WASHINGTON, DC - A BILL THAT TWO BROOKLYN CONGRESSMEMBERS HAVE COSPONSORED would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to perform an initial health screening on detainees. House Resolution 7335 , which Rep. Raul Rodriguez, Democrat of California, introduced on Tuesday, Feb. 3, and which is now referred to committee, has 73 cosponsors, including eight from New York and two from Brooklyn: Reps. Nydia M. Velazquez, D-07, and Dan Goldman, D-10.

Judges have repeatedly ruled that federal law allows the president to make only one interim appointment (lasting 120 days) as U.S. Attorney in any given federal district, after which the position may only be filled by a Senate-confirmed nominee or a judicially installed placeholder. That basic of statutory interpretation has led to the disqualification of New Jersey "U.S. Attorney" Alina Habba, Eastern District of Virginia's Lindsey Halligan (no matter what her signature line currently says), Sigal Chattah in Nevada, and Bill Essayli in Southern California.

No, it's simply a factually accurate statement that when a judge assumes for him or herself the powers that have been delegated by the Constitution to the president, that that is a form of illegal insurrection.

The Supreme Court has rolled back the sweeping injunctions that blocked President Donald Trump's executive order targeting birthright citizenship, seen as a win for Trump.
