US Registration Directive Further Criminalizes Undocumented Immigrants.
This week, the Trump administration announced that it will ramp up enforcement of a relatively obscure legal provision that requires undocumented immigrants in the United States to register with the government.
This move risks adding another layer of fear and anxiety in immigrant communities where the Trump administration’s moves on immigration have already left many fearful to visit previously safe places to address essential needs like health and education.

Sask premier says school pronoun policy based on wide consultation, but judge says there's no evidence of that
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is reiterating his claim that his government's school pronoun policy was based on extensive consultations with parents, teachers and others, but a judge says there's no evidence those occurred.
