Trump admin announces overhaul of asylum system
Asylum claims have become one of the most prominent ways for illegal immigrants to secure some form of legal status in the U.S., by claiming fear of persecution should they return to their home country
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on Monday announced a change in the asylum system aimed at reducing the backlog of applicants.
The change would allow USCIS to send asylum applications to immigration judges without an interview with the applicant. At present, USCIS either directly adjudicates the case or sends it to an immigration judge for a second look. In a press release on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the current system gives applicants a de facto "second chance at asylum."
"For far too long, the asylum system has been exploited for purposes of delay and work authorization, not legitimate claims of protection," USCIS Director Joseph Edlow said. "America's asylum system exists to protect individuals who genuinely fear persecution and this rule will help ensure that resources are directed to the timely adjudication of these claims instead of those seeking to use the system as a loophole."
Asylum claims have become one of the most prominent ways for illegal immigrants to secure some form of legal status in the U.S., by claiming fear of persecution should they return to their home country.
President Donald Trump's Remain in Mexico policy, however, requires illegal aliens to wait across the border until the adjudication of their asylum claims, rather than allowing release to the U.S. interior in the interim.

Comey says seashells post was political speech - not a threat
-
as he presses to dismiss charges
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former FBI Director James Comey urged a judge on Monday to throw out federal charges against him, arguing that a photo of seashells arranged on a beach he posted on social media was not a call to violence against President Donald Trump but protected political speech.
Comey’s lawyers argue the government cannot prove the Instagram photo of seashells in the numerical arrangement of “86 47" constituted a “true threat” against the Republican president, who fired Comey in 2017 and has publicly called for his prosecution. The slogan — which has long meant to “get rid of” or “eject” — has been featured on thousands of items sold online and regularly displayed at protests, defense lawyers wrote.
“But the government now singles out Mr. Comey to prosecute one of the President’s most prominent critics for publishing another person’s statement of political opposition over a social media photo of seashells arranged on a beach,” his attorney’s wrote. “That attempt to suppress core political speech contravenes both the statutes at issue and the First Amendment.”
The seashells case against Comey was the second in months targeting the ex-FBI director, a long-running Trump foe whom the president over the years has called a “corrupt piece of garbage” and other pejorative names.

Federal Court Rules for Woman Fired for Refusing COVID-19 Vaccine
Mimi Weiss worked for Kaiser Permanente for 20 years before being terminated.
Kaiser Permanente wrongly fired an employee who declined to receive a COVID-19 vaccine because she gave proper notice to the company of her religious objection to COVID-19 vaccination, a federal appeals court has ruled.
Mimi Weiss, who worked for Kaiser Permanente’s The Permanente Medical Group for 20 years before being fired, “plausibly alleged that she provided notice of her religious conflict with the Mandate in her initial request for a religious exemption,” Circuit Judge Danielle Forrest wrote on July 24 for a unanimous panel of judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Weiss was working fully remotely, or off-site, in August 2021 as a senior managerial consultant when Kaiser Permanente imposed a COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Weiss, a Christian Jew, within weeks filed for a religious exemption, and Kaiser Permanente initially approved the request.
In September 2021, though, Kaiser Permanente said employees had submitted religious accommodation requests with identical language. Expressing concern that some of the requests were not legitimate, the company asked employees to file fresh requests using their own words. Officials then asked Weiss new questions, including, “What else besides the COVID-19 vaccine do you refuse to put in your body as a result of your religious belief?”
Weiss said she would not provide private information. Kaiser Permanente placed her on unpaid leave. Then it fired her for not complying with the mandate, prompting a lawsuit by Weiss.
A federal judge in 2024 ruled against her, concluding that Weiss had not provided Kaiser Permanente with sufficient notice of the conflict between receiving a vaccine and her beliefs.
The Ninth Circuit ruling overturns that decision, pointing to a previous opinion in which the appeals court said that to provide notice, an employee must only give “enough information about [her] religious needs to permit the employer to understand the existence of a conflict,” and that requiring any more details “would permit an employer to delve into the religious practices of an employee in order to determine whether religion mandates the employee’s adherence.”
Applying that framework to the current case means Weiss did give adequate notice, the panel said, because she identified herself as a Christian Jew, listed specific doctrines that she said barred her from receiving a COVID-19 vaccine, and outlined her belief that she should not “introduce foreign substances” into her “body temple” that would “change how [her] Creator designed it.”
In a split 2–1 decision, the panel also said that Weiss has shown sufficient evidence to bring forth allegations that Kaiser Permanente violated her right to privacy.

Made in Michigan Again: President Trump’s Trade Agenda Is Supercharging American Auto Manufacturing
President Donald J. Trump returns to Michigan today to visit the General Motors Proving Ground in Milford and celebrate the roaring comeback of American auto manufacturing under his leadership. Since taking office, President Trump has ignited an automotive renaissance — onshoring production, restoring factory jobs, and making vehicles in Michigan again.
Record Investments. Record Sales. American Jobs.
Michigan is locking in tens of billions in new capital and thousands of high-paying jobs as companies respond to President Trump’s America First policies:
• General Motors is investing $6 billion in U.S. manufacturing — including a major expansion at its Orion Township assembly plant — with plans to continue onshoring significant production. GM is also adding an overtime shift at its Flint plant amid a surge in pickup truck demand.
• Ford Motor Company is investing $3 billion in its BlueOval Battery Park in Marshall, creating 1,700 new jobs. The company is also adding a third shift at its Dearborn Truck Plant as the F-150 continues to dominate global pickup truck sales.
• Stellantis is investing $388 million to build a state-of-the-art “megahub” in Van Buren Township, $140 million to expand its Detroit plant, and $100 million to add production at its Warren plant.
Detroit Diesel is recalling laid-off workers and adding a third shift.
The results are already clear on the showroom floor. 2025 marked the strongest year for new vehicle sales since 2019. Ford posted its best annual U.S. sales in six years. General Motors delivered soaring overall volume and its strongest SUV performance in decades. Jeep sales rose for the first time since 2018.
America First Tariffs Bring Production — and Paychecks — Home
The boom stems directly from President Trump decisive tariffs that reward American workers and production:
• President Trump imposed a 25% tariff on passenger vehicles and light trucks built outside the U.S.
• President Trump signed an order rewarding domestic assembly by reducing the impact of parts tariffs on U.S.-built vehicles.
• President Trump extended a 25% tariff to medium- and heavy-duty trucks manufactured abroad.
A Broader Manufacturing Boom Across Michigan
Michigan is winning massive investments in advanced manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and technology:
• OpenAI, Oracle, and Related Digital are investing more than $7 billion in a major data center campus in Saline Township.
• Pratt Industries pledged $5 billion to reindustrialize America, with thousands of jobs headed to Michigan workers.
• Corning is expanding with a $1.5 billion investment, adding more than 400 advanced manufacturing jobs.
• Chobani is investing $567 million to expand its La Colombe plant, creating hundreds of new jobs.
• GE Aerospace is investing $60 million to boost aircraft engine and avionics production at its Michigan facilities.
• Saginaw Control & Engineering is investing $50 million to expand in Thomas Township.
• Adrian Steel is investing $43.4 million to significantly grow its operations.
• American Rheinmetall is investing $31.7 million in its Michigan facilities.

Kaiser Permanente did not return a request for comment by publication time.
“I never imagined my faith would end up costing me my job,” Weiss said in a statement.
“I wasn’t asking Kaiser for special treatment, just the freedom to live according to my conscience. After 20 years of service, I didn’t think that was too much to ask.
“I’m grateful the court recognized that religious employees should not have to give up their beliefs or their privacy to keep their jobs.”
