Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican music sensation, has been making headlines recently with his approach to his upcoming world tour and his outspoken actions in Puerto Rico. Addressing speculation about his tour, Bad Bunny clearly stated that he does not intend to emulate Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. While Swift's tour is known for highlighting various stages of her career, Bad Bunny aims to concentrate solely on his new album, opting against a full career retrospective. His comments were made during a discussion about his upcoming performances, particularly highlighting concerts in Spain, where he noted, "First of all, I'm not Taylor Swift." This statement was intended to manage fan expectations and clarify his artistic focus for this tour.Meanwhile, Bad Bunny's assertive voice was also evident in a different arena. While filming in Puerto Rico, the artist publicly criticized the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during an on-the-ground raid. Bad Bunny's fiery response was captured in a video that circulated widely, showcasing his concern and willingness to use his platform for social issues. His comments were directed at the actions of ICE agents during the arrest, as he pointedly called them out, highlighting the intense and often controversial nature of such operations in his homeland.Amidst his clear intentions for his tour and his activism, fans are curious about Bad Bunny's touring plans beyond his new album. While there's ongoing speculation about a U.S. tour in 2025, the artist has yet to commit to any definitive plans for dates in the United States with his "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" tour. Instead, he emphasized the distinct nature of his tour approach, focusing more intimately on new work rather than an expansive, retrospective celebration.Bad Bunny, hailed for his boundary-pushing music and dynamic performances, remains a compelling figure in the global music scene. His commitment to prioritizing new music on his tour and his willingness to speak on social issues demonstrate not only his evolving artistry but also his dedication to addressing significant socio-political topics.

Send us a textThe ongoing activities throughout the U.S. by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been dominating the news cycle recently and concerns and questions are growing about what to do if you or someone you love has an interaction with ICE at your place of employment, school or inside your community. Association boards face unique challenges in today's immigration environment. Should boards and their management professionals screen residents for immigration status? What about the employees of association vendors or the residents' employees? In this week's Take It To The Board podcast, host Donna DiMaggio Berger sits down with immigration law expert Ira Kurzban (he literally wrote THE BOOK on Immigration Law) for a behind-the-scenes look at his Supreme Court arguments, current ICE enforcement tactics, and a comprehensive discussion on what could happen if federal agents arrive at private residential communities.A personal story sets the stage as Ira shares how his father arrived alone from Romania at age 12. This profound connection to immigration fueled Ira's decades-long legal advocacy, including arguing McNary v. Haitian Refugee Center before the Supreme Court – a landmark case that preserved judicial review of constitutional challenges to the immigration system.The conversation shifts to practical concerns for community associations as immigration enforcement intensifies. Donna and Ira deliver clear guidance on Fourth Amendment protections, explaining the critical distinction between administrative and judicial warrants when ICE agents appear at association properties. They emphasize that private communities retain significant rights to verify warrants and protect resident privacy.Whether you serve on a board, manage a community, or simply care about constitutional rights, this conversation provides essential insights for navigating the complex intersection of immigration enforcement and private property rights. Listen now to understand what's at stake when federal authorities knock on your community's door.Conversation Highlights: Why social media has significantly influenced both immigration policy and public perception of immigrantsWhat key immigration reform Ira recommends for today's policymakers and why it mattersHow certain countries are successfully balancing border protection with legal immigration and population growthWhy board members and property managers should understand their legal rights and obligations when immigration authorities approach private residential communitiesWhat immediate, informed actions boards need to take if ICE arrives at a property to avoid facing legal consequences How Ira prepared for and argued the landmark McNary v. Haitian Refugee Center case before the U.S. Supreme Court, and its impact on immigration lawHow immigration law is expected to evolve over the next 5 to 10 years and what factors will drive that changeRelated Links:Article: Miami Herald Op Ed: In South Florida, when ICE comes knocking, how should your HOA react?Book: Kurzbans Immigration Law Sourcebook, 15th EditionArticle: Becker Service Announcement: Florida's New Immigration LawBiography: Ira Kurzban

They're paying 20- 27% more than to cover the lease on these buildings. The taxpayers are paying for these empty buildings. Why are these buildings empty? Well, one reason why is because Governor Tim Walsh does not require federal employees to go to work here. They're still working from home. Therefore, no one's coming down here to work. Crime has went up in this city because no one's coming to work. Everyone's left. No shops are open, no restaurants are opened. This is what is happening in Minneapolis.

