Ketanji Brown Jackson's Confirmation Hearings

Tuesday’s hearing will feature the first opportunity for senators to ask Jackson questions, with each senator having 30 minutes to pose questions during the first round. Senators will likely ask Jackson about her judicial philosophy, opinions she has reached during her time on the bench, and her past legal work.

CBP Apprehended 164K Unauthorized Immigrants at the Southern Border in February

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released data last week revealing that apprehensions of people entering the U.S. illegally at the Southern border in February continued at a record-setting pace that has fiscal year 2022 on track to double the all-time record set in fiscal year 2021.

Over the first five months of FY022, CBP has encountered 838,685 people attempting to enter the country illegally. That’s more than double the 397,549 apprehended in the first five months of FY2021. February was the 13th consecutive month with at least 101,000 apprehensions at the Southern border.

Are you concerned about the number of apprehensions at the U.S. Southern border?

Wales Creates Ban on Hitting Children

The Welsh government has outlawed smacking children under the Children (Abolition Of Defense of Reasonable Punishment - Wales) Act of 2020. Children's rights activists applaud this measure, noting it as a historic moment for the country.  

The law calls upon people to contact the police or social services if they see a parent or caretaker hitting children.
