Republicans get some wins from the Supreme Court, and authorities discover billions more in fraud. I'm Daily Weire, executive editor John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Thursday, june twenty fifth. this is Eing Wire Two massive earthquakes struck one after the other in Venezuela and put thousands of lives at risk. A seven point two magnitude quake struck Wednesday evening near San Felipe, west of Caracas. Less than a minute later, a seven point five magnitude quake hit three miles away. Back to back earthquakes are a rare and incredibly deadly phenomenon, and the UN estimates they took down at least one hundred buildings just in the worst hit state of La Guirero The shock of the earthquakes was felt as far away as Brazil Early assessments put the death toll at over one hundred and sixty, but some fear thousands may have died.

We're already deploying search and rescue teams from Fairfax, County, Virginia and Los Angeles. That's their most immediate need right now is search and rescue efforts. They have a muchunch of collapsed buildings. and so they'll need a lot of help in terms of digging through that. R Rubio said the U.S was working with Venezuelan authorities to assess the damage and would determine a plan for long term assistance after emergency needs were addressed.

Eailewire contributor Tim Pierce has the details. Two of those rulings delivered major wins for the Trump administration on immigration In one decision, the court ruled that immigrants who were turned away at the border before entering the U. S. are not entitled to claim asylum The other ruling is related to Haitian and Syrian nationals in the U. S. under temporary protected status from the Biden administration The courourt found that those nationals are not entitled to judicial relief while they challenge the Trump administration's efforts to strip their protected status And a third opinion overturned a Hawaii gun laaw that has been criticized by secondecond Amendment advocates. That law mandated gun owners receive permission before they carry firearms into grocery stores, gas stations and other private businesses that are otherwise open to the public. Speaking of court cases, a federal appeals court blocked the Trump administration from getting Michigan's list of registered voters. The Sth Circuit is the first appeals court to rule as the Justice Department tries to access unredacted voter information from more than two dozen states The the two to one vote found that federal civil rights law does not entitle the federal government to unrestricted access to state voter rolls Judge Andre Mathis wrote that the law gave the government power to ensure that everyone who had the right to vote could freely exercise that right But today, the government invokes Title III for an inverse purpose to ensure that some people have not voted.
