    Sen. Blackburn targets birth tourism, 'buying American citizenship' in support of Trump's immigration agenda
    Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., introduced new legislation Tuesday aimed at dismantling the multimillion-dollar birth tourism industry that allows foreign nationals to use Americas immigration system to secure automatic citizenship for their children.The Ban Birth Tourism Act, introduced in the U.S. Senate, would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to declare inadmissible any foreign national seeking a tourist visa for the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States.Those births automatically trigger U.S. citizenship for the child, a long-criticized loophole that opens the door to future family-sponsored migration.SENATE REPUBLICANS INTRODUCE BILL TO REFORM BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, FOLLOWING TRUMPS CONTROVERSIAL ORDERBlackburns bill, which was read twice and referred to committee, includes a provision to protect legitimate medical travelers. If the primary reason for entry is medical treatment rather than citizenship acquisition, those cases would not be blocked."For too long, foreign nationals have been exploiting our nations immigration laws, taking advantage of the system to come to the United States solely to give birth and obtain citizenship for their children," Blackburn said in a press release."The Ban Birth Tourism Act would prevent foreign nationals, including those from adversaries like Communist China and Russia, from buying American citizenship for their children. As President Trump works to end birthright citizenship, we need to get this bill to his desk."The push comes as the Trump administration intensifies its focus on restoring immigration integrity in the presidents second term. During his first term, President Trump repeatedly vowed to end automatic citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants and tourists.CALIFORNIA MAN SENTENCED FOR 'BIRTH TOURISM' SCHEME FOR AFFLUENT CHINESE WOMENIn 2020, the State Department under his administration began denying visas to suspected birth tourists, a move hailed by immigration enforcement advocates.Birth tourism is far from a fringe phenomenon. According to conservative immigration policy analysts, the industry accounts for at least 33,000 births annually to women on temporary visas. These children, upon turning 21, can legally sponsor their parents for green cards, offering a backdoor into the U.S. immigration system.A 2015 report by the Center for Immigration Studies estimated the practice generates millions of dollars for companies that specialize in bringing pregnant foreigners, primarily from Russia and China, to the U.S. These firms often charge tens of thousands of dollars for packages that include visa coaching, hospital stays, and luxury accommodations.In one of the largest federal crackdowns to date, the former Trump administration's Department of Justice in 2019 charged nearly 20 individuals in Southern California for operating extensive birth tourism networks targeting Chinese nationals.Prosecutors accused the businesses of coaching clients to lie to immigration officials about the purpose of their travel, a tactic common among such operations.Blackburns bill would codify into law the inadmissibility of any traveler seeking to exploit this loophole, ensuring that birthright citizenship cannot be used as a ticket to game the system.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe Office of Senator Marsha Blackburn referred Fox News Digital to a Tuesday press release.

    California ends ban on special education funds for children in religious schools
    The state of California agreed in federal court Monday to stop barring children with disabilities who want to attend religious private schools from receiving special education funding.For decades, children with disabilities have been able to access federal funding for free special education and related services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The federal law allows some of this funding to be used in private schools as well, but California lawmakers had, until this week, disqualified religious private schools from access to this program.A group of Orthodox Jewish parents and schools first brought a lawsuit against the California Department of Education in 2023 over this state law, which barred them from receiving IDEA funds to send their kids to Orthodox Jewish schools.The parents argued that their children should be able to receive an education that is in line with their Jewish traditions and beliefs while also providing a quality education that meets their needs.CALIFORNIA PARENTS SUE OVER LAW PREVENTING RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS FROM USING STATE FUNDS FOR SPECIAL ED STUDENTS"Its outrageous that California politicians are using religion as an excuse to deny special education benefits to kids with disabilities," Nicholas Reaves, senior counsel for Becket, a legal group representing the parents, previously told Fox News Digital. "Excluding religious schools from programs which help these children reach their full potential is just plain wrong."In October, a federal appeals court agreed, declaring that California was violating the Constitution by requiring schools to be non-religious for families to apply for these funds.The case returned to district court. On Monday, California and the Los Angeles Unified School District agreed to a court order that permanently prohibits them from enforcing a "nonsectarian" requirement to access the special education funding.Becket hailed the court victory in a press release."California spent decades treating Jewish kids like second-class citizens. Todays settlement ensures that Jewish kids with disabilities can access the resources they need and deservejust like everyone else," Eric Rassbach, vice president and senior counsel at Becket, said in a statement.SUPREME COURT TO HEAR ARGUMENTS ON SCHOOL CHOICE CASE INVOLVING CATHOLIC CHARTER SCHOOLThe California Department of Education did not return a request for comment.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox News' Kendall Tietz contributed to this report.

