Jesus, he's reviving the Alien & Sedition Acts? Those laws were bitterly opposed even at the time, led to the Kentucky & Virginia Resolution attempts to "nulify" those acts in their states, and helped lead to John Adams being defeated by Thomas Jefferson in his 1800 reelection bid. Jefferson said that the acts were unconstitutional and let them expire as president, and issued pardons for those who had been convicted under them.
And now Dear Leader is bringing them back 225+ years later so he can arrest and deport more people he doesn't like. Swell.

“… A multistate lawsuit had accused the federal government of unlawfully firing tens of thousands of probationary employees and claimed the terminations occurred without transparency, placing excessive strain on state unemployment support systems and causing economic damage.
In response, an order by Judge James Bredar of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland—which expires March 27—requires that 18 federal agencies must offer jobs back to the probationary workers affected since Trump took office. They have until 1 p.m. Monday to rehire their terminated employees, The Washington Post reported.
Earlier on Thursday in California, federal Judge William H. Alsup ruled that laid off probationary hires at the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and the Department of the Treasury must be rehired.
… since the end of January, Musk has lashed out at judges in more than 30 posts on X, calling them “corrupt,” “radical,” and “evil,” after they dealt DOGE legal blows. …”

It will be most interesting to see if the employees get rehired....There are lots of other judges that can weigh in another direction..And SCOtus can kick the can“… A multistate lawsuit had accused the federal government of unlawfully firing tens of thousands of probationary employees and claimed the terminations occurred without transparency, placing excessive strain on state unemployment support systems and causing economic damage.

Trump Administration Lays Out Demands to Columbia to Restore Federal Funding
Government’s requests include banning masks, empowering campus police and limiting protests

—> https://www.wsj.com/us-news/educati...78?st=a6opsa&reflink=mobilewebshare_permalink“… The demands include banning masks that conceal identity, giving the university president rather than faculty disciplinary power over students, and empowering campus law enforcement to be able to arrest “agitators who foster an unsafe or hostile work or study environment.”
… The letter outlining the government’s demands, earlier reported by the Free Press, also asks the school to implement restrictions on protests to prevent disruption of teaching, research and campus life. It requests a plan to reform admissions “to conform with federal law and policy.”
Government negotiators want the school to place the department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies under “academic receivership” for a minimum of five years. Receivership means it would no longer be under the control of the faculty and is considered a sign of mismanagement.
The letter also asks that the school discipline students.
On Thursday, before the letter had been delivered, the university judicial board announced that students involved in the occupation of an administration building last spring had been formally disciplined. The punishments include suspensions and expulsions. …”
