Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) President Stacy Davis Gates said that children belong to them while delivering a speech at the City Club of Chicago."Baldwin says the children are always ours. Every single one of them, all over the globe. And what comes next is 'CTU thinks your children are its children.' Yes, we do. We do. We do," Davis Gates said on Monday.Davis Gates cited James Baldwin, a prominent writer and civil rights activist.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION INVESTIGATES SCHOOL DISTRICT NEAR CHICAGO AMID REPORTS OF 'ANTIRACIST TRAINING'Davis Gates went on to say, "'CTU thinks all children belong to it. And theyre a socialist conspiracy ideology.' Well, I don't know about all that, but we like children. We educate them, we nurture them, we protect them, we support them, we negotiate for them, we create space for them. We even have them in our homes."Davis Gates was invited to deliver an address at the City Club of Chicago, a public forum where prominent government officials and influential figures speak. Since it was founded in 1903, the forum has hosted speakers from both sides of the political aisle, including President Donald Trump, former President Barack Obama, and former Vice President Mike Pence.The Chicago Teachers Union did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Culture Project and school choice advocate, told Fox News Digital that Chicago's public school system is performing poorly."The irony is glaring: if the CTU were a parent, it would lose custody for educational neglect and abuse, given the catastrophic failure of Chicagos public schools," DeAngelis said.NJ MOM CALLS OUT DEMOCRATS FOR 'INFURIATING' FOCUS ON TRUMP, DETENTION CENTERS AS STUDENTS FALL BEHINDDavis Gates previously made headlines for making controversial claims criticizing school choice policies and conservatives.Last year, she told a news radio host that conservatives do not want Black children to read, adding that it is "part of the oath they take to be right wing."During contract negotiations with Chicago Public Schools, the Chicago Teachers Union reportedly called for over $50 billion to pay for wage hikes along with several other demands. To put the figure into context, the total base tax receipts for the state of Illinois last year were $50.7 billion.Davis Gates' remarks and CTU contract demands came amid Chicago's enrollment crisis. The Windy City currently faces enrollment struggles with a high price tag for the small number of students attending class.A report authored by ChalkBeat and ProPublica found that 47 schools are operating "at less than one-third capacity, leading to high costs and limited course offerings."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREChicago Public Schools had roughly 325,000 students enrolled this year after losing 70,000 students from a decade ago, according to the report.While the city faces enrollment struggles, the city spends about $18,700 per student. Some schools are "double or triple" that number, the report stated. Frederick Douglass Academy High School, which enrolled 28 students, costs $93,000 per student, the report also showed.The Chicago Teachers Union did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Some Democrats are reigniting their calls to impeach President Donald Trump following a series of strategic airstrikes inside Iran over the weekend.Among those leading the latest impeachment push is New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has called the military measure "unconstitutional" and "illegal."However, top Republicans are defending Trumps decision to use force in Iran, accusing Democrats of playing politics on a critical issue regarding global safety."Those that even talk about impeachment, in history, they'll be laughed at," said former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on "Americas Newsroom" Tuesday. He criticized the push as partisan and labeled critics of the airstrikes "hypocrites."Ocasio-Cortez took to social media on Saturday night, in part writing on X: "He [Trump] has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment."HAKEEM JEFFRIES DEMANDS TRUMP 'JUSTIFY' STRIKING IRAN, BUT SIDE-STEPS IMPEACHMENT QUESTIONThe congresswoman also told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday, "The President of the United States admitting that he unilaterally brought the United States into a war without congressional approval is a very grave public admission. It is illegal. It is unconstitutional."Many Democrats are arguing the White House needed congressional approval before launching such a major military action. They claim the strikes were a declaration of war, something the Trump administration has denied.McCarthy has dismissed Ocasio-Cortezs argument entirely, suggesting she and other members of her party are opposing the strike simply because it came from Trump.FORMER DEM ADVISOR BLASTS 'UNHINGED CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT' AFTER TRUMP'S IRAN ATTACK AS 'TRULY TDS'"They just get a Trump syndrome," McCarthy said. "What President Trump is able to accomplish has reset the world stage, had made the world actually safer."The United States launched airstrikes Saturday targeting Irans nuclear infrastructure and key military facilities. The move followed months of failed negotiations with Tehran over its uranium enrichment program.AOC, OTHER ANGRY DEMOCRATS, CALL FOR TRUMP IMPEACHMENT OVER ATTACK ON IRANMcCarthy and others say there is historical precedent for presidential action without Congress, pointing to similar decisions made by former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden."Every president before him has looked to make sure that Iran does not get a nuclear weapon," McCarthy said. "He just carried that out."But not all Democrats are embracing the push for impeachment. Sen. John Fetterman said Monday on "Americas Newsroom" that impeachment proceedings would be ineffective and unhelpful.DEMOCRATIC SEN. FETTERMAN SHUTS DOWN AOC'S CALL FOR TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT AFTER IRAN STRIKES"She [Ocasio-Cortez] knows it, I know it, we all know it. That's not going anywhere," he said, referring to the impeachment calls. "If you throw that term around, that actually diminishes the severity of what impeachment is really reserved for."It is unclear whether Ocasio-Cortez's renewed calls for impeachment will gain traction among Democrats as some in her party have broken ranks to praise Trump's decisive action in the Middle East.The president was impeached twice during his first term, but its unlikely a new impeachment proceeding would pass given Republicans' majority in the House.JONATHAN TURLEY: DEMS SUDDENLY OUTRAGED OVER PRESIDENTIAL WAR POWERSMcCarthy argued that rather than focus on another impeachment attempt, Democrats should be in favor of removing global threats.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"Democrats are on the wrong side of history," he said. "They should build together, make America stronger, and the world a better, safer place."

