US Supreme Court hears arguments on Trump's order to end birthright citizenship

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump's push to end birthright citizenship is set to be argued at the US Supreme Court, in a case that could help further his agenda on immigration and other issues.The court will hear arguments on Thursday about whether lower court judges can block presidential orders for the entire country.Trump moved to end birthright citizenship within hours of returning to the White House in January, signing an order that said children who are born in the US to undocumented immigrants are not citizens.Three federal judges stopped it from taking effect, part of a pattern of courts blocking Trump's executive orders.

WASHINGTON — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has said Canadians were not "impressed" by the UK government's invitation to US President Donald Trump for a second state visit.The newly elected Carney told Sky News that the UK's invitation earlier this year did not help Canadians, who were facing repeat comments from Trump about making Canada the 51st US state."To be frank, [Canadians] weren't impressed by that gesture... given the circumstance," he said.

Dozens of white South Africans arrive in US under Trump refugee plan

WASHINGTON — A group of 59 white South Africans has arrived in the US, where they are to be granted refugee status.President Donald Trump has said the refugee applications for the country's Afrikaner minority had been expedited as they were victims of "racial discrimination".The South African government said the group were not suffering any such persecution that would merit refugee status.The Trump administration has halted all other refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones.
