- DOJ sues New Jersey over laws giving illegal aliens in-state tuition, says citiz...
The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Thursday against New Jersey, challenging state laws that allow illegal aliens to receive in-state tuition and financial aid, arguing the policies discriminate against U.S. citizens.The lawsuit, filed in federal court, targets the state, several higher education agencies and officials, and is seeking to block enforcement of laws that provide reduced tuition rates and financial assistance to students regardless of their immigration status.DOJ officials argue the policies violate federal law by offering benefits to illegal immigrants that are not equally available to all U.S. citizens."This is a simple matter of federal law: In New Jersey and nationwide, colleges cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens that they do not provide to U.S. citizens," Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate said. "This Department of Justice will not tolerate American students being treated like second-class citizens in their own country."TRUMP 'TOOK NOTES FROM THE GRINCH': STATES SUE OVER SNAP PROGRAM CHANGESUnder current New Jersey law, students who meet residency requirements can qualify for in-state tuition at public colleges regardless of whether they are in the U.S. legally. The state also allows certain illegal immigrant students to access financial aid and scholarships.Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward said the policies unfairly put American students at a disadvantage."Imagine being denied the opportunity of education in your own country," Woodward said. "By granting illegal aliens in-state tuition, the state of New Jersey is doing just that."TRUMP DOJ FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST MINNESOTA OVER TRANS ATHLETE POLICYThe lawsuit is the latest in a broader effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to challenge state policies that provide benefits to illegal immigrants.According to the DOJ, it marks the ninth such legal action filed as part of that initiative.Similar lawsuits in Texas, Kentucky and Oklahoma have resulted in rulings that blocked comparable laws, while additional cases are pending in states including Illinois, Minnesota and California.NEBRASKA ENDS IN-STATE TUITION BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UNDER DOJ DEALSupporters of the policy have argued that in-state tuition eligibility is based on residency, not immigration status, and is intended to expand access to higher education for students who have lived in the state for years.Fox News Digital has reached out to Democrat New Jersey Gov.

South Korea debates what to call North Korea
For Seoul, what to call the North is difficult when you view it as a rebel-held region awaiting reunificationOn a mild spring morning in central Seoul this week, a room of academics and lawyers gathered to debate a question: what should South Korea call North Korea?The task sounds deceptively simple but the answer is far from straightforward, and has provided fodder for columnists in recent years. The answer could even have repercussions for South Korea’s constitutional position. Continue reading... [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Why did Saudi Arabia pull its LIV Golf funding?

Analysts warn global famine fears are rising as food prices climb and fragile supply chains strain amid the Strait of Hormuz crisis, raising the risk of a prolonged, Suez-scale, eight-year disruption.As the conflict entered Day 62, the U.S. maintained its naval blockade of traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports, while Iran continued to effectively close the Strait."Best case, there is an agreement between the U.S. and Iran within the next few weeks, and the Strait reopens," Lars Jensen, CEO and partner at Vespucci Maritime, told Fox News Digital. "— and it has to be a deal where there is trust that Iran is sufficiently satisfied with the deal such that they do not suddenly close the strait again," he said.AIRLINES MAY CUT FLIGHT SCHEDULES AS IRAN TENSIONS DRIVE UP FUEL COSTS, EXPERTS WARN "Even in that case, it will still take months for the supply chains to revert back to normality."President Donald Trump announced on April 21 that he would delay renewed strikes on Iran until it presents a proposal for long-term peace, effectively extending a 14-day ceasefire indefinitely. Trump said Washington’s blockade of Iranian ports has been effective, urging Tehran to "just give up" as tensions escalate over the waterway."Worst case, we can look at the eight-year closure of the Suez Canal from 1967 to 1975," Jensen said.ISRAELI OFFICIALS REPORTEDLY WARN IRAN'S BALLISTIC MISSILES COULD TRIGGER SOLO MILITARY ACTION AGAINST TEHRAN"Despite its importance to the global economy, it proved impossible to reopen the canal for these eight years," he said.The Suez Canal, shut from 1967 to 1975 after the Arab-Israeli conflict, has faced recurring disruption including Red Sea attacks since 2023—driving up insurance costs, creating a "shadow blockade," and curbing traffic.For Hormuz, Jensen says fertilizer—central to agricultural production—is the most critical factor, and any sustained disruption could quickly ripple through global food systems."Fertilizer is the most important element. Thirty percent of the world’s seaborne fertilizer comes from the Persian Gulf," Jensen said. "Fertilizer prices are already rising fast," he warned.IRAN FIRES LIVE MISSILES INTO STRAIT OF HORMUZ AS TRUMP ENVOYS ARRIVE FOR NUCLEAR TALKS "In wealthy countries, it means more expensive food come harvest season, and in poor countries, it means that farmers right now cannot afford fertilizer," Jensen added. "This will lead to the harvest being lower later in the season, leading to rapid increases in food prices in very poor countries — and such a situation increases the risk of famine and conflict."Diplomatic… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Republican state attorneys general join lawsuit to stop $6.2B local TV merger
