The Supreme Court heard a case this month centered on PresidentDonald Trump's executive order seeking to end so-called birthright citizenship, in one of the most closely watched and potentially impactful cases heard by the court in recent years.Though the case itself was used largely as a means of challenging lower court powers to issue so-called universal or nationwide injunctions, justices on the high court did inquireabout the merits of the order itself, "Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," which Trump signed on the first day of his second White House term.The order, which was slated to take force Feb. 20, directed all U.S. agencies to stop issuing citizenship documents to children born to illegal immigrants or children born to mothers living in the country on a temporary visa, if the father is not a permanent resident or U.S. citizen.Despite the Supreme Courts focus on universal injunctions in hearing the case, deep and unyielding concerns persist about Trumps attempt to undo more than 100 years of legal precedent.JUDGES V TRUMP: HERE ARE THE KEY COURT BATTLES HALTING THE WHITE HOUSE AGENDAThe ACLU included in its lawsuit the story of one couple from Indonesia but living in New Hampshire whom they said would be affected by the order."They arrived in 2023, applied for asylum, and their application awaits review," ACLU attorneys said of the couple. "The mom-to-be is in her third trimester."Under this executive order, their baby would be considered an undocumented noncitizen and could be denied basic health care and nutrition, putting the newborn at grave risk at such a vulnerable stage of life," they added.And such problems would persist throughout their lives, lawyers for the group noted. These persons would not be able to obtain necessary identification, such as drivers' licenses, and would not be able to vote, hold some jobs or serve on juries.Though Trump had spoken in detail in his first term and on the campaign trail about wanting to end birthright citizenship, his executive order sent shockwaves through the nation. It was met by a wave of lawsuits from Democrat-led states and immigrants rights groups.WHO IS JAMES BOASBERG, THE US JUDGE AT THE CENTER OF TRUMP'S DEPORTATION EFFORTS?One lawsuit, brought by 18 Democratic attorneys general, warned that ending birthright citizenship would strip hundreds of thousands of U.S.-born children of their citizenship as the result of a circumstance completely outside a childs control.Statistics also bear this out. Roughly 150,000 children are born annually in the U.S. to parents of noncitizens. If the order were to take force as Trump envisioned, experts warned the impact would be catastrophic."President Trump's attempt to unilaterally end birthright citizenship is a flagrant violation of our Constitution," New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, who joined 17 other Democrat-led states in suing to block the order, said earlier this year.TRUMP FACES ANOTHER DEPORTATION SETBACK WITH 4TH CIRCUIT APPEALS COURT"For more than 150 years, our country has followed the same basic rule: Babies who are born in this country are American citizens," Platkin added.More than 22 U.S. states and immigrants' rights groups sued the Trump administration to block the change to birthright citizenship prior to the Supreme Court's decision to take up the case, arguing in court filings that the executive order is both unconstitutional and "unprecedented."To date, no court has sided with the Trump administration in upholding the executive order.

An Iowa man reached a settlement with his former employer this week after he claimed he was fired for wearing t-shirts with Bible verse messages during the company's celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month.Cosby "Corey" Cunningham, a "devout, born-again Christian," filed a religious discrimination lawsuit in federal court last August against Eaton Corp, a global management company, after his firing in August 2023.Cunningham was hired by Eaton in 2019 as a quality assurance manager, where he managed new product development of military and commercial aerospace activities before his termination, according to the lawsuit.His lawsuit says during his employment, Eaton began "increasingly promoting" DEI and LGBTQ support in the workplace.