    Scientists predict underwater volcano eruption 300 miles off Oregon
    An underwater volcano off the Oregon coast could erupt late this year, scientists say.The volcano, known as Axial Seamount, is more than 4,900 feet beneath the Pacific Ocean and 300 miles off the Oregon coast, but it is showing signs it will soon erupt for the first time since 2015.The volcano is formed by a hot spot, an area in the Earths mantle where hot plumes of molten material rise upward into the crust, the University of Washington's College of the Environment said in an April blog post. As the crust moves over the top of the mantle, the hot spot stays put, which results in long chains of volcanoes over time.VIDEO: CHAOS IN BANGKOK AS APARTMENT BUILDING COLLAPSES, SENDING PEOPLE RUNNING"Over two-thirds of the Earths surface was formed by volcanic eruptions at these mid-ocean ridges," said Maya Tolstoy, a marine geophysicist and dean of the university's College of the Environment. "Axial Seamount is a direct result of these fundamental processes that continue to shape our planet today."The eruption doesn't pose a danger, scientists said."Axial Seamount is much too deep and far from shore for people on land to even notice when it erupts. An eruption at Axial Seamount also has nothing to do with seismic activity on land, so Pacific Northwesterners dont need to worry about this event triggering a major earthquake or tsunami," the blog post states.The first sign of an eruption at the volcano will be a sharp increase in the number of earthquakes around it, the post states.VIDEO: WATER CASCADES DOWN SIDE OF BUILDING IN BANGKOK FOLLOWING EARTHQUAKE"The volcano has already surpassed the inflation we observed in 2015, but the earthquake activity is still quite low," said Deborah Kelley, a professor at the UW School of Oceanography and director of the Regional Cabled Array. "Were seeing 200 to 300 earthquakes per day, with some spikes around 1,000 per day due to the tides. If what we learned in 2015 is correct, I would expect to see more than 2,000 per day for a few months before the eruption."The quakes will be caused by magma moving toward the surface, the post states."That period lasts about an hour, and then the magma reaches the surface," said William Wilcock, a professor at the UW School of Oceanography. "Lava flows spread across the caldera, and lava-filled fissures open up to the north or the south, reaching as far as 40 kilometers (about 25 miles)."The seismic activity dies down pretty quickly over the next few days, but the eruption will continue slowly for about a month."

    Soros-backed Philadelphia DA survives primary challenge, but potential GOP wrinkle ahead
    Philadelphia Democrat District Attorney Lawrence Krasner survived a primary challenge from Judge Pat Dugan in what was seen as a truly competitive race this year for top prosecutor in the six-to-one Democrat stronghold.However, if it turns out that Dugan received enough Republican write-in votes in addition to his cache on the Democrat ballot, he will have the opportunity to have a November rematch against Krasner.Republicans, largely out of power in the city since Mayor Bernard Samuel in the 1950s and two at-large city council seats reserved for minority parties, saw Dugans candidacy as an opportunity to oust Krasner whether he won or not on Tuesday.The citys Republican Party funded a website advising voters to write-in Dugan on the Republican line. By law, if Dugan receives 1,000 write-ins, he will be named the Republican general election nominee, unless he declines the opportunity. That would give more city voters a chance to turn out Krasner in the November general election.2024: THE YEAR LAW AND ORDER WAS RESTORED BY VOTERS"This is about making crime in Philadelphia illegal," PhillyGOP Chair Vince Fenerty told the South Philly Review.Dugan had the support of several Democrat ward committees and Philadelphia political stalwarts like state Sen. Tina Tartaglione, plus a slew of union groups like IAFF and the Teamsters.In his pitch to voters, Dugan drafted a "geographic prosecution plan" to crack down on crime in the city."This plan is about more than just fighting crime its about rebuilding communities. [It] will hold criminals accountable, provide second chances when appropriate, and ensure every neighborhood feels the impact of a fair and just system they can trust and believe in again," Dugan said in a statement on his campaign site.PHILADELPHIA DA KRASNER SLAMMED BY MURDER VICTIM'S SISTER: WE'RE FED UPKrasner, seeking a third term, has been lambasted for his progressive criminal justice policies and faced impeachment proceedings from Republicans in the now-Democrat-controlled state House of