On Thursday, the Trump administration began directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to pause immigration investigations and enforcement actions in the agricultural, hotel, and restaurant industries. Before ICE issued the new guidance to its field agents, President Donald Trump publicly acknowledged his immigration agenda had negatively impacted these industries and promised changes. However, on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told its staff that it had reversed this decision and to continue immigration raids at farms, hotels, and restaurants.

President Donald Trump left the G7 summit earlier than planned Monday night, saying something “bigger” is coming. He also said the United States knows exactly where the Iranian supreme leader is hiding, adding, “Our patience is running thin.”A three-judge appellate panel on Tuesday considered whether the California National Guard should remain under Trump's control, following recent protests in Los Angeles over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. Meanwhile, California lawmakers are proposing a bill that would ban law enforcement officers from concealing their faces during operations.The New York City comptroller was placed in handcuffs Tuesday after a scuffle at the immigration courthouse.

This Day in Legal History: Glass-Steagall SignedOn June 16, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Banking Act of 1933 into law—a pivotal piece of Depression-era legislation better known by the names of its congressional architects: Senator Carter Glass and Representative Henry Steagall. The law's timing was not accidental; it came just months after the catastrophic banking failures that had shuttered thousands of banks and evaporated public trust in the financial system. At its core, the act sought to restore that trust through structural reform, not just emergency patchwork.The most well-known feature of the law was the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), which for the first time guaranteed Americans' bank deposits up to a set amount. This singular policy innovation helped stem the tide of bank runs and brought stability to the retail banking sector almost overnight.But the law went further. In what became known as the Glass–Steagall provisions, it imposed a formal separation between commercial banking and investment banking. The rationale was simple: banks that take deposits and issue loans should not also be speculating in stocks, bonds, or other risky assets. The aim was to curtail the kind of speculative behavior that had, in part, fueled the 1929 crash.This firewall between different banking functions endured for decades, until its gradual erosion and eventual repeal under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. Critics of deregulation would later argue that dismantling Glass–Steagall helped set the stage for the 2008 financial crisis.So, why does June 16 matter? Because it marks the day Congress decided that the rule of law—not just market forces—would govern American finance. It's a reminder that even in moments of deep economic despair, institutional design and legislative action can restore public confidence. The legacy of the 1933 Banking Act lives on every time someone deposits a paycheck without worrying if their bank will still be open next week.President Donald Trump has ordered a major escalation in deportation operations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), targeting the largest U.S. cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. The initiative, described by Trump as the "single largest Mass Deportation Program in History," comes amid widespread protests and legal opposition. Trump framed the policy as necessary to remove "millions" of undocumented migrants but also pledged to soften its impact on sectors like agriculture and hospitality, which rely heavily on immigrant labor.ICE is now arresting roughly 2,000 undocumented individuals daily, a significant increase from the Biden administration's rates. Trump aide Stephen Miller has pushed for even higher daily arrests, aiming for 3,000. This surge coincides with a drop in the number of foreign workers, contributing to an overall labor force decline.In response to protests—particularly in Los Angeles—Trump deployed National Guard troops and up to 700 active-duty Marines to secure federal property, sparking backlash from local leaders. California Governor Gavin Newsom has sued the administration, challenging the legality of the troop deployment. A federal appeals court is currently reviewing a lower court's restriction on the National Guard's use.Trump Orders ICE to Expand Deportations in Largest US CitiesSenate Republicans are preparing to unveil their draft of President Trump's sweeping $3 trillion economic package, aiming for passage by Independence Day. But one key detail remains conspicuously unresolved: the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap.The draft, expected Monday, reflects weeks of intraparty negotiation. Finance Committee Chair Mike Crapo has been trying to thread the needle between budget hawks, business-friendly Republicans, and clean energy holdouts. While the bill includes permanent extensions of key Trump-era business tax cuts—like R&D deductions, interest expensing, and full depreciation—the SALT cap remains a political landmine.The House version, passed earlier this year, raised the SALT cap to $40,000 in a bid to placate Republicans from