AI chatbots are stepping into the therapist's chair and not everyone is thrilled about it.In March alone, 16.7 million posts from TikTok users discussed using ChatGPT as a therapist, but mental health professionals are raising red flags over the growing trend that sees artificial intelligence tools being used in their place to treat anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges."ChatGPT singlehandedly has made me a less anxious person when it comes to dating, when it comes to health, when it comes to career," user @christinazozulya shared in a TikTok video posted to her profile last month."Any time I have anxiety, instead of bombarding my parents with texts like I used to or texting a friend or crashing out essentially before doing that, I always voice memo my thoughts into ChatGPT, and it does a really good job at calming me down and providing me with that immediate relief that unfortunately isn't as accessible to everyone."PARENTS TRUST AI FOR MEDICAL ADVICE MORE THAN DOCTORS, RESEARCHERS FINDOthers are using the platform as a "crutch" as well, including user @karly.bailey, who said she uses the platform "all the time" for "free therapy" as someone who works for a startup company and doesn't have health insurance."I will just tell it what's going on and how I'm feeling and literally all the details as if I were yapping to a girlfriend, and it'll give me the best advice," she shared."It also gives you journaling prompts or EFT (emotional freedom tapping) it'll give you whatever you want."These users are far from alone. A study from Tebra, an operating system for independent healthcare providers, found that "1 in 4 Americans are more likely to talk to an AI chatbot instead of attending therapy."In the U.K., some young adults are opting for the perceived benefits of a handy AI mental health consultant over long National Health Service (NHS) wait times and to avoid paying for private counseling, which can cost around 400 (approximately $540).According to The Times, data from Rethink Mental Illness found that over 16,500 people in the U.K. were still waiting for mental health services after 18 months, indicating that cost burdens, wait times and other hurdles that come with seeking healthcare can exacerbate the urge to use a more cost-effective, convenient method.IM A TECH EXPERT: 10 AI PROMPTS YOULL USE ALL THE TIMEBut, while critics say these virtual bots may be accessible and convenient, they also lack human empathy, and could put some who are in crisis mode at risk of never receiving the tailored approach they need."I've actually spoken to ChatGPT, and I've tested out a couple of prompts to see how responsive they are, and ChatGPT tends to get the information from Google, synthesize it, and [it] could take on the role of a therapist," Dr. Kojo Sarfo, a social media personality and mental health expert, told Fox News Digital.Some GPTs, such as the Therapist GPT, are specifically tailored to provide "comfort, advice and therapeutic support."While perhaps more cost-effective than traditional therapy at $20 per month for ChatGPT Plus, which allows user benefits like unlimited access, faster response times and more, the platform fails to extend as far as professionals who can make diagnoses, prescribe medications, monitor progress or mitigate severe problems."It can feel therapeutic and give support to people, but I don't think it's a substitute for an actual therapist who is able to help you navigate through more complex mental health issues," Sarfo added.WOMAN SAYS CHATGPT SAVED HER LIFE BY HELPING DETECT CANCER, WHICH DOCTORS MISSEDHe said the danger lies in those who conflate the advice from a tool like ChatGPT with legitimate advice from a licensed professional who has years of expertise in handling mental health issues and has learned how to tailor their approach to diverse situations."I worry specifically about people who may need psychotropic medications, that they use artificial intelligence to help them feel better, and they use it as a therapy. But sometimes... Therapy and medications are indicated. So there's no way to get the right treatment medication-wise without going to an actual professional. So that's one thing that can't be outsourced to artificial intelligence."However, some aspects of the chatbot could be beneficial to those needing support, particularly those who are looking for ways to chat with their doctor about conditions they believe they may have such as ADHD to empower them with knowledge they can carry to their appointment."[You can] list out a couple of prompts that are assertive, and you can state those prompts to your provider and articulate your symptoms a bit better, so I think that's a helpful role that artificial intelligence can play, but in terms of actual therapy or actual medical advice, if people start to rely on it, it's a bad thing. It starts to go into murky waters," Sarfo said.Earlier this year, Christine Yu Moutier, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, warned against using the technology for mental health advice, telling Fox News Digital there are "critical gaps" in research regarding the intended and unintended impacts of AI on suicide risk, mental health and larger human behavior."The problem with these AI chatbots is that they were not designed with expertise on suicide risk and prevention baked into the algorithms. Additionally, there is no helpline available on the platform for users who may be at risk of a mental health condition or suicide, no training on how to use the tool if you are at risk, nor industry standards to regulate these technologies," she said.Dr. Moutier also explained that, since chatbots may fail to decipher metaphorical from literal language, they may be unable to adequately determine whether someone is at risk of self-harm.Fox News' Nikolas Lanum contributed to this report.