This is cobbled together from a variety of sources, with a timeline of how the Senate will try to pass President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" this weekend, and the House will try to align next week.Fox is told the Senate will likely not move to take a procedural vote to formally get on the bill until Friday. That will require 20 hours of debate/clock time run in the Senate once they get onto the bill. The procedural vote only needs a simple majority.The 20 hours of debate/clock time is split. Democrats will probably burn all 10 of their hours. Republicans will use a few. So, the Senate probably begins its "vote-a-rama" on the bill late Friday night or into the wee hours of Saturday morning.REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: WHO REALLY DECIDES WHEN AMERICA GOES TO WAR? THE ANSWER ISN'T SO CLEARA "vote-a-rama" is where the Senate takes hours and hours of consecutive roll call votes on the package.Its likely the Senate starts this lengthy voting sequence late Friday, early Saturday morning (meaning just after midnight) and continues until late Saturday, if not the early hours of Sunday morning.It would culminate with passage of the bill in the Senate late Saturday or early Sunday.SENATE GOP AIMS TO APPROVE MAJOR LEGISLATION NEXT WEEK AS TRUMP TOUTS PARTY UNITYNot that it is impossible to figure out when this could happen. But, frankly, a final vote could come at any time of the day or night all weekend long if not early Monday.The most recent vote-a-rama ran just under ten hours. A 2021 vote-a-rama consumed 14 hours and 48 minutes, with the Senate considering a total of 40 amendments.We believe this vote-a-rama might be on the longer end.The question is whether a war powers resolution by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., might delay starting the vote to get onto the "big, beautiful bill." Kaines resolution may not come up until Friday.Heres the other wild card:How fast can the House pivot to pass the bill and align with the Senate?If the Senate OKs the bill on Saturday or Sunday, there is one scenario where the House tries to move very quickly and maybe even wraps it up late Sunday or in the wee hours of Monday morning. They dont want members sitting around without much to do.Also, I should point out that the "72-hour rule" to allow the House to read the bill before voting does not apply. The Senate is sending back to the House an "amendment" to the original House plan. Thus, the "72-hour rule" does not count under these circumstances.However, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., may face political pressure to let members consider the bill for a day or two. That could potentially delay passage in the House until Tuesday or Wednesday.But remember, this all centers around whether things go swimmingly. A host of outstanding issues remain. So, that could push back passage in both bodies.Fox is told that the biggest holdup in the entire process is trying to massage the spending/spending cut numbers.When asked what the single most complicated issue was, Fox was told its SALT, the reduction of state and local taxes for high-tax states.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPFox is told the Senate may try to go to the House level of "40,000" for the deduction, "if nothing else for optics." But the key is if the Senate phases out the income cap to take advantage of that tax break. In other words, the Senate might try to place a ceiling on how much taxpayers can earn before qualifying for the SALT break.But members of the SALT caucus signaled thats not acceptable. They want the straight $40,000 deduction. There is currently a $10,000 deduction in the Senate bill. That is a non-starter for New York and California Republicans who are pushing for the substantial SALT deduction.

