Supreme Court leans toward parents who object to LGBTQ books in public schools
The conservative Supreme Court majority seemed more than ready Tuesday to tell public school districts that they must allow parents to pull their kids out of certain classes because the course material conflicts with the parents’ religious views.
At the center of the case is the school system in Montgomery County, Md., the most religiously diverse county in the U.S., with 160,000 students of almost all faiths. Beginning a few years ago, the county, which includes a substantial number of gay and lesbian parents, adopted a curriculum for elementary school students. It was aimed at promoting respect for LGBTQ+ parents and their children by including story books with gay and lesbian characters.

Judge blocks Trump administration plans to dismantle Voice of America
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from dismantling Voice of America, the government funded broadcaster, at least temporarily. It’s a dramatic turn in a series of legal cases revolving around the limits of executive power and the strength of the Constitution’s protection of free speech.
Judge Royce C. Lamberth on Tuesday ordered the Trump administration to return Voice of America employees and contractors to their status before a March 14 executive order suspended their work. The order also covers the federally funded nonprofit news outlets Radio Free Asia, and Middle East Broadcasting Networks. It is a preliminary injunction that takes effect while the case plays out in court.

After a month of searching, man learns from NBC News that DHS sent his brother to El Salvador
A Venezuelan man says he and his family back home have been anguished about the “forced disappearance” from the U.S. of Neiyerver Adrián Leon Rengel.
It was March 13 when Nedizon Alejandro Leon Rengel called his brother Neiyerver Adrián Leon Rengel to wish him a happy birthday.
Alejandro never heard back from him. Federal agents detained Adrián on his way to his job at a Dallas barbershop.
For the next five weeks, Alejandro has searched for Adrián, trying to learn where he was: deported to another country? Held in an immigration facility in the United States?
He and Adrián’s live-in girlfriend called Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Texas, getting shifted from office to office with different responses.