In Dec. 1917, 19 sailors serving on a World War I-era U.S. submarine made the ultimate sacrifice during a training mission.Perhaps fittingly, scientists have captured never-before-seen photos of its watery resting place off the California coast just ahead of Memorial Day.The U.S. Navy submarine, USSF-1, went down after a collision with its sister ship on Dec. 17, 1917, and now sits 1,300 feet below the surface on the ocean floor off San Diego.MYSTERIOUS 18TH-CENTURY WARSHIP UNEARTHED AT GROUND ZERO SITE GETS NEW HOME"It was an incredibly exciting and humbling experience to visit these historically significant wrecks and to honor the sacrifice of these brave American Sailors," Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Underwater Archaeologist Brad Krueger said in a statement."All of us at the NHHC are grateful for this collaboration, which also enabled us to document and assess the condition of the crafts."The Naval History and Heritage Commands mission is to preserve and present an accurate history of the U.S. Navy.From Feb. 24 to March 4, researchers with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) used its human-occupied submersible Alvin, and an autonomous underwater vehicle known as Sentry belonging to the National Deep Submergence Facility, to capture close-up images of the wreck.AMERICANS SHOULD HONOR MEMORIAL DAY IN THIS WAY, MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS SUGGEST"As a Navy veteran, making this dive together with another Navy veteran and a Navy historian was a solemn privilege," said Office of Naval Research Program Officer Rob Sparrock, who was in the submersibleas it when it surveyed the submarine."Lasting nearly eight hours, there was time to contemplate the risks that all mariners, past and present, face.sIt also reminded me of the importance of these training dives, which leverage the knowledge from past dives, lessons learned and sound engineering."While studying the submarine, the scientists also surveyed a Navy torpedo bomber training aircraftthat went down in the same place in 1950."Advanced ocean technology and simple teamwork played a big part in delivering these new images," said WHOI's Bruce Strickrott, manager of the Alvin Group and the subs senior pilot who helped lead the expedition."Once we identified the wreck and determined it was safe to dive, we were able to capture never-before-seen perspectives of the sub.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"As a U.S. Navy veteran, it was a profound honor to visit the wreck of theF-1with our ONR and NHHC colleagues aboardAlvin."Surveying the submarine involved seven dives that were part of a planned training and engineering mission to give submersible pilots-in-training practical experience.The team held a remembrance ceremony for the lost sailors, ringing a bell 19 times on the research vessel Atlantis directly above where the submarine lies."History and archaeology are all about people and we felt it was important to read their names aloud," Krueger said."The Navy has a solemn responsibility to ensure the legacies of its lost sailors are remembered."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERAdvanced imaging technology helped the team document the wreck, including multibeam sonar systems on the Atlantis and Sentry thatproduced detailed, high-resolution maps of the submarine.That allowed the team to reconstruct the wreck using photogrammetry to make 3-D models."While these depths were well within the dive capability forAlvinandSentry, they were technical dives requiring specialized expertise and equipment," said Anna Michel, NDSF chief scientist and co-lead of the expedition.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"We were careful and methodical in surveying these historical sites so that we could share these stunning images, while also maintaining the reverence these sites deserve."

