 AG Moves to Decongest  Anambra Correctional Centres as Controller of Corrections Pays Visit. By Chinelo Okeke The Anambra State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Tobechukwu Nweke SAN, has reiterated his commitment to decongest correctional centres across the state through speedy dispensation of justice. Nweke made this known when the Anambra State Controller of Corrections, Ezinne Emele Onuoha, paid him a courtesy visit in his chambers at the Ministry of Justice, Awka. Speaking during the meeting, the Attorney General said many inmates remained in correctional facilities without trial, while some families were unaware of the whereabouts of their relatives in custody. He directed that a comprehensive inventory of inmates in all correctional centres in the state be compiled, especially awaiting-trial inmates, those granted bail but yet to perfect their bail conditions, those denied bail and remanded, as well as convicted persons serving various jail terms.

 Trump becomes first sitting president to attend Supreme Court oral arguments over birthright citizenship order

President Trump made a historic appearance at the Supreme Court on Wednesday for oral arguments over his executive order aimed at limiting birthright citizenship, marking the first time a sitting president has attended a high court hearing. Legal experts say the visit highlights how central the Supreme Court is to Trump’s second-term agenda, which has seen both major victories and setbacks from the justices.

Trump told reporters he attended because he had “listened to this argument for so long.” He had previously considered attending last year’s Supreme Court hearings on tariffs but ultimately did not; the court struck down his tariffs, prompting Trump to call the justices unpatriotic. His motorcade arrived at the court around 9:50 a.m. ET. The president’s order, signed on his first day back in office, challenges a constitutional right affirmed by the Supreme Court more than 125 years ago.

Trump’s move reflects a long-held belief that children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants should not automatically receive citizenship. He has described birthright citizenship as originally intended only for “the babies of slaves” and claimed it was never meant for immigrants. Courts have consistently ruled since 1898 that the 14th Amendment applies to nearly all children born on U.S. soil.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which is challenging the order, called the case one of the most important of the past century. ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero said the organization is prepared to confront the president in court over the constitutional issues surrounding birthright citizenship.

Trump has previously criticized the Supreme Court for striking down key parts of his policies, such as his tariff program, but the court has also sided with him in other cases, allowing him to resume actions like firing federal workers, mass deportations, and banning transgender people from military service.