high-tax states like New York, New Jersey, and California. Senate GOP leaders, by contrast, are floating either retaining the $10,000 cap or leaving it blank for now. Majority Leader John Thune admitted there's little appetite among senators from low-tax states to raise it.The SALT cap is more than a tax policy footnote—it's a litmus test for how seriously Republicans take their own rhetoric on fiscal responsibility. Repealing or expanding the cap would disproportionately benefit wealthy households in blue states while blowing a hole in federal revenues. It's a strange hill for a so-called “populist” party to die on.House Speaker Mike Johnson is pressuring the Senate to keep the $40,000 cap, warning that anything less could tank the bill in the House. It's a delicate dance between appeasing suburban Republicans and not torching whatever remains of fiscal conservatism.Meanwhile, energy companies are watching closely to see how the bill handles the phase-out of clean energy credits. Foreign investors are lobbying against the "Section 899 revenge tax," and Medicaid work requirements face their own internal friction. States may not be ready to implement them, and pushback is mounting over penalizing low-income parents.Senate to Unveil Trump Tax Bill Draft With SALT Fight UnresolvedA federal judge in Boston is weighing whether to block President Trump's latest move to bar foreign nationals from studying at Harvard University, as part of a broader legal fight over immigration, education, and executive power.The administration's proclamation—signed earlier this month—cites national security concerns and temporarily suspends the entry of international students bound for Harvard. It also directs the State Department to consider revoking visas for those already enrolled. The measure follows Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's earlier attempt to strip Harvard's certification to host international students, which the court temporarily blocked.Harvard, which counts nearly 6,800 international students (about 27% of its student body), argues that the Trump administration is engaging in unconstitutional retaliation. The university claims it's being punished for resisting White House efforts to control its governance, curriculum, and ideological direction—an alleged violation of First Amendment protections.Trump's proclamation, and the broader freeze on $2.5 billion in Harvard funding, mark an unprecedented federal offensive against the country's oldest and wealthiest university. Harvard is now seeking a broad injunction to protect its ability to host foreign students while its lawsuits proceed.The Justice Department, for its part, is asking the court to treat Trump's proclamation separately from Noem's earlier actions, arguing it rests on different legal grounds and doesn't expel current students—at least not yet.The outcome of today's hearing could have profound implications, not just for Harvard, but for how far a sitting president can go in leveraging immigration law to reshape higher education.Harvard to urge judge to bar Trump from closing doors for international students | Reuters This is a public episode.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got fighting words. People are riled up here in Ontario about some more bad bills, and people in the U.S. are riled up about another week of living in Trumpland including his most dangerous moves against civil liberties yet. If you're a Canadian concerned about these things, you might want to listen to this week's guest because he has some ideas on how to fight back! This Thursday, June 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Six Weeks, 17 Fights. The Ontario Legislature rose last week after only sitting for a total of six weeks. And yet, in that small space of time, Doug Ford and his government managed to upset just about everyone from municipal leaders, to environmentalists, to Indigenous communities thank to the passage of the highly controversial Bills 5 and 17. These measures, which are supposed to create more housing, come at a time when housing starts are at their slowest level since 2009, so what is all this for? Battle Los Angeles. Last Friday, protest erupted in the Los Angeles area after agents for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) started arresting undocumented people looking for work outside a Home Depot. The raids seem to be the brain child of Stephen Miller, Donald Trump's most trusted advisor, especially on matters of racial animus. The eruption of protests, and the calling of the National Guard, has people concerned, especially now before Trump's birthday army parade. How worried should we be? Charlie in Charge. He may not be in Parliament anymore, but Charlie Angus is still making waves. Travelling coast-to-coast-to-coast now, Angus is aiming to rallying ordinary Canadians in the fight against fascism and to promote resiliency and resistance in local communities, and he's bring that message to Guelph in an event on Thursday June 19. Before that though he will join us here on Open Sources to talk about why you can't leave it to the politicians and how you can start to get more politically involved. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.
United States President Donald Trump sent the National Guard and US Marines to quell big community protests in Los Angeles, California against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency's forced deportations of immigrants.