The Justice Department should pursue the death penalty against Elias Rodriguezfor the first-degree premeditated executions of Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky on May 21stoutside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.This is a sober decision to make, but not a difficult one. Its exactly the kind of case where the death penalty is warranted.Before getting into why the accused richly deserves the ultimate punishment, let me state clearly that Rodriguez is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law beyond a reasonable doubt.SHOOTING AT CAPITAL JEWISH MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS RISING WAVE OF ANTI-JEWISH HATE CRIMESFirst, according to the CriminalComplaint filedagainst the accused, he murdered foreign officials and committed first-degree murder. Criminal complaints are placeholders and are the first step in a process that leads to a formal indictment, which is imminent.No doubt, as additional evidence is gathered, more charges will be added, some may be altered, and the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia (where I used to work as a prosecutor) will seek an indictment of the accused. A grand jury, which meets in secret, only needs to find probable cause to believe that the accused committed the crimes listed in the indictment.That is a forgone conclusion; he will be indicted in the coming days.Second, this isnt a whodunnit. Not only are there eyewitnesses to the crimes, but there is video surveillance. On top of that, once the forensic evidence is tested, the accuseds DNA, fingerprints, and other inculpatory evidence tied to the accused will be developed and available for trial.Any one of those pieces of evidence, both direct and circumstantial, could be sufficient to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.But theres more: the accused told the officers at the scene that he "did it," and blurted out "I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza, I am unarmed."Third, this wasnt a heat of passion or spontaneous act by the accused. Not only did he fly from Chicago to D.C. with a 9mm handgun (in his checked luggage), he purchased a ticket to the Museum event three hours before it started, walked behind the two victims as they exited, and shot them numerous times. As Sarah tried to crawl away, the accused shot her again. Sarah sat up for a moment. The accused reloaded and fired several shots into her body.Video surveillance captured this horrible scene.Fourth, law enforcement officers recovered 21 expended 9mm cartridges from the scene, a 9mm magazine, and a 9mm handgun with its slide locked, indicating that it had expended all of its ammunition. The handgun was registered to the accused in Illinois, where he purchased the weapon in 2020.The federal death penalty is authorized for several crimes, including first-degree murder. The Trump administration wisely reinstated the use of the federal death penalty for appropriate cases, and Attorney General Pam Bondi issuedrevised guidance with respect to the process by which federal prosecutors may seek the death penalty.Although there are 93 United States Attorneys Offices spread around the country, if any office wants to seek the death penalty, they must request to do so by submitting their justification memo to the Capital Case Section of Main Justice in Washington D.C. The process requires a pre-indictment review, consultation with the victims family, and a thorough review by the Capital Review Committee, composed of seasoned prosecutors.Since the death penalty was reinstated by the Supreme Court in 1976, there have been 1,625 executions, most of which took place at the state level. Today, 27 states have the death penalty. There are only three federal death row prisoners awaiting execution as of today (there were 40, but President Biden commuted the sentences of 37 vicious killers just before leaving office). Fifty-five percent of those executed have been white, 34% have been black, and 8% have been Hispanic.Death penalty trials have two phases: the guilt phase and the sentencing phase. If an accused is found guilty of a death-eligible offense by a jury, then the case proceeds to the sentencing phase.In federal death penalty cases, the government must prove that the aggravating factors outweigh the mitigating factors. Aggravatingfactorsfor homicide include death during the commission of another crime, a previous conviction of a violent felony involving a firearm, previous conviction of other serious offenses, or a heinous, cruel, or depraved manner of committing an offense.Mitigating factors include impaired capacity, duress, no prior criminal record, and others.Given the fact that the accused hunted down and executed two helpless victims, shot them in the back, shot them when they were on the ground, shot Sarah as she tried to crawl away, reloaded, and shot Sarah again, the government will likely proceed on the theory that the accuseds actions were heinous, cruel, and depraved, and argue that those factors far outweigh any mitigating factors.