Kathy Hochul: «They are leaving this court, separated from their families. They have no support, no attorneys. And that’s why the state of New York is providing $50 million to cover legal servicesfor people in this situation.» Hochul publicly announced $50 million for legal assistance to illegal immigrants, although the actual budget was $64.2 million, amid pressure to raise that amount to $134 million. The decision has sparked debate: supporters of illegal immigrants defend it, while critics see it as a misguided prioritization of public resources—paying for legal services for illegal immigrants instead of allocating those public funds to fight…

No sledgehammer against sinners on the fringe, yes—but what of the scalpel? Did the synodal pope cede the helm of his field hospital church?

He repeated his stance that regime change lies with the “Iranian people alone,” but added, “We’re also striking government targets, symbols of the regime.
