Quick Glance: Legal Battle Over Texas Immigration Law Intensifies Again
  • A federal appeals court issued a ruling late on Tuesday that once more halts Texas from apprehending migrants suspected of unlawfully entering the United States, shortly after the Supreme Court implemented the stringent new immigration law.

  • Earlier in the day, a split decision by the Supreme Court granted Texas permission to enforce a statute granting law enforcement extensive authority to detain migrants believed to have illegally crossed the border while the legal conflict regarding the provision unfolds.

  • Opponents view the legislation as the most extreme effort by a state to regulate immigration since the passage of an Arizona law over a decade ago, parts of which were invalidated by the Supreme Court.

  • The dispute over the immigration statute in Texas is among several legal clashes between Texan officials and the Biden administration concerning the extent to which the state can monitor the Texas-Mexico border and deter unauthorized border crossings.

Quick Glance: Trump's Victory in Iowa
  • Donald Trump has achieved an overwhelming victory in the first US election contest of 2024, easily fending off a reduced field of Republicans in the Iowa caucuses.

  • With an estimated 99% of the votes counted, Trump was at 51%, DeSantis at 21.2%, and Haley at 19.1%.

  • The former president has shattered the previous record for the largest margin of victory in a contested Republican presidential race in the state, which stood at 12 percentage points.

  • An early estimate indicates that 100,000 Republicans participated in the caucuses on Monday, significantly lower than the turnout in 2016, according to Iowa Republican party chairman Jeff Kaufmann.

Quick Glance: Vivek Ramaswamy Withdraws 2024 Presidential Bids, Endorses Donald Trump
  • Ramaswamy ended his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination and announced his support for former President Donald Trump on Monday after finishing a distant fourth in Iowa’s leadoff caucuses.

  • He made the decision after realizing there was no way forward for him in the race, 'without things that we don’t want to see happen in this country.'

  • The 38-year-old political novice, who tried to replicate Trump’s rise as a bombastic, wealthy outsider, said he called the former president on Monday evening to congratulate him on his victory in Iowa.

  • Ramaswamy said he would likely appear with Trump in New Hampshire Tuesday night and suggested that DeSantis and Haley should also withdraw from the race.

Quick Glance: Defamation Trial: Trump Accuser E. Jean Carroll to Testify
  • Donald Trump was threatened with expulsion from his Manhattan civil trial for repeatedly ignoring a warning to keep quiet while E. Jean Carroll testified.

  • Carroll’s lawyer said Trump could still be heard making remarks to his lawyers, including 'it is a witch hunt' and 'it really is a con job.'

  • The judge cracked down after Carroll lawyer Shawn Crowley complained for a second time that Trump could be heard 'loudly saying things that are false' as he sat at the defense table.

  • Trump has already been found by a jury to have sexually abused and defamed Carroll after vehemently denying ever attacking her or knowing her in June 2019.