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONIn the 1996 fictional movie "A Time to Kill,"set in the deep south, a 10-year-old African American girl named Tonya was abducted, raped, and beaten by two redneck white men, who, after throwing full beer cans at her and unsuccessfully trying to hang her, threw her off a bridge into a river. Tonya survived. The men were arrested. But before they were tried, Tonyas father, Carl Lee Hailey, shot and killed them in the courthouse, fearing that an all-white southern jury would acquit the monsters. Carl Lee went on trial for their murder, and was represented by Jake Brigance, played by Matthew McConaughey.During his closing argument to the jury, Jake asked the jury to close their eyes as he described the brutal rape of Tonya."This is the story about a little girl walking home from a grocery store one sunny afternoonsuddenly a truck races up, two men jump out and grab her, they drag her into a nearby field, and they tie her up, they rip her clothes from her body, now they climb on, first one then the other, raping her, shattering everything innocent and pure, vicious thrusts, in a fog of drunken breath and sweat. When they are done, after they killed her tiny womb, murdered any chance of her to bear children, to have life beyond her own, they sat and used her for target practice."As he describes the hanging and then how they threw her over the bridge to the creek bottom 30 feet below, he asks the jury, "Can you see her? Her raped, beaten, broken body, soaked in their urine, soaked in their semen, soaked in her blood, left to die. Can you see her? I want you to picture that little girl."After a long pause, he says, "Now imagine shes white."With that in mind, try this thought experiment: imagine Sarah and Yaron were black, and the accused was a white supremacist who shot them coming out of a function at the National Museum of African American History and Culture. After he was apprehended by the police, he said "I did it for the KKK, I did it for the Confederacy."Sarah and Yaron deserve justice. Justice, in this case, is the ultimate punishment.

A study from Tebra, an operating system for independent healthcare providers, found that "1 in 4 Americans are more likely to talk to an AI chatbot instead of attending therapy."In the U.K., some young adults are opting for the perceived benefits of a handy AI mental health consultant over long National Health Service (NHS) wait times and to avoid paying for private counseling, which can cost around 400 (approximately $540).According to The Times, data from Rethink Mental Illness found that over 16,500 people in the U.K. were still waiting for mental health services after 18 months, indicating that cost burdens, wait times and other hurdles that come with seeking healthcare can exacerbate the urge to use a more cost-effective, convenient method.IM A TECH EXPERT: 10 AI PROMPTS YOULL USE ALL THE TIMEBut, while critics say these virtual bots may be accessible and convenient, they also lack human empathy, and could put some who are in crisis mode at risk of never receiving the tailored approach they need."I've actually spoken to ChatGPT, and I've tested out a couple of prompts to see how responsive they are, and ChatGPT tends to get the information from Google, synthesize it, and [it] could take on the role of a therapist," Dr. Kojo Sarfo, a social media personality and mental health expert, told Fox News Digital.Some GPTs, such as the Therapist GPT, are specifically tailored to provide "comfort, advice and therapeutic support."While perhaps more cost-effective than traditional therapy at $20 per month for ChatGPT Plus, which allows user benefits like unlimited access, faster response times and more, the platform fails to extend as far as professionals who can make diagnoses, prescribe medications, monitor progress or mitigate severe problems."It can feel therapeutic and give support to people, but I don't think it's a substitute for an actual therapist who is able to help you navigate through more complex mental health issues," Sarfo added.WOMAN SAYS CHATGPT SAVED HER LIFE BY HELPING DETECT CANCER, WHICH DOCTORS MISSEDHe said the danger lies in those who conflate the advice from a tool like ChatGPT with legitimate advice from a licensed professional who has years of expertise in handling mental health issues and has learned how to tailor their approach to diverse situations."I worry specifically about people who may need psychotropic medications, that they use artificial intelligence to help them feel better, and they use it as a therapy. But sometimes... Therapy and medications are indicated. So there's no way to get the right treatment medication-wise without going to an actual professional. So that's one thing that can't be outsourced to artificial intelligence."However, some aspects of the chatbot could be beneficial to those needing support, particularly those who are looking for ways to chat with their doctor about conditions they believe they may have such as ADHD to empower them with knowledge they can carry to their appointment."[You can] list out a couple of prompts that are assertive, and you can state those prompts to your provider and articulate your symptoms a bit better, so I think that's a helpful role that artificial intelligence can play, but in terms of actual therapy or actual medical advice, if people start to rely on it, it's a bad thing. It starts to go into murky waters," Sarfo said.Earlier this year, Christine Yu Moutier, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, warned against using the technology for mental health advice, telling Fox News Digital there are "critical gaps" in research regarding the intended and unintended impacts of AI on suicide risk, mental health and larger human behavior."The problem with these AI chatbots is that they were not designed with expertise on suicide risk and prevention baked into the algorithms. Additionally, there is no helpline available on the platform for users who may be at risk of a mental health condition or suicide, no training on how to use the tool if you are at risk, nor industry standards to regulate these technologies," she said.Dr. Moutier also explained that, since chatbots may fail to decipher metaphorical from literal language, they may be unable to adequately determine whether someone is at risk of self-harm.Fox News' Nikolas Lanum contributed to this report.

