SUMMARY: President Biden has authorized Ukraine to use long-range U.S. missiles to strike inside Russia, a shift in U.S. policy. This decision follows Russia’s third-largest attack this year, killing at least 10 people. Ukraine’s new missile capabilities are expected to target Russia’s Kers region, where North Korean troops have joined Russian forces. Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasizes these missiles will be a crucial bargaining chip for future negotiations with Russia. The U.S. had previously only allowed missiles for use within Ukrainian-held territory. The policy shift comes as the Trump administration approaches, with both sides awaiting its stance on the conflict.

President Joe Biden authorized the use of the weapons, ATACMS, or Army Tactical Missile System, within the Russian Kursk region, two U.S. officials told ABC News on Sunday. The missiles have a range of about 190 miles. Moscow has issued a warning that US missile authorization may mark new level of involvement in the Ukraine war.

SUMMARY: In response to a new executive order from the Trump Administration aiming to ban Birthright citizenship, North Carolina has initiated a lawsuit. Attorney General Jeff Jackson argues the order violates the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. Trump’s order seeks to restrict this by denying citizenship to children born to undocumented or temporarily visa-holding parents. Jackson insists this reinterpretation lacks constitutional backing. This legal challenge is part of a broader effort to toughen immigration policies, reflecting ongoing political divides, with 18 Democratic states joining the lawsuit to oppose the executive order.

North Carolina is joining the list of states suing the Trump administration over an executive order targeting birthright citizenship. State Attorney General Jeff Jackson sued over President Trump’s executive order that would stop children of undocumented immigrants– and even some legal immigrants–from receiving citizenship just because they are born in the U.S. WRAL State Government Reporter Will Doran explains what this executive order would change and the lawsuit to stop it.

SUMMARY: North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson has joined a lawsuit against President Trump’s executive order regarding birthright citizenship, calling it a violation of the 14th Amendment.

The case, filed in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts, includes eighteen states as plaintiffs against Trump and various agency leaders.