EXCLUSIVE: Southern border numbers continue to be significantly lower compared with the previous administration with record low numbers, according to new U.S. Customs and Border Protection data obtained by Fox News.Between June 1 and June 22, there have been 5,414 apprehensions at the border, with the busiest sector being El Paso. During that same timeframe, there have been 986 known "gotaways." Both numbers are the lowest ever recorded.In May, there were just under 9,000 apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the border, compared with roughly 118,000 the year prior under the Biden administration by CBP.SOUTHERN BORDER APPREHENSIONS PLUNGE MORE THAN 90% FROM YEAR AGO IN APRIL, CBP SAYSThe number began to tick down slightly in June of last year with 83,532 migrant encounters, then just roughly 56,000 in July 2024, but the numbers are still much higher than what is being seen under the current administration.The decrease last year was the result of an order signed by former President Joe Biden to regulate crossings into the U.S., even though migrant encounters were extraordinarily high for three years prior.When President Donald Trump took office in January, the first 11 days saw only 9,086 encounters, and then the numbers have been roughly similar or lower since then.'MAIN HOTSPOT' AT NORTHERN BORDER RECORDS 95% DROP IN ILLEGAL MIGRANT APPREHENSIONS IN MARCH: WHITE HOUSEIn 2023, there were points when roughly 10,000 migrants were crossing into the U.S. illegally daily, as many people were able to apply for asylum through the CBP One app.Gotaway numbers are now averaging 46 per day, compared to the average of 1,833 per day at one point under Biden in 2023.CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGEThe CBP One app was quickly turned into the CBP Home app by the Trump administration, and it is now used for "non-criminal" individuals who seek to self-deport.

On the messaging front, DHS and ICE have primarily touted the arrests of people with criminal charges and convictions.In terms of long-term efforts, the administration is touting the border and immigration provisions in the reconciliation bill in the Senate, including hiring more federal authorities and funding for more beds in detention centers.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said his agency does not know where nearly 900 pounds of potentially enriched uranium is located, after Iranian officials said it was being removed for protective measures ahead of strikes on nuclear facilities in Iran.Grossi was a guest on Fox News "The Story with Martha MacCallum," on Tuesday, when he was asked about the whereabouts of the enriched uranium in Iran, as well as other topics concerning the U.S. strikes on Irans nuclear facilities on Saturday.The U.S. military on Saturday carried out massive precision strikes on three key nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.Grossi said Natanz was the first to be hit and sustained "very serious damage" in one of the centrifuge halls where enrichment was being carried out. Isfahan also sustained damage, he added, though nobody has been inside the halls to assess the damage.UN NUCLEAR CHIEF SAYS IRAN HAS MATERIAL TO BUILD BOMBS, BUT NO PLAN TO DO SOMacCallum asked Grossi about a statement in which he previously said he believed 900 pounds of potentially enriched uranium was taken to an ancient site near Isfahan."I have to be very precise, MarthaWe are the IAEA, so we are not speculating here," Grossi said. "We do not have information of the whereabouts of this material."He told the host Iran officials told him they were taking protective measures which may or may not include moving around the material.IAEA CHIEF CALLS ISRAELI PRESIDENT, REPORTEDLY SAYS IRAN NUCLEAR FACILITY WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED"So, it is quite obvious you are asking me about it, that there is a question there: Where is this?" Grossi said. "So, the way to asserting that is to allow the inspection activity to resume as soon as possible. And I think this would be for the benefit of all."The director would not argue with a statement from Vice President JD Vance in which he said if Iran has 60% enriched uranium, but not the ability to enrich it to 90%, they do not have the ability to convert the uranium into a nuclear weapon."I wouldnt argue with that because 60% is not 90%," Grossi said, but more important is figuring out if the uranium was moved and where it is located. "My obligation is to account for every gram of uranium that exists in Iran and in any other country," he said, adding that the investigation is not a discriminant approach against Iran.UN'S NUCLEAR WATCHDOG WARNS ITS UNABLE TO CONFIRM IRAN'S PROGRAM IS 'ENTIRELY PEACEFUL'Vance said in his statement that the mission was a success if Iran cannot convert the uranium to 90% for a nuclear weapon, and Grossi agreed with that statement, at least in terms of a military approach.But Grossis job is different."My job is to try to see where is this material, because Iran has an obligation to report and account for all the material that they have, and this is going to continue to be my work," Grossi said.

