Lankford, one of three co-authors who spent months in late 2023 drafting a bipartisan border bill that ultimately failed to make it through the Senate, said legal challenges in court are part of the reason that Republicans in Congress ought to be thinking now about legislation, during an interview with the Washington Examiner.

“There will be a need for some legislation,” Lankford told the Washington Examiner during a phone call. “Right now, there’s not a need for it. I think once the court makes some rulings, then we’ll see what authorities are still needed to be able to make clear so that no one has to question again the power of the president to be able to protect the nation.

Lankford said regardless of how the courts rule in the more than 50 immigration-related lawsuits that plaintiffs have brought against the Trump administration since Jan. 20, concrete plans will need to be put into place to ensure the border does not see the millions of illegal crossings that it did under President Joe Biden.

WASHINGTON–The executive orders President Donald Trump is set to sign on Wednesday include an order to ensure school discipline policies are not based on DEI and an order restricting the use of disparate-impact liability legal theory, Breitbart News has learned.

A White House document provided to Breitbart News states that Trump’s expected education order aims to bolster classroom safety and order by ensuring disciplinary policies are based on a student’s behavior rather than “DEI” policy.

“The Order requires new guidance to local and state educational agencies regarding school discipline, emphasizing compliance with Title VI protections against racial discrimination and preferencing,” the document notes.

The U.S. Supreme Court has vacated a district court’s order to stop deporting illegal-alien Venezuelan criminals and terrorists under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

The high court ruled 5-4 yesterday that federal Judge James Boasberg, of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., erred in blocking the Trump administration from deporting five detainees. The detainees sued the administration on the wrong grounds, the court ruled, which in turn meant they sued in the wrong district.

The court also ruled that the administration must notify the criminals before they are deported.

The ruling means that the administration can again begin deporting the savage Venezuelans who, as members of the vicious Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, are responsible for rapes, murders, and other crimes nationwide.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin said it is “not a binary choice” to either protect the environment or grow the economy.

“We don’t have to just choose one,” he explained.

Joining Breitbart News Washington bureau chief Matt Boyle on the Breitbart News Saturday radio show, Zeldin went over his recent historic launch of the largest deregulatory effort in U.S. history and talked about the EPA’s sweeping deregulations to “save the coal industry” and “bring down the cost of living.”

After announcing 31 deregulations on Wednesday, including the termination of the Biden administration’s “Environmental Justice and DEI arms of the agency (EJ/DEI),” Zeldin told Boyle, “Undoubtedly, we’re going to be able to create jobs, including inside the American auto sector.”

“We will bring down the cost of living. It’s going to be easier to heat your home, to purchase a vehicle, to operate a business,” the former New York congressman said, touting President Donald Trump’s economic plan.

Supporters of President Donald Trump have said for years that he would clean up Washington, D.C. While they were usually talking about the federal government, it turns out Trump is cleaning up the district as well.

Trump posted on social media that Washington must clean up “all of the unsightly homeless encampments in the City, specifically including the ones outside of the State Department, and near the White House.” That was followed up with a call to Mayor Muriel Bowser, who immediately ordered an encampment near the State Department to be cleared. Bowser gave residents one day’s notice to vacate despite the city’s homeless policy that requires two weeks’ notice to leave.

Bowser is backing off in other respects, too. Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) renewed GOP efforts to rename “Black Lives Matter Plaza,” the two blocks where Bowser had the city paint a giant “mural” on the road. (The “mural” is just the phrase “Black Lives Matter” in giant block letters). In response, Bowser is having it painted over. With Republicans controlling both chambers and Trump in the White House, Bowser is trying to back down before Republicans actually flex that power, and she is portraying it as something that was always part of her plan despite her calling it a “permanent monument.”

In a few weeks, Donald Trump has done what his prevaricating predecessor declared to be impossible: he has brought the border under control. Those of us who watch the goings and comings of illegal border crossings are familiar that Donald Trump 45 did a stellar job of taking a border crisis and bringing it within appropriate management.

For instance, in the Yuma sector alone, Trump 45 brought encounters with illegal aliens to a previously unheard of 8600 in the last year of Trump’s first term. That was astounding, especially in light of Biden’s border crisis which often saw more encounters in a weekend than in Trump’s entire last year.
