Alito rips race-based claim in high-stakes migrant protections case at Supreme Court
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito pushed back on claims this week that ending deportation protections for Haitian migrants was racially motivated, pressing an attorney to explain how that argument works when the policy has been applied broadly to migrants from many countries.
“You have a really large — you have a really broad definition of who’s white and who’s not white,” Alito, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, said during oral arguments, challenging a claim leveled by the migrants’ lawyer that the Trump Department of Homeland Security (DHS) intentionally targeted non-white migrants when it decided to terminate their temporary protected status (TPS).
The exchange came as the Supreme Court weighed a high-stakes case over the Trump administration’s authority to end TPS protections for tens of thousands of Haitian and Syrian migrants.
The high court’s decision could strip their legal protections and have similar implications for hundreds of thousands of other migrants, meaning DHS could then move to detain and deport them.
TRUMP FOES MELT DOWN THAT SCOTUS IS UNLEASHING ‘RACIAL TERROR’ ON US WITH ICE RAID RULING
Congress created temporary protected status as a form of protection for migrants fleeing war and natural disaster, and the law requires DHS officials to periodically review whether an origin country qualifies under those terms.
Attorney Geoffrey Pipoly, representing the migrants during the oral arguments, argued the courts had some authority to review DHS’ temporary protected status decisions and that the government’s decision to end the protected status for Haitians, in particular, did not follow the law because it was driven by racial bias against “non-white immigrants.”
“The president has disparaged Haitian TPS holders specifically as undesirables from a ‘—-hole country,’ and days after falsely accusing them of ‘eating the dogs and eating the cats of Americans,’ he vowed that he would terminate Haiti’s TPS, and that is exactly what happened,” Pipoly said.
Alito grilled the lawyer over the claim, noting the government’s temporary protected status terminations applied to a range of countries.
“Do you think that if you put Syrians, Turks, Greeks and other people who live around the Mediterranean in a lineup, do you think you could say those people, that all of them, are they all non-white?” Alito asked.
The justice added: “I don’t like dividing the people of the world into these groups.”
Alito began to test Pipoly on which bucket he would sort various nationalities into, white versus non-white, leading Pipoly to argue that the bar for finding racial animus was low.
SCOTUS TO REVIEW TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER ON BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP
“Irrespective of how you do the classification … bare dislike of an unpopular group is a sufficient basis,” Pipoly said.
The case is centered on whether courts can review the government’s TPS decisions and the processes that went into reaching those decisions. Migrants’ lawyers have also made arguments that DHS officials failed to properly assess a country’s conditions or relied on unlawful factors, such as whether termination was of national interest.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) told the Supreme Court those decisions are not subject to judicial review and fall solely under the purview of the executive branch. The DOJ warned that allowing challenges could open the door to widespread litigation over immigration policy.
The migrants’ lawyers, meanwhile, argued in court papers that the DOJ had taken an “extreme position that would insulate flagrantly unlawful executive action from judicial review.”
The conservative justices appeared largely sympathetic to the Trump administration’s arguments, while the liberal justices zeroed in on whether Homeland Security’s alleged racial bias could be unconstitutional.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an Obama appointee, suggested Trump’s public claim that migrants are “poisoning the blood of America” would be a violation of constitutional prohibitions on discrimination by the government, since it was “showing that a discriminatory purpose may have played a part in this decision” to end temporary protected status.
Homeland Security has already terminated the legal status of migrants from six countries, including Venezuela and Honduras, moves that the Supreme Court temporarily greenlit through previous emergency requests. The high court is making a decision on the merits regarding the Haitians and Syrians, meaning it will carry finality and could apply more broadly.
The status of migrants from seven other countries remains on hold while the case is pending, including more than 6,000 Syrian and almost 350,000 Haitian migrants, as well as those from Ethiopia, Myanmar, Yemen, Somalia and South Sudan.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling by the end of June.