FIRST ON FOX: New legislation aims to codify the presidents authority to deploy National Guard units for immigration enforcement, as part of a broader effort to crack down on illegal immigration and stiffen penalties for those who assault immigration officers.The bill, authored by Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., would allow the president to federalize and deploy the National Guard when states refuse to cooperate, like Gov. Gavin Newsom in California. It also stipulates that those who assault immigration officers receive the death penalty or life in prison if an officer is killed.Under current law, the Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the use of federal military forces for domestic law enforcement purposes. However, the GUARD Act proposes a narrowly tailored exception permitting the National Guard while under Title 10 or 32 federal orders to be used "exclusively" for enforcing federal immigration law. That includes apprehending and detaining individuals in the U.S. unlawfully, as well as executing removal orders and conducting border security operations.The proposal comes amid growing Republican frustration with so-called "sanctuary" jurisdictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement agencies and after an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid in Los Angeles led to widespread rioting.NATIONAL GUARD AUTHORIZED TO DETAIN ICE ATTACKERS, DHS SAYSTrump sent in the National Guard to respond to anti-ICE protests, and later deployed U.S. Marines.California sued over the deployment, but so far the courts have allowed Trump to keep control of the Guard."The GUARD Act makes one thing clear: When state and local leaders refuse to enforce federal immigration law, the President has the authority and the responsibility to act," said Harrigan.NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS DETAIN ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS IN LOS ANGELES UNDER TRUMP'S ORDERS"Sanctuary policies have turned entire cities into safe havens for violent criminals, and now some governors are actively blocking National Guard deployments that protect American communities. What unfolded in Los Angeles isnt isolated. Its exactly why this bill is needed. Public safety cannot depend on whether a governor feels like obeying federal law."In addition to capital punishment for killing an immigration officer, the bill mandates a minimum of five years in prison and 10 years if the assault causes bodily injury.The proposed penalties mirror similar statutes that protect federal law enforcement officers but extend explicit coverage to immigration enforcement personnel.

EXCLUSIVE: President Donald Trumps legal defense in a major lawsuit from Harvard got a major boost from a slew of state prosecutors who formally joined his side on Monday.Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird led 15 other attorneys general in filing an amicus brief in support of Trump after the Massachusetts institution sued the administration to prevent billions in federal funding from being stripped from its coffers over its lax response to antisemitism on campus.Bird argues theres precedent for Trumps actions, pointing to another popular Republican president who, in the 1980s, challenged a South Carolina college over its ban on interracial relationships.The Trump-Harvard case, Bird said, "is not the first time the federal government has [altered] funding because a university wasn't following anti-discrimination laws."HARVARD UPDATES LAWSUIT AFTER TRUMP CANCELS ADDITIONAL $450M IN FUNDING"Thats exactly what's happening here with Harvard; they're not following anti-discrimination laws, and they're not stopping antisemitism on campus or protecting Jewish students and Israeli students, and so, because of that, there's a big parallel."Bird noted that Harvard has the nations largest endowment at around $50 billion, in addition to billions more in government grants that are conditional."One of those conditions for that type of funding is that they're going to follow anti-discrimination-wise," she said, adding that Iowa is relevant and now involved in the case because Iowans taxes fund those federal grants, and that if Harvard is allowed to let antisemitism run rampant, other colleges farther west may be able to do so to.LEGAL EXPERT BACKS TRUMP ADMIN'S CRACKDOWN ON HARVARD: 'ACCOUNTABILITY MUST BE ENFORCED'While Harvard has shown some improvement since Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., grilled its president and the University of Pennsylvania's then-president last year, a clear message must still be sent that their conduct was unacceptable, Bird said."President Trump has shown that he is leading and he is making sure that our college campuses that are funded with taxpayer dollars will not engage in discrimination against Jewish students or against people from Israel. And so I think he has taken a strong step here. And I think the law is on his side."Like the Harvard case, Bob Jones an Evangelical college in Greenville, South Carolina saw its tax-exempt status stripped, which similarly affected its bottom line.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe original IRS policy change banning discrimination went into effect under former President Richard Nixon, but it wasnt until 1983 that the government then run by former President Ronald Reagan won a similar lawsuit.The Supreme Court ruled there that the public interest in preventing discrimination trumped any related invocation of religious freedom.Following the Bob Jones case, then-college president Bob Jones III went on national television in 2000 to declare the university was wrong in its prior race-based policies and officially lifted the ban on interracial dating.On its website, the college explained, "Our sincere desire is to exhibit a truly Christ-like spirit and biblical position in these areas. Today, Bob Jones University enrolls students from all 50 states and nearly 50 countries, representing various ethnicities and cultures."