Michael Savage warns that there could be backlash at the midterm elections if Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targets not just criminals but also hard working Hispanic immigrants. He argues that arresting productive immigrants will alienate the Hispanic community and harm Republicans politically. He stresses the need for targeted enforcement focused on dangerous criminals. Savage also shares personal anecdotes about immigrants and stresses the importance of a balanced approach to protect America strategically. Savage blasts the left-wing agitators wreaking havoc on Los Angeles and other cities nationwide.

Speaking at a Wednesday news conference, Johnson condemned President Donald Trump's decision to deploy federal troops to help control the riots in Los Angeles, which were triggered by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in the city. The mayor referred to the federal crackdown as a “war on our culture” and urged city residents to take action, the Tribune reported.

Thursday, June 12 is scheduled to be the last day for the New York Senate to be in session for 2025.

The Trump administration is going to increase its operations to deport illegal immigrants. President Donald Trump said during a recent press conference that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations will be spreading to every major city in the United States, and similar statements are being issued by other government agencies.And in other news, a federal judge has blocked an emergency request from California Gov. Gavin Newsom to remove National Guard troops from their operations in Los Angeles.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

President Donald Trump says the United States has reached a deal with China as both sides wrapped up their trade talks in London. In a Truth Social post, the president confirmed that the agreement will ensure China supplies the necessary rare earths and full magnets. “We are getting a total of 55% tariffs, China is getting 10%. Relationship is excellent!” the president wrote in all caps.Protests that began in Los Angeles against immigration enforcement operations spread to more cities on Tuesday, with further demonstrations planned for this weekend. Protesters have begun gathering in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, Washington, and Chicago, and are calling for an end to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations targeting illegal immigrants. In some locations, demonstrators have clashed with law enforcement, and protesters have been arrested.Elon Musk has stepped back from his recent feud with President Donald Trump. Musk wrote on social media platform X: "I regret some of my posts about President Donald Trump last week. They went too far." He did not say which specific posts he meant, though he has deleted several that were critical of Trump. One of those signaled support for impeaching the president.
In a humorous segment on the June 11, 2025, episode of The Clay Edwards Show, I shared a fictional breaking news story about the cartoon character Speedy Gonzales, a Mexican mouse, being arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). I described how Speedy was apprehended early that morning outside a cheese factory in El Paso, where he was working after his temporary visa expired, allegedly to support a "cheese habit." I recounted how he tried to evade ICE's new “Mouse Unit,” which uses trained cats, by running fast and yelling in broken English, but was quickly caught. I played a clip of a staged interaction where American TV personality Dr. Phil questioned Speedy at the scene, with Speedy claiming to be a “citizen of Earth” and denying false charges of “sex crimes with children,” joking that he thought the cheese was “aged.” I noted that Speedy's cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, was also arrested, and both were held in ICE custody pending deportation. I revealed that the anonymous tip leading to Speedy's capture came from Sylvester the Cat, his longtime nemesis, adding that Sylvester got the “last laugh.” I used the story to inject levity, commenting that even famous cartoon characters aren't above deportation laws.
Tensions boil over in Los Angeles as protests erupt outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. A radical leftist group, Unión del Barrio — dubbed by some as a "Mexican BLM clone" — is at the center of the unrest, with fiery demonstrations and confrontations with police.This uprising follows previous failed protest attempts targeting Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Critics claim that left-wing NGOs and political operatives are trying to revive the chaos of 2020's "Summer of Love" using new activist groups as proxies.
On June 6, 2025, protests began in Los Angeles, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided several city locations to arrest people allegedly involved in illegal immigration and other violations. Several of the protests turned violent after protestors clashed with the Los Angeles Police Department and ICE. Also the review of the 1998 action thriller film, The Siege directed by Edward Zwick..

