The House of Representatives has approved a White House request to claw back two years of previously approved funding for public media.

The recisions package now moves on to the Senate.

This move poses a serious threat to local stations and public media as we know it.

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jack Spear. In a major win for the Trump administration, the Supreme Court today issued its ruling on a narrow legal aspect of the debate over birthright citizenship.

A divided court ruling individual judges lacked the authority to grant nationwide injunctions.

Mandar Frost studies immigration and citizenship at the University of Virginia and says it will overwhelm the courts.

The system is under enormous stress as it is, and now they look to be flooded with

lawsuits. You know, anyone who's expecting a child over the next year, you know, 30 days from now or

The ruling leaves the actual issue of birthright citizenship granted under the Constitution up in the air.

Trump has issued an order seeking to require at least one parent to be a U.S. citizen for citizenship to be granted to a child.

Today's ruling could affect other pending cases as well.

an hour north of the Twin Cities. I'm trying to teach my kids to look for the helpers and be the helpers and honor them as well.

Halanin says she admired Hortman for championing programs for lower-income families like hers.

The Hortmans and their dog were shot by a gunman in the early hours of June 14th.
