<p>Senate Republicans, reportedly coordinating with the White House, are advancing legislation to ban sanctuary cities and states and to make local politicians who defy federal immigration laws potentially subject to federal criminal liability. Sponsors say the bills would prohibit sanctuary policies, strip federal grants, and permit federal enforcement actions against jurisdictions that refuse cooperation. House Republicans have already moved related measures and DHS/DOJ officials are escalating pressure on sanctuary jurisdictions. Opponents say the proposal risks unconstitutional federal commandeering of state and local officials under the Tenth Amendment and will prompt legal challenges and political fights in the Senate and debate.

<p>Today the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6–3 decision, allowed Texas’s controversial 2026 congressional map to stand for the 2026 elections, staying a lower court’s order that had blocked the map as a likely racial gerrymander. The map, drawn in 2025 and signed by Gov. Greg Abbott, is engineered to net Republicans five additional House seats and reshape several urban districts. The ruling clears the way for the new lines to be used while litigation continues, putting vulnerable Democrats — including Reps. Jasmine Crockett and Al Green — at risk of losing their seats. The three liberal justices dissented strongly.