In Dec. 1917, 19 sailors serving on a World War I-era U.S. submarine made the ultimate sacrifice during a training mission.Perhaps fittingly, scientists have captured never-before-seen photos of its watery resting place off the California coast just ahead of Memorial Day.The U.S. Navy submarine, USSF-1, went down after a collision with its sister ship on Dec. 17, 1917, and now sits 1,300 feet below the surface on the ocean floor off San Diego.MYSTERIOUS 18TH-CENTURY WARSHIP UNEARTHED AT GROUND ZERO SITE GETS NEW HOME"It was an incredibly exciting and humbling experience to visit these historically significant wrecks and to honor the sacrifice of these brave American Sailors," Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) Underwater Archaeologist Brad Krueger said in a statement."All of us at the NHHC are grateful for this collaboration, which also enabled us to document and assess the condition of the crafts."The Naval History and Heritage Commands mission is to preserve and present an accurate history of the U.S. Navy.From Feb. 24 to March 4, researchers with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) used its human-occupied submersible Alvin, and an autonomous underwater vehicle known as Sentry belonging to the National Deep Submergence Facility, to capture close-up images of the wreck.AMERICANS SHOULD HONOR MEMORIAL DAY IN THIS WAY, MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS SUGGEST"As a Navy veteran, making this dive together with another Navy veteran and a Navy historian was a solemn privilege," said Office of Naval Research Program Officer Rob Sparrock, who was in the submersibleas it when it surveyed the submarine."Lasting nearly eight hours, there was time to contemplate the risks that all mariners, past and present, face.sIt also reminded me of the importance of these training dives, which leverage the knowledge from past dives, lessons learned and sound engineering."While studying the submarine, the scientists also surveyed a Navy torpedo bomber training aircraftthat went down in the same place in 1950."Advanced ocean technology and simple teamwork played a big part in delivering these new images," said WHOI's Bruce Strickrott, manager of the Alvin Group and the subs senior pilot who helped lead the expedition."Once we identified the wreck and determined it was safe to dive, we were able to capture never-before-seen perspectives of the sub.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"As a U.S. Navy veteran, it was a profound honor to visit the wreck of theF-1with our ONR and NHHC colleagues aboardAlvin."Surveying the submarine involved seven dives that were part of a planned training and engineering mission to give submersible pilots-in-training practical experience.The team held a remembrance ceremony for the lost sailors, ringing a bell 19 times on the research vessel Atlantis directly above where the submarine lies."History and archaeology are all about people and we felt it was important to read their names aloud," Krueger said."The Navy has a solemn responsibility to ensure the legacies of its lost sailors are remembered."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERAdvanced imaging technology helped the team document the wreck, including multibeam sonar systems on the Atlantis and Sentry thatproduced detailed, high-resolution maps of the submarine.That allowed the team to reconstruct the wreck using photogrammetry to make 3-D models."While these depths were well within the dive capability forAlvinandSentry, they were technical dives requiring specialized expertise and equipment," said Anna Michel, NDSF chief scientist and co-lead of the expedition.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"We were careful and methodical in surveying these historical sites so that we could share these stunning images, while also maintaining the reverence these sites deserve."
