  • Trump Orders Release of MLK Assassination Files

    Trump Orders Release of MLK Assassination Files
    Jan 24 2025
    (AURN News) — President Donald Trump has ordered federal intelligence officials to release classified records related to the assassination of civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., along with documents concerning President John F. Kennedy and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. The executive order requires the Director of National Intelligence to present a declassification plan within 15 days, with the complete release of the King assassination records mandated within 45 days. The White House said Trump believes releasing the King records is "in the public interest." In response, the King family issued a statement expressing their personal connection to the upcoming release: "For us, the assassination of our father is a deeply personal family loss that we have endured over the last 56 years. We hope to be provided the opportunity to review the files as a family prior to its public release." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Court Blocks Trump's Birthright Citizenship Ban—For Now

    Court Blocks Trump's Birthright Citizenship Ban—For Now
    Jan 24 2025
    A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. U.S. District Judge John Kaufner ruled Thursday that the order, set to take effect February 19, directly violates the 14th amendment, guaranteeing citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. regardless of their parents' immigration status. The decision came in a lawsuit brought by four states - Washington, Arizona, Illinois, and Oregon - who argued the executive order undermines over a century of legal precedent. If implemented, the order could strip citizenship from hundreds of thousands of children born in the U.S. each year. The fight is part of a larger legal battle with 22 states and civil rights groups challenging Trump's order. The debate draws on longstanding precedent, including a 1989 Supreme Court case affirming that children born on U.S. soil, regardless of their parents' status, are citizens.
