House Votes to Curb Trump's War Powers Amid Rising Tensions with Iran

The U.S. House of Representatives has voted to restrict President Trump's authority to engage in military actions against Iran without Congressional approval. The resolution, led by Democratic Representative Pramila Jayapal, passed with a vote of 214 to 208, including support from four Republican lawmakers. This vote comes as tensions escalate following the collapse of a recent ceasefire, marking the second attempt by the House to limit Trump's war powers. Although the Senate is expected to vote on a similar measure, these resolutions do not carry the force of law and cannot compel the president to end military actions. The ongoing conflict has seen the return of four U.S. service members' remains, highlighting the human cost of the war.

Una investigación revela que varias tiendas de armas que habían perdido sus licencias durante la administración de Biden han recuperado su capacidad de venta bajo la administración de Trump. Esto se debe a un cambio en la política de la ATF, que ahora permite a los comerciantes solicitar nuevamente sus licencias. Entre 2021 y 2024, al menos 175 armas vinculadas a delitos fueron recuperadas de dos de estas tiendas, lo que ha generado preocupación entre exfuncionarios de la ATF sobre el impacto en la violencia armada. La ATF ha reducido su supervisión y transparencia en la fiscalización de las licencias de armas, lo que podría afectar la seguridad pública en las comunidades.

Trump Revives Secret Deportation Court for Foreign Terrorism Cases