Poll finds 61 percent of Americans believe attacking Iran was a mistake | US-Israel war on Iran News
Poll finds that Americans are concerned about impact of the war on the cost of living and sceptical of success thus far.
Published On 1 May 2026
A new poll has found that a large majority of people in the United States believe that the decision to take military action against Iran was a mistake, as the war roils the global economy and fuels cost-of-living concerns in the US.
A Washington Post-ABC-Ipsos poll released on Friday shows that 61 percent of respondents believe the use of military force against Iran was a mistake, with just 36 percent saying it was the right decision.
Recommended Stories
list of 3 itemsend of listThe poll is the latest to find low levels of support for the war launched against Iran by the US and Israel in late February, which has killed thousands of people across the Middle East and sent global energy prices surging.
Asked if they had changed their behaviour due to higher gas prices, 44 percent of respondents said they had cut back on driving, and 42 percent said they had done the same for household expenses. Those figures increased to 56 percent and 59 percent for respondents making less than $50,000 per year.
Those concerns come at a time when President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have dropped to new lows, with voters expressing frustration over economic issues and the cost of living.
The war has also been depicted as a contrast with Trump’s promise to keep the country out of unnecessary foreign wars, and 46 percent of respondents said the decision to attack Iran was inconsistent with the position Trump took during his presidential campaign.
Despite relatively low casualty figures among US forces, the poll found that the war on Iran is as unpopular as the Iraq War was during a period of heightened violence in 2006 and the Vietnam War was in the early 1970s.
Asked whether US military actions against Iran have been successful thus far, 39 percent said they had been unsuccessful, while 19 percent said they had been successful. A plurality of 41 percent said it was too soon to tell.
Support for the war remains robust among members of Trump’s Republican Party, however. Nearly 80 percent of Republicans said that the decision to attack Iran was the correct one, even as they were split evenly between rating operations as successful or stating that it was too soon to tell.

Why some Americans are swapping traditional breakfast cereals for soup
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The traditional “breakfast of champions” might not come from a cereal box these days — with some Americans reaching instead for something warm and savory.
Instead of pouring cereal or flipping pancakes, some people are starting their days with soup.
The goal is to opt for a balanced, protein-packed meal instead of one high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, which can lead to quick energy spikes followed by crashes, according to reports about the soup trend.
3 SOUP RECIPES THAT ARE JUST LIKE SALADS, AS SHARED BY CHEFS AND AUTHORS
Chef and author Suzy Karadsheh, creator of The Mediterranean Dish, promoted the idea of soup for breakfast on TikTok earlier this year, calling this an “ancient remedy” that’s been used across cultures for centuries.
“It’s a great way to fight inflammation — especially that morning inflammation — right away, and it hydrates way better than water,” Karadsheh said in a video, adding that it can help kick-start digestion without a sugar crash.

Karadsheh, who is originally from Egypt and is today based in Atlanta, said the concept isn’t as unusual globally as it may sound to Americans. She noted that it’s common especially in the Mediterranean and Asia, where savory breakfasts such as soups, broths and stews are the norm.
SAVORY OATMEAL BOWLS STIR UP A NEW BREAKFAST CRAZE WITH EGGS, CHEESE AND SPICE
For many people, however, the idea “breaks” traditional breakfast rules, nutritionist Kat Chan wrote in a recent Substack article titled “The Case for Breakfast Soup.”
But she still recommends it.
Some experts say the shift toward protein-rich, whole-food breakfasts is a positive change. (iStock)
“From a nutritional therapy standpoint, warm meals are often easier to digest than cold ones, especially if you’re already feeling the chill,” Chan wrote.
SKIPPING BREAKFAST AND EATING DINNER LATE LINKED TO SURPRISING BONE HEALTH RISK
She added that a warm, savory meal can provide protein, fat and fiber that help support steady blood sugar and sustained energy.
Timing matters, she also said, noting that the body is better at using food for energy in the morning — which is why starting the day with a balanced meal like soup may help support steadier energy.

“I say, ‘Why not?’ to soup [for breakfast],” Lisa Moskovitz, a New York-based registered dietitian and founder of the NY Nutrition Group, told Fox News Digital.
“Depending on what’s inside, many soups can offer an array of nutrients from protein to fiber, and tons of antioxidants.”

“Breakfast does its best work when it contains blood-sugar-balancing and energizing nutrients such as fiber and protein,” she added.
Moskovitz recommends choosing a non-dairy soup packed with vegetables, lean protein and fresh herbs. “Add-ins like chicken, turkey, tofu or eggs — think egg drop soup — all work well,” she said.

Soup can also help with hydration, as it contains both fluids and electrolytes, which is one reason why it is helpful when people are sick.
While unusual to some Americans, soup for breakfast is a long-standing tradition in many global cuisines. (iStock)
The sodium content in soup is the biggest thing to watch out for, Moskovitz said, especially for those with a history of high blood pressure.

