"Terror & Fear": Trump Moves to Denaturalize Citizens, End Birthright Citizenship, Halt Visa Lottery
The Trump administration is ramping up efforts to strip more naturalized immigrants of their U.S. citizenship, with The New York Times reporting that officials are seeking 100 to 200 cases per month. The news comes less than two weeks after the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case to decide the constitutionality of President Trump’s executive order aiming to end birthright citizenship. “During the first Trump administration, they had 25 [denaturalization] cases per year, and … for the 15 years before the first Trump administration, they had fewer than 15 cases per year,” says Mae Ngai, professor of Asian American studies and history at Columbia University. “So this is an incredible escalation.”
Kilmar Ábrego García Reunites with Family, But Trump Admin Threatens to Jail & Deport Him Again
We get an update on the extraordinary case of Kilmar Ábrego García, the Maryland father who first made headlines in March when he was wrongfully deported to El Salvador and held in the notorious CECOT mega-prison. Ábrego García was returned to the United States after months of public outrage, but his ordeal continued as the Trump administration has threatened to deport him to Uganda, Eswatini and Liberia, despite having no ties to those African countries. Last week, a federal judge ordered him released from an ICE jail in Pennsylvania and blocked further arrests as a denial of due process. Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, one of Ábrego García’s attorneys, says the administration’s actions are primarily meant “to punish him” for standing up for his rights. “It’s also about the government using him, more or less at random, to stand for the principle that they get to do whatever they want, whenever they want, to whomever they want — and, specifically, courts can’t stop them.”

Doctors in Jail? Hospitals Stripped of Fed Funding? The Criminalization of Trans Youth Healthcare
The Trump administration on Thursday announced new measures to target hospitals and doctors providing care to trans youth. Under the new rules unveiled by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, who leads Medicaid and Medicare, the government would strip federal funding for any hospitals that provide pediatric gender-affirming care. The new rules were announced a day after the House of Representatives narrowly approved a bill that aims to criminalize providing gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18 and subject providers to hefty fines and prison time. “This is a drastic departure from any concern about science, concern about parents and their rights,” says Chase Strangio, co-director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s LGBTQ & HIV Project. “It is putting hospitals in an impossible situation, and just another example of this administration undermining and threatening all of our health and welfare.” We also speak with Dr. Jeffrey Birnbaum, a pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist who works with transgender youth in New York City. He says the families he works with are “terrified right now,” but vows to continue his work. “I refuse to stop providing this care, knowing that I could potentially face 10 years in prison and a felony charge. I’m willing to go down that route, if necessary.”
