trump’s campaign for president in 2015 that the number of people in the country illegally would “balloon” if birthright citizenship were repealed, creating “a self-perpetuating class that would be excluded from social membership for generations.” In the aftermath of the Civil War, Congress ratified the 14th Amendment in July 1868. That amendment assured citizenship for all, including Black people. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” the 14th Amendment says. “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” But the 14th Amendment didn’t always translate to everyone being afforded birthright citizenship. For example, it wasn’t until 1924 that Congress finally granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the U.S. A key case in the history of birthright citizenship came in 1898, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Wong Kim Ark, born in San Francisco to Chinese immigrants, was a U.S. citizen because he was born in the states. The federal government had tried to deny him reentry into the county after a trip abroad on grounds he wasn’t a citizen under the Chinese Exclusion Act. But some have argued that the 1898 case clearly applied to children born of parents who are both legal immigrants to America but that it’s less clear whether it applies to children born to parents without legal status or, for example, who come for a short-term like a tourist visa. “That is the leading case on this. In fact, it’s the only case on this,” said Andrew Arthur, a fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, which supports immigration restrictions. “It’s a lot more of an open legal question than most people think.” Some proponents of immigration restrictions have argued the words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment allows the U.S. to deny citizenship to babies born to those in the country illegally. Trump himself used that language in his 2023 announcement that he would aim to end birthright citizenship if reelected. Trump wasn’t clear in his Sunday interview how he aims to end birthright citizenship. Asked how he could get around the 14th Amendment with an executive action, Trump said: “Well, we’re going to have to get it changed. We’ll maybe have to go back to the people. But we have to end it.” Pressed further on whether he’d use an executive order, Trump said “if we can, through executive action.” He gave a lot more details in a . In it, he said he would issue an executive order the first day of his presidency, making it clear that federal agencies “require that at least one parent be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident for their future children to become automatic U.S. citizens.” Related Articles Trump wrote that the executive order would make clear that children of people in the U.S. illegally “should not be issued passports, Social Security numbers, or be eligible for certain taxpayer funded welfare benefits.” This would almost certainly end up in litigation. Nowrasteh from the Cato Institute said the law is clear that birthright citizenship can’t be ended by executive order but that Trump may be inclined to take a shot anyway through the courts. “I don’t take his statements very seriously. He has been saying things like this for almost a decade,” Nowrasteh said. “He didn’t do anything to further this agenda when he was president before. The law and judges are near uniformly opposed to his legal theory that the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States are not citizens.” Trump could steer Congress to pass a law to end birthright citizenship but would still face a legal challenge that it violates the Constitution.Sadiq Khan caves in as train fares increased after Government demand

Thailand is making some progress in producing and selling autonomous vehicles domestically, but it is difficult for the country to reach the top levels of self-driving technology, says Wallop Chalermvongsavej, managing director of Hyundai Mobility Thailand, a subsidiary of South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor Group. Autonomous vehicles utilise artificial intelligence to support various functions while driving, including detecting objects like other cars and pedestrians. There are five levels of autonomous vehicle technology, ranging from zero to fifth level, based on the degree of driving automation. The zero level refers to cars with no automation systems, while the fifth level is the most advanced autonomous driving without human intervention. Many high-tech cars sold in the Thai market are currently in the second level, meaning they have partial driving automation, said Mr Wallop. These cars are equipped with the advanced driver assistance system, known as ADAS, which helps drivers better operate many functions, including steering, acceleration, deceleration and braking. Drivers are still needed to control the level-2 autonomous cars. "In my opinion, Thailand should reach only the third level in the next five years. Our infrastructure is not ready to go up to the fourth level," said Mr Wallop. The third level features conditional driving automation, which enables vehicles to control many driving tasks in certain conditions like highways, while drivers can take their hands off the steering wheel in some conditions. This is different from the fourth level in which drivers are not required when vehicles are driving within a specific operational design domain, or a defined geographical area with specific environmental and traffic conditions. It is difficult to say which types of vehicles, including electric vehicles with automation functions, are most suitable for Thai buyers, said Mr Wallop. It depends on drivers' lifestyles, where they use cars – urban or rural areas – and why they decide to buy a car in the first place, whether for travelling or working, he said.