Beyond health considerations, cost and convenience may also be driving interest, experts note.
A basic bowl of soup can be inexpensive, especially when made at home in batches with vegetables, broth and a source of protein.
While the trend is growing, experts caution that sodium levels in some soups should be monitored. (iStock)
As for whether the trend is here to stay, Lacey Baier, a Texas-based creator of the blog “A Sweet Pea Chef,” said it could stick among people who are genuinely interested in how food makes them feel.

“What I find encouraging is that the conversation is moving people away from sugary, processed breakfasts and toward something more protein-forward and whole food-based,” Baier, author of the forthcoming “Cleanish Meal Prep: High-Protein Recipes for Real Life,” told Fox News Digital.
“Even if the soup trend itself is short-lived, that direction is a good one,” she said.

15-year-old detained over French govt agency data breach
French authorities have detained a 15-year-old suspected of selling data stolen in a cyberattack on France Titres (ANTS), the country’s agency for issuing and managing administrative documents.
The government agency confirmed the breach and the authenticity of the data offered for sale on a cybercriminal forum by someone using the alias ‘breach3d’.
On April 13, ANTS detected suspicious activity on its network and notified authorities a few days later, on April 16, the Paris Prosecutor’s Office said.
Following an investigation, the authorities believe that the suspected 15-year-old used the moniker ‘breach3d’ to offer for sale between 12 and 18 million records stolen in the ANTS data breach.
The minor faces charges for unauthorized access, persistence, and data exfiltration from a state-run automated personal data processing system, as well as for possession of software that enables the offenses.
The offenses carry a maximum sentence of seven years in prison and a fine of EUR 300,000, the Paris Prosecutor’s Office notes in a press release.
A judge is now overseeing the case. Based on the evidence found, prosecutors are seeking formal charges and have requested that the minor be placed under judicial supervision.
Personal information exposed
On April 20, ANTS disclosed that a threat actor breached its systems and accessed data from individual and professional accounts on the ants.gouv.fr portal.
The government agency determined that among the affected data types were full names, email addresses, dates of birth, postal addresses, and phone numbers.
The announcement came after a threat actor claimed to have compromised ANTS and offered to sell up to 19 million records allegedly stolen in the attack.

In an update on the incident, the agency said that the number of impacted accounts was 11.7 million, but the stolen data could not be used for unauthorized access.
Pending the investigating judge’s decision, the 15-year-old minor has not been formally charged.

Small plane crash in Texas Hill Country leaves five dead | Texas
A small plane crashed among trees in Texas Hill Country, killing all five people onboard, officials said on Friday.
The crash happened in the dark late on Thursday night in Wimberley, a city about 40 miles south-west of the state capital, Austin, the Hays county judge, Ruben Becerra, said in a post on Facebook.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the Cessna 421C crashed around 11.25pm with a pilot and four passengers on board.
“I just heard a loud crash. I felt everything vibrate,” Stacey Rohr, who lives nearby, told local channel KEYE-TV. “Everything was up in flames. It was crazy.”
Cecil Keith said he heard what sounded like an engine backfiring – “pow, pow, pow” – when the plane flew over his house moments before the crash.
“Something was definitely wrong,” he told the TV station.
The plane took off from Amarillo, in north-west Texas, about two hours earlier and was headed to New Braunfels national airport, near Austin, according to the flight history. It crashed not far from its intended destination. Aerial images show the remains of the aircraft destroyed in a wooded area.
Becerra said he would not release the names of the victims until family had been notified.
He said a second aircraft traveling in the area landed safely at the airport in New Braunfels, about 30 miles north-east of San Antonio.
One pilot said he and the Cessna pilot were flying there together, according to air traffic control audio.
“I haven’t heard anything from him,” the pilot says on the recording.
A controller responds: “He started to move erratically and now his track is disappeared from the scope. So we want to make sure everything’s all right with him.”
At least one pilot in the area confirmed the troubled plane’s locator emergency device had emitted a distress signal. The controller called 911.
It was mostly cloudy in the New Braunfels area shortly before the crash and there was a thunderstorm two hours later, the National Weather Service said.
Wimberley, with a population of about 3,000, and New Braunfels, with a population of about 116,000, are both tourist destinations in the Texas Hill Country, drawing hikers attracted to the woody rolling hills and others for tubing on rivers in the area.