This Day in Legal History: Henderson v. United States DecidedOn June 5, 1950, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Henderson v. United States, 339 U.S. 816 (1950), a significant civil rights ruling concerning racial segregation in interstate transportation. Elmer W. Henderson, an African American passenger, had been denied equal dining services on a train operated by the Southern Railway Company under a policy that enforced segregation. Although a dining car had a partition supposedly to accommodate Black passengers, in practice Henderson was often unable to access equivalent service due to timing and seat availability.The case reached the Supreme Court after the Interstate Commerce Commission failed to provide meaningful relief. In a unanimous opinion written by Justice Fred Vinson, the Court held that the railway's practices violated the Interstate Commerce Act, particularly its provision requiring carriers to provide equal treatment and avoid undue prejudice. Importantly, the Court based its reasoning not on constitutional grounds (such as the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment), but on statutory interpretation, finding that the carrier's conduct constituted an unjust and unreasonable discrimination.This ruling marked an early and important step toward dismantling legally sanctioned segregation in public accommodations, prefiguring later landmark decisions like Brown v. Board of Education (1954). Although not framed as a constitutional equal protection case, Henderson nonetheless contributed to the legal groundwork of the civil rights movement and challenged the legitimacy of the “separate but equal” doctrine in practical terms.SAP, Europe's largest software company, has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a decision that revived an antitrust lawsuit brought by its competitor, Teradata. The case centers on allegations that SAP unlawfully tied its business-planning applications to a required purchase of its own database software, which competes with Teradata's products. SAP argues that such software integration benefits consumers and constitutes healthy competition, not anti-competitive conduct.The lawsuit was initially filed by California-based Teradata in 2018 after the companies ended a joint venture. SAP had prevailed in the lower court, but the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed that decision in December, stating a jury should decide the case. SAP's petition criticizes the appellate court's reliance on a version of the “per se rule,” under which the conduct is presumed illegal without a detailed analysis. Instead, SAP advocates for applying the more nuanced “rule of reason” standard, which considers both competitive harms and justifications.SAP also claims the ruling conflicts with how a different federal appeals court treated a similar antitrust issue in the historic Microsoft case. The Supreme Court has not yet decided whether to hear the case.This case hinges on the concept of “tying,” where a company conditions the sale of one product on the purchase of another, potentially stifling competition. It's significant because whether courts apply a strict “per se” rule or the more flexible “rule of reason” can dramatically affect the outcome in such antitrust disputes.Tech giant SAP asks US Supreme Court to reconsider rival's antitrust win | ReutersA federal judge in Washington, D.C., has dismissed a lawsuit filed by three Democratic Party committees accusing President Donald Trump of trying to undermine the independence of the Federal Election Commission (FEC). U.S. District Judge Amir Ali ruled that the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee failed to demonstrate any “concrete and imminent injury” necessary to sustain a legal challenge.The lawsuit, filed in February 2025, contested an executive order issued by Trump that aimed to increase White House control over independent federal agencies, including the FEC. The order stated that the legal views of the president and the attorney general would be “controlling” for federal employees and prohibited them from expressing opposing positions. Democrats claimed this language threatened the FEC's independence and could deter campaign planning.Judge Ali, however, noted that administration lawyers had assured the court that the executive order would not be used to interfere with the FEC's decision-making. He also found the plaintiffs' concerns too speculative, emphasizing that the Supreme Court requires a demonstrated change in the relationship with the agency in question, which the plaintiffs had not shown.The judge's decision hinged on the plaintiffs' lack of standing, a fundamental requirement in federal court. To proceed with a lawsuit, plaintiffs must show a specific, actual, or imminent injury caused by the defendant. In this case, speculative harm and vague concerns about agency behavior were insufficient. This principle helps prevent courts from weighing in on political disputes where no direct harm can be proven.Trump defeats Democrats' lawsuit over election commission independenceThe Trump administration is pursuing a new $25 million contract to allow U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to conduct DNA testing on families facing deportation. The goal, according to ICE, is to verify family relationships—but critics warn the program could lead to unnecessary family separations, especially in cases involving non-biological caregivers like godparents. Civil rights advocates also raise concerns that the DNA data could be misused for unrelated criminal investigations and stored indefinitely.The contract was initially awarded in May to SNA International, a firm specializing in forensic identification. However, Bode Cellmark Forensics filed a protest with the Government Accountability Office, arguing the contract wasn't competitively bid. ICE subsequently issued a stop-work order on the contract pending resolution of the protest, with a decision expected by September 2.This is not ICE's first attempt at rapid DNA testing. A similar program began in 2019 during Trump's first term to detect alleged “fraudulent” parent-child relationships, often targeting migrant families. Though handed over to Customs and Border Protection in 2021, the Biden administration ended it in 2023. Reports since then have highlighted issues with consent, with some migrants mistaking DNA swabs for COVID-19 tests or feeling coerced into participation under threat of legal consequences.Privacy advocates argue that such widespread collection of genetic data lacks transparency and oversight. The Georgetown Law Center on Privacy and Technology recently sued the Department of Homeland Security for failing to provide records on how DNA samples from migrants are collected and stored.The revived DNA testing raises key legal questions about informed consent and the scope of data use by federal agencies. When individuals are unaware of what they're consenting to—or coerced into it—the practice may violate federal standards for ethical data collection, especially under the Privacy Act and due process protections.ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract This is a public episode.

