The US Supreme Court on Friday agreed to take up President Trump’s Executive Order suspending asylum at the southern border.

In January 2025, President Trump declared an “invasion” at the southern border after Joe Biden allowed more than 20 million illegal aliens to enter the US.

“Over the last 4 years, the prior administration invited, administered, and oversaw an unprecedented flood of illegal immigration into the United States. Millions of illegal aliens crossed our borders or were permitted to fly directly into the United States on commercial flights and allowed to settle in American communities, in violation of longstanding Federal laws,” the president wrote in a proclamation.

“Many of these aliens unlawfully within the United States present significant threats to national security and public safety, committing vile and heinous acts against innocent Americans,” the president said.

“Others are engaged in hostile activities, including espionage, economic espionage, and preparations for terror-related activities. Many have abused the generosity of the American people, and their presence in the United States has cost taxpayers billions of dollars at the Federal, State, and local levels,” Trump said.

DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer told the Supreme Court that the president has the authority to bar aliens from entry to the US.

NBC News reported:

Taking up another key aspect of President Donald Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda, the Supreme Court on Friday agreed to decide whether the administration has the authority to ban asylum claims at the southern border.

Although a federal judge ruled that the policy Trump enacted on the first day of his second term was unlawful, it has remained in effect while litigation continues.

The Supreme Court’s ruling, due before the end of June, will be the final word on the Trump administration’s sweeping assertion of presidential power over people trying to make asylum claims at the border, notwithstanding federal law enacted by Congress that lays out a procedure to do so.

The asylum dispute is the third significant case on Trump’s immigration policies that the court is considering, while the justices could take up other Trump-related cases in the coming months.

The ban stems from a proclamation the president issued Jan. 20, 2025, that declared an “invasion” on the southern border.

Get woke, go broke.

Cosmetics giant Maybelline is at it again and waging a new war on women.

After decades of selling products to women (and happily taking their money), Maybelline is now erasing women from its iconic tagline.

For more than three decades, Maybelline used its iconic tagline in all of its advertising campaigns: “Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s Maybelline.”

The cosmetics giant changed its tagline from “she” to “we” — “Maybe we’re born with it” – to exclude women.

“At Maybelline, “Maybe” means possibility. We believe everyone is born with infinite possibility. It’s not a question about what you could be; it’s a statement about all you can become. A new shade, a different look, a new mood, makeup can help you explore what feels possible, express yourself and feel more confident,” the company said on its website.

“Maybe. Is in our DNA,” Maybelline said.

After 35 years, Maybelline is giving one of beauty’s most recognizable slogans a makeover.

The brand is moving away from its famous “Maybe she’s born with it. Maybe it’s Maybelline” tagline, shifting from “she” to “we” with a new message about identity and possibility.

“MAYBE. IS IN OUR DNA,” the company says, adding that everyone is born with the potential to become anyone they choose.

Maybelline received intense backlash from women.

“Trying to erase women is a sure way to erase your brand,” one social media user said.

“Well then maybe “WE” won’t be buying any of their products,” another said.

“Maybe “It’s” Born With It. Maybe women should boycott the brand,” a social media user said.

“Get woke, go broke,” another said.

Maybelline’s new woke tagline comes after it ran a ‘bearded beauty’ campaign in which the cosmetics giant featured a bearded man using their products.

“Democrats Will Help Us”: Caravans March North as Dems Vow to Reopen the Border. President Trump Won’t Let It Happen.

The following is from the Trump team.

Days after the midterms, caravans of illegal aliens are already marching north to the U.S. — and they’re counting on Democrats to let them in. Why wouldn’t they? Congressional Democrats are vowing to abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, stop deportations, and hand out amnesty while border-state Democrats cut off cooperation on immigration enforcement. It’s the same open borders agenda that unleashed the worst border crisis in American history, but President Donald J. Trump isn’t letting Democrats bring it back.

The caravan, in its own words:

• “There might be a light at the end of the tunnel, a way for us to get in… We believe the Democrats will help us,” said a Nicaraguan migrant who had already been deported once from the United States.
• “We know that the Democrats are not going to let a point as big as the Latino vote be lost and I think they are going to give us the opportunity to reach to our new homes,” said a migrant traveling with the caravan.
• “We hear that […] now that Congress has changed, the border has to be open. We have faith in God that [Democrats] will help us,” said a migrant heading for the border.
• “From what we’ve seen in the news, yes, that is [Democrats’] intention,” said a Guatemalan migrant traveling north.

Since the election, Democrats have reinforced those expectations:

• Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (11/9/26): “ICE is way out of control. We need to put an end to Donald Trump’s violent mass deportation machine.”
• Rep. Ayanna Pressley (11/12/26): “With our new Democratic majority, we must defend our immigrant neighbors… abolish ICE, and extend TPS.”
• Rep. Rashida Tlaib (11/10/26): “Abolish ICE now.”
• Rep.-elect Claire Valdez (11/8/26): “We have the mandate to… abolish ICE.”
• Rep. Delia Ramirez (11/8/26): “Together, we will dismantle DHS and abolish ICE.”
• Rep. Pramila Jayapal (11/8/26): “Reining in ICE and getting ICE off of our streets is another massive priority…”
• Rep. Ayanna Pressley (11/8/26): “Democrats have a mandate to abolish ICE, shut down detention centers…”
• Rep. Juan Vargas (11/8/26): “We need the people that are being deported.”
• Sen. Alex Padilla (11/4/26): “Americans have spoken. We’re sick of ICE and DHS’ lawlessness and cruelty. It’s time to rein them in…”

Border-state Democrats are already tearing down enforcement:

• Texas Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa (11/6/26): Strict border enforcement “was a dog-and-pony show. It was political theater and nonsense.”
• Texas Lt. Gov.-elect Vikki Goodwin (11/9/26): “We need to make sure law enforcement is not aiding and abetting ICE here in Texas.”
• Houston Mayor John Whitmire (11/9/26): “We will change our policy regarding contact with ICE… Elections matter.”
• San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones (11/6/26): “Elections matter.”
• Austin Mayor Kirk Watson (11/6/26): “I’ve said Austin ‘cannot and will not play into or perpetuate a policy of fear’ when it comes to immigration… With the change in state leadership, I anticipate being able to better partner with the state on issues… including those related to civil immigration enforcement.”

President Trump shut the border down — and it’s staying shut:

• President Donald J. Trump (11/12/26): “Here we go again! With the perceived loss by the Republicans in the Midterms – I WAS NOT ON THE BALLOT- the INVASION of our Country is taking place again. Huge CARAVANS are forming and beginning their illegal march through Mexico… But they will not be accepted! MEXICO MUST STOP THEM, NOW, and if they do not do so, the Tariffs on Mexico will be IMMEDIATELY DOUBLED… There will be no leniency!”
• White House Border Czar Tom Homan (11/11/26): “Congress may be more blue, Texas may be more blue, but the White House is red, bright red… These caravans [can] come to the border all they want. They’re not going to be released into the United States… We’re not giving one inch on this border.”
• DHS General Counsel James Percival (11/12/26): “If they do reach the southern border, they’re going to find a Border Patrol that is extremely ready. The President is still the President. The midterms don’t change that — and we are very prepared to deal with this.”