1 2 Lucknow: Questioning the state govt's intention behind banning the entry of political leaders in Sambhal to meet violence victims, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said what govt wants to hide in Sambhal. On two occasions the administration has stopped SP delegations, led by leader of opposition (LoP) in the state Assembly Mata Prasad Pandey, from entering Sambhal to meet the family members of those killed in the violence and take first hand stock of the situation. On Wednesday, the administration did not allow Congress MPs Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka from entering Sambhal. On Nov 4 the Sambhal district administration had issued prohibitory orders restricting outsiders from visiting the district till Dec 10. The prohibitory orders came after a 15-member delegation of Samajwadi Party was slated to visit Sambhal to gather information regarding the violence that erupted during the survey of the Shahi Jama Masjid complex in which four persons were killed. "The BJP seems determined to spread hatred, blatantly violate the Constitution and crush all democratic practices and traditions. The BJP first got a survey of Shahi Jama Masjid in Sambhal done on Nov 19. Since everything passed off peacefully during the survey, govt went for another survey where people from the BJP accompanied the administration to the mosque, raising slogans. But no action was taken against the BJP people who raised slogans," Akhilesh said in a statement on Wednesday. "The BJP govt is not allowing political leaders from any party to visit Sambhal. What is it that govt wants to hide in Sambhal? Banning entry into Sambhal reflects the failure of administration. How can govt shy away from taking responsibility for the violence in Sambhal. Evidence on ground zero will expose the conspiracy behind the violence and reveal that everything was sponsored. For how long will govt be able to keep the truth under the carpet?," the former UP chief minister questioned. Akhilesh also questioned the tone and tenor of the administrative officials in Sambhal. "Can govt officials use this type of language in a democracy?," he asked. This was in apparent reference to some videos on social media where some administrative officials were shown using language that was threatening and reflected an approach that could go against govt efforts to restore peace and calm in Sambhal. Akhilesh went on to claim that the administration in Sambhal was not inclined to ensure justice to the people. On the contrary the officials were working to implicate innocents. "Pressure is being mounted on families of the violence victims. BJP's dictatorial practices will not last long. The people of the state will give the BJP a befitting reply in 2027 Assembly polls," Akhilesh said. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

Seafood Market to Grow by USD 150.04 Billion (2024-2028), Report on AI's Impact on Market Trends and Rising Nutrition Awareness - TechnavioWASHINGTON — A ninth U.S. telecom firm has been confirmed to have been hacked as part of a sprawling Chinese espionage campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans, a top White House official said Friday. Biden administration officials said this month that at least eight telecommunications companies, as well as dozens of nations, had been affected by the Chinese hacking blitz known as Salt Typhoon. But Anne Neuberger, the deputy national security advisor for cyber and emerging technologies, told reporters Friday that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to hunt for Chinese culprits in their networks. The update from Neuberger is the latest development in a massive hacking operation that has alarmed national security officials, exposed cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the private sector and laid bare China’s hacking sophistication. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to obtain customer call records and gain access to the private communications of “a limited number of individuals.” Though the FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among those whose communications were accessed. Neuberger said officials did not yet have a precise sense of how many Americans overall were affected by Salt Typhoon, in part because the Chinese were careful about their techniques, but a “large number” were in the Washington-Virginia area. Officials believe the goal of the hackers was to identify who owned the phones and, if they were “government targets of interest,” spy on their texts and phone calls, she said. The FBI said most of the people targeted by the hackers are “primarily involved in government or political activity.” Neuberger said the episode highlighted the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, a topic the Federal Communications Commission is to take up at a meeting next month. “We know that voluntary cybersecurity practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure,” she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking. Tucker writes for the Associated Press.

A trans filmmaker in Winnipeg says he didn’t sleep a wink Thursday night after winning his first filmmaking award. “It’s just so new for me that it was just very emotional at that time ... It was very meaningful,” said Ande Brown. Brown won the first-ever emerging filmmaker’s pitch competition hosted by OurToba Film Network — a non-profit organization which gives resources and creates space for women, non-binary, and gender diverse filmmakers. As part of Brown’s win, he’ll have help with the cost of gear from the Winnipeg Film Group and Sunbelt Rentals. “Since my transition I thought, I have all these stories that just seem to want to come out. Now seems the time to be doing that,” he said. Brown’s pitch for his film called ‘First Shave’ takes him through his own experience as a late transitionist prepping for his very first shave, and said he feels this concept is universally understood. “When I do the film, it will actually be my very first straight-razor shave. Electric razor, yes, that’s for babies I say. But I want to do the real deal,” said Brown. “Once you accomplish something that’s very new for you, that feeling that you get of just accomplishment and pride and that you overcame that fear and that you did something that you really wanted to do.” Kathleen Gallagher, president of the