The US Supreme Court ruled that Hawaii’s law banning guns in many public places and on private property without owner permission violates the Second Amendment. This decision follows a 2022 ruling that requires gun laws to align with historical firearm regulations.
Key Facts
Hawaii’s 2023 law banned carrying guns on private property without the owner’s consent and in designated “sensitive places” like beaches and bars.
Three Maui residents and the Hawaii Firearms Coalition challenged the law, citing Second Amendment rights.
The Supreme Court used a 2022 decision (Bruen v. New York) that says gun laws must match the nation’s historical rules on firearms.
The plaintiffs said Hawaii’s list of sensitive places was too broad, covering nearly all public gathering spots.
Recent cases show the court sometimes upholds gun restrictions, like a federal law barring gun ownership by people with domestic violence restraining orders.
Another recent ruling removed the ban on bump stocks, gun accessories that enable rapid fire, originally banned after the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.
The bump stock ruling focused on whether a federal agency went beyond its authority, not directly on the Second Amendment issue.

The Supreme Court decided in a 6-3 vote that the U.S. government can legally stop asylum seekers from entering at border ports before they reach U.S. soil. This ruling supports a previous immigration policy that the Trump administration used and may want to bring back.
Key Facts
The Supreme Court made the decision on Thursday with a 6-3 vote.
The ruling allows the government to turn away asylum seekers before they reach official U.S. border entry points.
The policy in question is called “metering,” which limits how many asylum seekers can enter at once.
"Metering" started during President Obama’s administration.
The policy was later ended but could be reinstated under President Trump’s administration.
The vote followed ideological lines, meaning justices voted largely based on their political or legal views.
The decision affects how the U.S. handles people seeking protection from violence or danger in other countries.

House Democrats are trying to force a vote to permanently block a $1.8 billion fund tied to President Donald Trump that was meant to fight political weaponization. They are using a special procedure called a discharge petition to bring the issue to the House floor despite Republican leaders opposing it.
Key Facts
Democrats want to stop the Trump administration's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund permanently.
A discharge petition needs 218 signatures to force a House vote, and eight such petitions have succeeded this session.
The Justice Department canceled the fund recently after backlash from both parties.
Critics, including a federal judge, doubt the fund’s complete end, prompting the new effort.
House Judiciary Committee member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) introduced the NO CARTE BLANCHE Act to block taxpayer money from funding settlements related to Trump’s IRS case.
The bill also seeks to stop legal immunity deals arranged for Trump, his family, and businesses by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
The petition was announced on Thursday and will be active on Friday for members to sign.
Some Republicans may hesitate to join because Trump punishes those who oppose him, as seen in the ousting of Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).