Representatives.In 2023, a Commonwealth Court judge ruled the GOP-controlled Senate cannot hold a trial because the Houses articles of impeachment didnt meet the benchs standards.One top Republican, 2022 gubernatorial nominee Sen. Doug Mastriano, who notably opposed Krasners impeachment, quipped, "Philadelphia: They want Krasner they like him. Thats a huge mandate."While there was a drop in homicides year over year in 2023, Philadelphia saw a spike from 351 the year he took office in 2018 to 562 in 2021. Krasner also ceased charges for certain offenses like marijuana possession, eliminated cash bail for some offenders and has sought generally more lenient sentences than conservatives want.In the city where then-Mayor James Kenney did a dance on social media to celebrate its inception as a sanctuary city, Krasner followed up by refusing to honor ICE detainer requests, saying that letting the feds tell him who to jail is unconstitutional. Krasners backing from about $1.45 million in political action committee support tied to Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros has also led to criticism.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPLast week, Dugan told PhillyVoice the city is feeling "Krasner fatigue" after eight years."Many people come up to me and tell stories about how upset they are with some of the policies with the DA's office," he said.

    Gabbard slams 'politically motivated' surveillance as effort to 'intimidate' her following criticism of Harris
    Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said her placement on the Transportation Security Administrations (TSA)"Quiet Skies" watchlist was "politically motivated" after revelations about her surveillance under the Biden administration came to light during a Senate hearing.Gabbard told Fox News host Laura Ingraham on Tuesday that she believes she was placed on the list after a July 22 interview with "The Ingraham Angle" where she criticized then-Vice President Kamala Harris leadership capabilities.Gabbards remarks came soon after former PresidentJoe Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee.'LIES AND SMEARS: TULSI GABBARD RAILS AGAINST DEM NARRATIVE SHES TRUMPS AND PUTINS PUPPET"I think they were trying to intimidate me, but also, they were trying to really create this chilling effect, probably knowing that I wouldn't stay silent about it and send a message out to people that if you go and criticize then-Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now going to be the Democratic nominee for president, you too, would face the consequences," the former Democratic congresswoman explained.Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said at aSenate Homeland Security Committee hearing that he received a set of records from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding Gabbards placement on "Quiet Skies" that confirmed federal air marshals surveilled her on domestic flights in 2024.Paul noted that the air marshals reported back information related to the intelligence chiefs appearance and how many electronics she was observed using.The TSA's "Quiet Skies" program was established in 2010 to identify passengers for enhanced screening on some domestic and outbound international flights.TOP TSA OFFICIAL EXPLAINS WHAT TO DO IF YOU DON'T HAVE REAL IDDHS said in anApril 2019 report that individuals are flagged for enhanced screening based on aggregated travel data, intelligence, a trend analysis of the intelligence and suspicious activity.The program has come under scrutiny over a lack of transparency and concerns about civil liberties violations.CNN reported in November that Gabbard was briefly placed on the list before quickly being removed. TSA told the outlet that the program is not a terrorist watchlist."TSAs Quiet Skies program is a risk-based, automated approach to transportation security, to include identifying potential risks and applying enhanced security measures," the federal agency noted. "It leverages USG intelligence information and databases to apply screening measures."TSA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital about the program and when Gabbard was added to the list.Ingraham asked theArmy Reserve veteran whether the program should still exist, to which Gabbard responded, "No.""This Quiet Skies program that the TSA, under the Department of Homeland Security, has tasked to federal air marshals to execute not a single terrorist has been caught. Not a single one, for as long as this program has existed," she said."So, instead, what is continuing to happen, so long as this program continues, is, every single day, 40 or 50 federal air marshals are tasked with surveilling everyday Americans for no purpose."
