Trump to sign executive order forming DOJ-led task force to root out 'anti-Christian bias'

Anti Christian bias task forcePresident Donald Trump said Thursday that he's forming a task force to be led by the Department of Justice to "eradicate anti-Christian bias" within the federal government and prosecute violence against Christians.

Trump said he would be launching a presidential commission on religious liberty and signing an executive order putting Attorney General Pam Bondi over the DOJ initiative, which he said he was creating to confront "weaponization" and "religious persecution" of Christians in the United States.

The mission of the task force will be to "immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination in the federal government," including at the Department of Justice, the FBI, the IRS and other agencies, Trump said in a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast.

Palestinians and Arab sttes reject Trump plan

"We will not allow the rights of our people... to be infringed on," Mahmoud Abbas stressed, warning that Gaza was "an integral part of the State of Palestine" and forced displacement would be a serious violation of international law.

Hamas, whose 15-month war with Israel has caused widespread devastation, said Trump's plan would "put oil on the fire" in the region.

CIA reportedly offers buyouts to entire workforce in latest Trump-era purge

Entire CIA offered buyout

The Central Intelligence Agency offered buyouts to its entire workforce on Tuesday, citing an aim to bring the agency in line with Donald Trump’s priorities, the Wall Street Journal and CNN have reported.

The US spy agency is also freezing the hiring of job applicants already given a conditional offer, the WSJ reported, quoting an aide to CIA director John Ratcliffe.

The aide, not named in the report, said some of those frozen offers were likely to be rescinded if the applicants did not have the right background for the agency’s new goals, which include targeting drug cartels, Trump’s trade war and undermining China.

Google scraps diversity hiring goals and cites Trump’s DEI orders

Google

Alphabet’s Google is scrapping its goal to hire more employees from historically underrepresented groups and is reviewing some of its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

With this, Google joins a slew of US businesses, particularly in Silicon Valley, that have been scaling back their diversity initiatives, years after pushing for more inclusive policies after protests against the police killings of George Floyd and other Black Americans in 2020. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Wall Street Journal first reported the news.

The company issued a statement after the news broke: “We’re committed to creating a workplace where all our employees can succeed and have equal opportunities, and over the last year we’ve been reviewing our programs designed to help us get there. We’ve updated our 10-k language to reflect this, and as a federal contractor, our teams are also evaluating changes required following recent court decisions and executive orders on this topic.”

Judge blocks Sandy Hook families’ settlement over Alex Jones bankruptcy

Alex Jones

A bankruptcy judge has blocked a proposed settlement between the families of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting victims who sued conspiracy theorist Alex Jones over his false remarks about the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school.

On Wednesday, judge Christopher Lopez of the US bankruptcy court for the southern district of Texas said he was unable to approve the proposed settlement between the families and Jones’s bankruptcy trustee. Lopez claimed that their efforts to divide Jones’s assets exceeded his court’s authority.

The decision complicates a proposed sale of Jones’s Infowars platform, and could spur divisions between families who sued Jones and won nearly $1.3bn in Connecticut courts and those who won $50m in Texas courts. The two groups of families had proposed a settlement that would guarantee the Texas families a 25% share of Jones’s future payments to the Sandy Hook families, with the Connecticut families taking 75%.

Speaking in court on Wednesday, Lopez said: “At its core, this is something I can’t approve.”

Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order Gets Put On Hold By Second Federal Judge

Deborah BoanardA federal judge on Wednesday ordered a second temporary pause on President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for anyone born in the U.S. to someone in the country illegally.

U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman said no court in the country has endorsed the Trump administration’s interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

“This court will not be the first,” she said.

Trump’s inauguration week order had already been on temporary hold nationally because of a separate suit brought by four states in Washington state, where a judge called the order “blatantly unconstitutional.” In total, 22 states, as well as other organizations, have sued to try to stop the executive action.