The increase in highly publicized deportations is unnerving both undocumented and documented migrants in the United States. Indigenous people from other countries, some who have visas or are awaiting decisions from immigration proceedings, are among those caught up in the Trump administration's focus on mass deportations. Many of those who remain say they live in fear of being apprehended by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The New York Times reports immigration actions appear to have ramped up in May. The top deportation destination are Guatemala and Honduras, places where Indigenous people are fleeing violence and poverty. We'll talk with people working with migrants about what is happening on the ground and what is different than actions in the past.

Join Jim and Greg for the 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the indictment of a Wisconsin judge for helping an illegal immigrant escape Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), President Trump's plan to lift sanctions on Syria, and George Clooney's story of President Biden's cognitive decline.First, after a quick note on the latest air traffic control concerns at Newark Airport, Jim and Greg welcome news of a grand jury indictment against Judge Hannah Dugan. She's accused of helping a criminal illegal immigrant avoid arrest by ICE. New reports suggest the judge went even further to shield the defendant from federal authorities. But with the case unfolding in deep blue Milwaukee, they wonder if the prosecution can actually win a conviction.Next, they analyze President Trump's announcement from the Middle East that he intends to lift U.S. sanctions on Syria and its new leadership. Is it a shrewd, strategic attempt to peel Syria away from Iran and Russia, or a premature reward for a leader with a long history in radical Islamist terrorism? Jim explains why he thinks Trump is making the right decision.Finally, they react to George Clooney's claim that President Biden failed to recognize him at a major fundraiser Clooney hosted in June 2024. While some on the right suggest Clooney was only alarmed because Biden's lack of recognition bruised his ego, Jim points to this as another example that Biden was not up to the job but Democrats and the media tried to cover for him until they couldn't any longer.Please visit our great sponsors:No missed calls, no missed customers with OpenPhone.
