Noncitizen voting isn't an issue in federal elections, regardless of conspiracy theories. Here's why

apnews.com/article/trump-immigrant-voting-noncitizens-elections-explained-cf4c73b336147b5f5d9c2a22b2564994

Quick Glance: Trump's Favorite Theme: Dishonest 'Noncitizen Voting'

House Speaker Mike Johnson's 'election security' event at Mar-a-Lago will focus on legislation targeting noncitizen voting.

Despite existing bans and rare noncitizen votes, the debate aims to boost Trump's presidential candidacy.

Laws from 1996 prohibit noncitizen voting in federal and state elections, yet some municipalities in some states allow it.

Trump and allies falsely claim noncitizens vote in elections, while data shows minimal incidents. The debate serves as a political maneuver and distracts from actual election issues.

Texas Republicans urge for full Senate impeachment trial: Two Texans are among 11 House impeachment managers initiating a trial of the Homeland Security ...

texastribune.org/2024/04/16/michael-mccaul-august-pfluger-mayorkas-impeachment/

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas

The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.

Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.

Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.

Biden to close ‘gun-show loophole’ and expand background checks for firearms: New rule comes under legislation passed after Uvalde, Texas, shooting.

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.
