The Supreme Court is poised to play a pivotal role in determining the future of President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration agenda.
Northern towns of Wayne County could see 3-5 inches of snow in the strongest bands. Warning in effect Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 09: A bird lifts off from the top of the U.
S. Supreme Court building on January 09, 2026 in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court issued an opinion in Bowe v. United States, allowing federal prisoners to file more than once in challenging their convictions or sentences, but did not rule on President Donald Trump's tariffs. The Supreme Court is poised to play a pivotal role in determining the future of President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration agenda. Central to the debate is the challenge to birthright citizenship, a principle once considered legally untouchable. President Donald Trump, along with a small number of his Latino supporters, is questioning the automatic citizenship granted to anyone born in the U.S. If the Supreme Court sides with Trump, it could fundamentally alter the rule that grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil.{ } "By that logic, then literally anyone right can become a citizen. You just make sure if you are pregnant, you gave birth," said Gabriela Berrospi, the founder of Latino Wall Street. "I know that said, I'm a citizen and it shouldn't be so easy. You know, it's not easy in other places and this is the best country in the world." If the Supreme Court sides with Trump, it could fundamentally alter the rule that grants citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Additionally, the court is expected to address the use of the Alien Enemies Act, which Trump employed to expedite the deportation of Venezuelans. This move was blocked by the court, setting the stage for a legal showdown. Democrats argue that ending birthright citizenship would violate the Constitution and that using a wartime law for deportations denies due process. They have also criticized ICE operations in American cities, likening them to "modern-day slave patrols." Last year, the Supreme Court ruled that officers cannot stop someone solely based on appearance, but in immigration cases, ethnicity can be considered alongside other factors. The Trump administration continues to blame Democrats for the immigration crisis, asserting that the border is now secure. "The border is totally secure. You know, you forget we had a border that I inherited where millions of people were coming through. Now we have a border where no one is coming through," said a Trump representative.The Supreme Court could begin hearing arguments on birthright citizenship in the spring, with a decision potentially arriving by late June or early July.Third person dies following crash on West Ridge Road in GreecePortage, N.Y. — A report of a missing man led authorities to discover he had been killed in a snowmobile crash in Livingston County.An Ontario County man has been charged with first- and third-degree rape and facilitating a sexual performance of a child with drugs or alcohol.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills stayed in-house by promoting offensive coordinator Joe Brady as their new head coach.
