 A Mother's Day Nightmare in Princeton, Illinois. A 3-year-old boy was struck by gunfire as police burst into a barricaded room, ending a frightening hostage situation. Multiple agencies responded to the Hummingbird Mobile Home Park in Princeton, Illinois, on Sunday, May 10th at 2:42 a.m. The initial call went out as a domestic disturbance but officers discovered much worse.  42-year-old, Anthony Rodriguez, had barricaded himself in a room armed with a knife. Anthony had taken several people as hostages, including Aurora Almanza and her 3-year-old son.  Multiple agencies were on the scene, including the Bureau County Sheriff's Office, Illinois State Police and  the Princeton Police Department.  Authorities attempted to negotiate but ultimately rushed the room when they heard screaming coming from inside.  Officials have reported that officers fired shots as they entered the room. Anthony Rodriguez was hit and was neutralized.  Sadly, Aurora Almanza's t...

 Trump criticizes US as ‘stupid’ over birthright citizenship after Supreme Court hearing  

   The Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday over whether President Donald Trump’s executive order could overturn the longstanding constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship for anyone born in the United States, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. Trump attended the session in person, marking the first time a sitting president has been present for arguments in such a case, known as Trump v. Barbara.

Trump remained in the courtroom for over an hour to hear Solicitor General D. John Sauer defend the order, leaving shortly after a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union presented arguments against it. Following the session, Trump criticized birthright citizenship in a social media post, calling the U.S. “stupid” for allowing it. If upheld, the order would strip tens of thousands of babies born each month to undocumented immigrants or visitors of automatic U.S. citizenship.

The order, signed on Trump’s first day back in the White House on January 20, 2025, stipulates that children born in the U.S. would not automatically receive citizenship documents if their parents are in the country illegally or without authorization. Sauer argued that automatic citizenship “demeans the priceless and profound gift of American citizenship” and serves as a “powerful pull factor” for illegal immigration, while also fostering birth tourism from foreign nationals seeking U.S. citizenship for their children.

Chief Justice John Roberts questioned the broad application of the order, noting that the examples cited by Sauer—such as children of ambassadors or enemies during wartime—were narrow exceptions and not representative of all children born to undocumented immigrants. Cecilla Wang, representing the ACLU, countered that the 14th Amendment clearly guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the United States, citing the landmark 1898 Wong Kim Ark case, which affirmed birthright citizenship for children born to noncitizen parents.

Trump’s executive order challenges over 150 years of legal interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” Federal courts have previously blocked the order, with district judges ruling it unconstitutional and appellate courts upholding injunctions preventing it from taking effect.
