THE FORUM DAILY

In a ruling released Friday, the Supreme Court rejected states'
ability to challenge the federal government's immigration enforcement
guidelines, reports Adam Liptak of The New York Times
<[link removed]>.  

In an 8-1 opinion, the court ruled that the challenging states lacked
standing to sue. The Biden administration's guidelines
<[link removed]>
aim to prioritize security and safety threats. 

"Federal courts have not traditionally entertained that kind of lawsuit;
indeed, the States cite no precedent for a lawsuit like this," Justice
Brett Kavanaugh wrote in the majority opinion. 

In the words of our President and CEO, Jennie Murray, in Fernie
Ortiz's Border Report
<[link removed]>
piece: "Focusing on public safety threats is crucial to our safety and
security, as well as good governance. ... Congress, not the courts,
should be the venue for open, solutions-focused dialogue about the
improvements our immigration and border policies need."

**CHILDREN RESCUED** - Ten migrant children from Honduras were
rescued in Texas after being abandoned by smugglers in scorching
temperatures, writes Brie Stimson of Fox News
<[link removed]>.
The state Department of Public Safety found the children at the Rio
Grande. "With temperatures exceeding 115°, smugglers continue to place
children in dangerous conditions," said Chris Olivarez, the agency's
spokesperson. Tomorrow marks a year since nearly 100 migrants were found
<[link removed]>
abandoned in a trailer in Texas. 

**EVIDENCE** - As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) visited the
Texas-Mexico border Sunday, firmer evidence is emerging that immigrants
are leaving Florida ahead of DeSantis' hardline immigration law taking
effect Saturday. David Guerra and his family left for Maryland at the
end of May, Anagilmara Vilchez of Noticias Telemundo/NBC News
<[link removed]>
reports. And Chantelle Navarro and Adam Poulisse of WFTV.com
<[link removed]> share
the story of a couple that is moving after 25 years in Florida.  

**IN BUSINESS** - Christian Serrano, 32, runs a construction company
with more than $5 million in revenue. He's also a former undocumented
immigrant and was a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient
from 2012 until he received residency last year, Ayesha Hana Shaji
reports in the Dallas Business Journal
<[link removed]>.
Meanwhile, Forbes
<[link removed]>
contributor Matt Symonds shares the stories of former refugees who are
taking advantage of business school opportunities. 

**ROUNDS** - Sen. Mike Rounds (R-South Dakota) wants to find
immigration solutions, and those solutions would benefit the country,
columnist George Will writes in The Washington Post
<[link removed]>.
Competitiveness with China, military recruitment and economic strength
are among the benefits Will cites. 

**HELPING NEW ARRIVALS** - Cleveland is creating a new position to
assist refugees and other immigrants, Gabriel Kramer reports in
Ideastream Public Media
<[link removed]>.
"Immigrants, refugees, newcomers are a key part of Cleveland's story,"
said Austin Davis, the city's senior policy advisor. "This was a city
built by immigrants and the city will continue to be growing because of
immigration." 

Thanks for reading, 

Dan
