Republican bill would block illegal immigrants from receiving tax breaks | National
SUMMARY: The Safeguarding American Workers’ Benefits Act, reintroduced by Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, aims to prevent illegal immigrants in the U.S. from receiving Child Tax Credits (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC). The legislation mandates that parents and children need valid Social Security numbers for employment to qualify for these tax benefits. Rep. Clay Higgins has introduced a similar bill in the House. The U.S. Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the bill could save nearly $28 billion over ten years. This initiative aligns with Republican efforts to cut federal spending while addressing immigration policies under President Trump.

SUMMARY: Saint Andrew’s Episcopal School is quiet as an influenza outbreak leads to the closure of all grades on Friday. The decision was made to help students recover and minimize community spread. Following advice from school nurses, high schoolers were sent home Thursday, with elementary students following Friday, halting classes until Monday. The Mississippi Department of Health reports that flu cases in the metro area have doubled recently, likely due to post-holiday school attendance. Health officials advise getting flu shots and keeping sick children at home to protect health as case numbers are expected to decrease with warmer weather in March.

SUMMARY: Grove Park in Jackson, a historic youth sports hub, has closed temporarily as the city invests over $1.3 million in renovations. Once the first public recreational space for Black residents during segregation, the park has suffered from vandalism and neglect. Improvements will include restoring the baseball fields, pool, and basketball courts, as well as redesigning the golf course and adding pickleball courts. Local figure Thomas Cheatham highlights the park’s long history and community significance, expressing hope for a brighter future once renovations are complete. The park will be closed for 60-90 days during this restoration process.