board of directors for OurToba Film Network, says the pitch competition comes at an important time. “If I’ve learned anything with the political climate over the last few years, is something I maybe didn’t think about is ... that there’s a certain fragility to women’s rights, non-binary rights, trans rights, LGBTQ rights, and if we’re not here being a voice, it doesn’t take much for those things to go away,” she said. As for Brown, he’s ready for a new type of story to represent his community. “We have a lot of stories that we have to tell because, when we were younger, there weren’t a lot of options. You were kind of pigeon-holed into one thing or another. And stories you did see about trans people always ended with some tragic end,” said Brown. “I don’t want to make films like that. I want trans people to be shown as the hero. The most stylish person in the room, the smartest person in the room, the person who wins and not always have it be those same old, negative stereotypes that you’ve seen in the past.” ‘First Shave’ is set to film sometime in the next three months and have its premier with OurToba Film Network.Elon Musk has 12 kids with three different partners but he’s managing to carve out quality time with the president-elect’s youngest son, Barron, as they gush about about planets and video games. The two bros apparently first hit it off at the the Trump family’s Thanksgiving dinner at Mar-a-Lago, where Musk has become something of a fixture. Musk sat at Donald Trump’s table with the president-elect and his 18-year-old son. Musk and Barron got down over outer space, said Musk’s mom, Maye Musk, who was also at the holiday dinner. “ Barron and Elon were talking planets ,“ she told Fox Buisiness host Neil Cavuto Thursday. ”They were discussing all the different planets and why Mars is the best place to start a new civilization. And I was very impressed with him, too,” she added, meaning Barron. “They were talking all night,” she later added on X. “Barron is very smart.” Elon later reported on X that he and Barron were discussing ”consciousness and video games.” Barron has reportedly been largely socializing with his classmates at New York University via the internet from his Manhattan Trump Tower home as they play video games. The presidet-elect later had a moment with his “Best Buddy” Musk as the two men “grooved” together, stiffly, to Trump’s favorite song YMCA . Barron appeared embarrassed . But that’s the way it goes with bros sometimes.. Of the Trump clan, Maye Musk offered an interesting perspective: “Everyone is delightful, kind, sweet, generous, interesting and soft-spoken, which is interesting because, as politicians, you can talk loud.” Elon Musk will likely have plenty of time to further cultivate his relationship with Barron because he’s angling to buy a $100 million property near Mar-a-Lago , the New York Post’s Page Six has reported early this week.

Login or signup to continue reading At the start of December, Justin Tatum stated that his Illawarra Hawks could win their four upcoming challenging games against the Perth Wildcats, Melbourne United, Perth and Sydney Kings. On Friday night, the Hawks made it two from two after a breakthrough win over United in Melbourne. The Hawks' 106-93 win at John Cain Arena improved their win/loss record to a league-leading 10-5. As importantly, the performance showed Tatum's team was the real deal and a genuine championship contender. The Hawks' coach was also happy to pick up just his second win over United in nine outings in Melbourne. But Tatum said the round 12 win wasn't a top-tier win as United were missing key players Chris Goulding and Rob Lee. He was, however, happy to see his team play well for four quarters and fight through adversity. "I'm happy how they trusted each other out there. I'm happy how they encouraged each other not to get caught up in anything and just worry about the game. So I was proud of the growth of my group," Tatum said. 'It's a tough place to play. We have not had so much success since I've been the head coach here, but this is not playoffs; this is regular season for us to get better, so I don't really put it as a top-tier win; it's just something to help us grow as a group." Hawks' co-captain Sam Froling was fantastic for Tatum's team, finishing with a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds. In his previous six outings against United, Froling averaged 18 points on 71.9 per cent shooting. Asked why he always did well against United, Froling praised his long-time partner in crime, Tyler Harvey, who also had a big game, contributing 31 points, seven rebounds and four assists, for freeing him up to shine. "It's the beauty of having Tyler on this team. So much focus goes to him, Trey, now, we've got shooters everywhere. They back their bigs in a one-on-one matchup, and I back myself in that matchup, and it tends to work," he said. "The first three minutes, we didn't get some great shots, and I told the guys, to Tyler, get me one, and he straight in. "I think it's a good outlet when we're not getting great shots; you can roll it in. I think I'm smart enough to make the right play and get us a good shot. And many of those shots in the third quarter were me going up low; there was no help. "That's why we have so many good shooters." Froling added the Hawks took a lot of confidence out of beating United convincingly and leapfrogging them to the top of the table. "We come into this game confident with a good game plan. We backed ourselves, and everyone was talking about the record, and we pushed that to the side. This is another game, a team we can beat, and we went out there and executed the game plan and got that." Tatum added that the Hawks weren't overly concerned with recognition and were focused on gaining as many wins as possible. "I think winning speaks for everything, speaks volumes. I think the more games we can win, the more respect we'll get. "We haven't been at the top of the echelon in the league for a while. And so what we're doing is probably surprising the league, but every day, we come to practice and work, and we're not surprising ourselves; we're trying to get to the point where we see our potential together. "We are just going to keep winning." The Hawks' next chance to win is against the Perth Wildcats in Wollongong on Sunday, December 22. Wollongong born and bred.
