The Trump administration is reportedly drafting an executive order that would compel the Justice Department to sue states that enact laws regulating artificial intelligence, a move that could exceed presidential authority. The proposal emerges after disagreements among Senate Republicans over a broader plan to restrict state AI regulation, which ultimately failed due to bipartisan opposition concerned about AI's societal impacts. With public worries about job loss, children's safety, and energy costs rising, the move signals an aggressive attempt to assert federal control over emerging technology issues—challenging the traditional limits of presidential power. Will this executive order face legal obstacles or reshape state-federal dynamics on AI regulation?

#Texas & 15 other #Republican-led states sued the #Biden admin on Friday seeking to halt a new program that could give #legal status to hundreds of thousands of #undocumented #immigrants who are #married to #UScitizens.
Filed just days after the program opened for applications, the lawsuit is the latest in a string of legal actions Texas has led challenging federal #immigration policies & #FederalPower.
President Andrés Manuel #LópezObrador [#AMLO] of #Mexico … has also called on the #UnitedStates to suspend #sanctions against #Venezuela & lift the blockade against #Cuba, saying that such measures would reduce #migration flows from those countries. And he has called proposals to build walls or close the #border as “electoral propaganda.”
…While #Mexico has served as the #UnitedStates’ #immigration enforcer, often discouraging migrants from massing at the #border, the country has also publicly pushed for two key policies to address the root causes that force people out of their home countries — such as #poverty, #violence, #inequality & #ClimateChange — & expand regular pathways for #migration.
