US Supreme Court Allows Trump to Revoke Legal Status for 532,000 Migrants

USUnited States|

The US Supreme Court ruled on May 30, 2025, that President Donald Trump's administration can revoke temporary legal status for over 532,000 Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian, and Nicaraguan migrants, facilitating accelerated deportations. This decision puts on hold a previous ruling by Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani that had halted the administration's plans to terminate the immigration "parole" granted by Joe Biden’s administration.

Two of the court's three liberal justices expressed concern, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting and highlighting the potential harm to nearly half a million noncitizens during their legal claims process. Parole, designed for urgent humanitarian reasons, allows beneficiaries to live and work in the US temporarily. Trump's administration argues that reinstating these protections complicates immigration enforcement efforts.

This ruling follows Trump's January 20 executive order aimed at ending humanitarian parole programs. The Department of Homeland Security's initiative to revoke the status supports the administration's push towards a rapid deportation process known as expedited removal, impacting those previously sheltered under Biden's policies.

Tragic Dog Attack Claims Life of One-Month-Old in New York City

In a heartbreaking incident, a one-month-old baby girl was fatally mauled by a family dog in Long Island City, Queens, New York City, on Tuesday morning. The New York Police Department reported that the attack occurred around 6:30 AM while the infant was sleeping in bed between her mother and stepfather, as stated in a CBS News report. The family's six-month-old German Shepherd-Pit Bull mix suddenly turned violent, leading to the tragic outcome. The mother informed authorities that her child was asleep at the time of the incident. Neighbors expressed shock over the attack, describing the neighborhood as dog-friendly. “As a parent, you don’t expect your pet to attack your child,” said local resident Maria Gutierrez. Animal Control has taken custody of the dog, and local authorities are conducting an investigation, interviewing the parents involved. As of now, no charges have been filed in connection with this heart-wrenching event.

Three Massive Asteroids Could Be Headed Toward Earth, Scientists Warn

A new study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics indicates that three large asteroids, identified as 2020 SB, 524522, and 2002 CL1, may be on a collision course with Earth in the coming weeks. Researchers, led by Valerio Carruba of São Paulo State University in Brazil, noted that while these asteroids currently orbit Venus, they are virtually undetectable from Earth due to their position behind the Sun. This “cosmic blind spot” raises concerns about last-minute detection. According to the study, while there is currently no immediate threat to Venus, even a minor gravitational disturbance could redirect these asteroids toward Earth, potentially resulting in catastrophic impacts. A collision could create a crater more than 3 kilometers wide, releasing energy equivalent to a million times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. Researchers from the Rubin Observatory in Chile highlighted the urgent need for early detection, stating that identifying such asteroids only two to four weeks before impact is insufficient for comprehensive defense or evacuation measures.

Herbal Supplements Linked to Rising Cases of Liver Damage in the U.S.

A recent analysis highlights a concerning correlation between the use of herbal and dietary supplements and an increase in liver damage cases in the United States. According to a 2022 study published in the journal Liver Transplantation, supplement-related liver failure requiring transplants surged eightfold from 1995 to 2020. Another study found that approximately 20% of liver toxicity cases nationwide are linked to these supplements, indicating a significant health risk. Dr. Dina Halegoua-De Marzio, a hepatologist at Jefferson Health, expressed concern that many users mistakenly believe these products are inherently safe, although they can pose real risks. Common supplements such as turmeric, black cohosh, Garcinia cambogia, and green tea extract have been identified as particularly problematic due to high doses and potential liver toxicity. Experts emphasize the lack of regulation surrounding these products, with Dr. Robert Fontana from the University of Michigan noting a 50% mismatch between labeled and actual ingredients. Health authorities report approximately 44,000 cases of liver damage linked to drugs annually, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness about the potential dangers of unregulated supplements.