Guardians fan robs young girl of home run ball, issues public apology in viral moment
With the weather starting to heat up and the nights getting longer, I can’t think of a better way to spend the spring and summer months than taking in a baseball game at the ballpark.
How could it get any better than that?
I’ll tell you how: catching a home-run ball.

There are few things more thrilling than taking home a dinger from your favorite team’s home game, but one man may have taken things a bit too far in his endeavors to bring back a souvenir from a Cleveland Guardians game earlier this week.
In the bottom of the 5th inning, Guardians outfielder Daniel Schneemann mashed one over the wall in left field, and our overzealous Cleveland fan pounced on it as if it were a loose ball in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
The only problem — he wasn’t the only one going for the ball.
Stealing a ball from a little girl, be it inadvertently or otherwise, on national television, no less, has to be the worst look in the world for a grown man.

WHY BASEBALL ‘PURISTS’ ARE WRONG ABOUT PETE ROSE’S HALL OF FAME CASE
According to ClutchPoints, the adult fan’s name is Maxx Quinn and the young robbery victim is named Evelyn, and, as you can see in the video, Evelyn is pretty bummed she got outmuscled and outhustled for that long fly.
Apparently, someone from the team emerged to give Evelyn and her brother some signed baseballs, but that didn’t stop the people of the internet from going after Quinn for his actions.
It got so bad that Quinn even appeared on a local news show to issue a public apology.
“I mean, first of all, I want to put out an apology. I just want to say, I am sorry. I am sorry to the family, I am sorry to the parents, the little girl, her brother,” Quinn said, live on air.
“I’m so utterly sorry for everything that’s transpired. Like you said, it was a heat-of-the-moment thing. I made a bad decision; a lot of bad decisions. I’m paying for it online. And I understand the backlash, and I understand that everything that everyone has said to me. But there was no mal intent, and I did give it back to her. You know, I didn’t do it in a timely fashion. If I could do it all over again, just grab it, give it to her, and be done with it.”

In all seriousness, it’s nice to see he’s contrite for his actions, and, to her credit, Evelyn accepted his apology.
“Hi Maxx, thanks for giving us the ball back. We forgive you for it. We know the internet has been going wild over this. We hope they forgive you,” she said.
See, all’s well that ends well!
Now the internet can stop calling this guy a scumbag and get back to arguing over redistricting practices and the war in Iran.
Hurray for a return to normalcy!

Average price of gas in California edges past $6 a gallon, highest level in four years | California
The average price for a gallon of gas in California rose to $6 this week as fuel prices across the US reached their highest level in almost four years.
The American Automobile Association reported on Friday that California consumers were paying an average of $6.06, while the national average hit $4.39. The Golden state is the most expensive US market for gas but costs have also risen nationally with a 27-cent rise this week following two weeks of falling prices, AAA said in a statement.
The surge marks the peak in prices since the start of the US war with Iran, which has significantly disrupted the global oil market and driven up gas prices around the world.
The conflict has had significant impacts on US consumers. Americans have paid $21.7bn more to fill their gas tanks since 1 March, Patrick De Haan, the head of petroleum analysis at the firm GasBuddy, said on Thursday. Across the US, gas prices have risen about 44% since late February.
Because of the California’s strict emissions standards, high taxes and reliance on imported petroleum, state residents already pay more for gas than anywhere else in the US. California’s fuel stockpiles hit record lows in April, and gasoline imports dropped sharply.
“California is arguably the state most impacted by the strait of Hormuz in the United States, which has been largely insulated from the events,” said Denton Cinquegrana, chief oil analyst at Dow Jones Energy.
With prices rising across the US, Gavin Newsom, the California governor, has been critical of Donald Trump.
“Every American who fills up their tank this week, buys groceries or books a flight is paying Donald Trump’s Iran war tax,” Newsom said in a press release on Thursday.
Miguel Angel Cruz, who owns a landscaping business that requires him to drive, told Reuters that he used to fill up his truck for $50 but it now costs $80.
“I cannot drive any less,” Cruz said. “Every time we get a new president in the White House, they say this year is gonna be better. But nothing’s changed. It’s the same story, except now it’s worse because of the war in Iran.”
A recent survey found that people are planning fewer vacations over the next six months, and far fewer people are planning to drive to their destinations.
The US is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Route 66, which stretches across eight states to connect Chicago with Los Angeles, with a series of events. About 41% of Americans planned to visit some portion of the route during this year’s celebration, according to an AAA survey.
