Rep. Bennie Thompson wants to deprive Donald Trump of Secret Service protection if he's sentenced to prison. As a former president, Trump is entitled to Secret Service protection for life. "Unfortunately, current law doesn't anticipate how Secret Service protection would impact the felony prison sentence of a protectee — even a former President," Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said in a statement released by his office. One of the biggest concerns would be what happens to Trump's Secret Service detail. The Secret Service also protects major presidential candidates.

Passengers queue at a flight connection desk at the Dubai International Airport in Dubai on April 17, 2024. The CEO of Dubai Airports said Friday that he expects services to return "close to normality" within 24 hours after the major transit hub was hit by unprecedented flooding. He confirmed, however, that the company, which owns and operates Dubai International Airport, had approved emergency budgets to provide food and water to stranded passengers, and noted that all retail outlets were now operating normally. Dubai airport said Friday that from midday local time it would be temporarily limiting the number of inbound flights for 48 hours. Dubai airport has urged passengers to exert caution when traveling, checking with airlines beforehand to confirm the status of their flight and not arriving at the airport too early.

☆ Senate Democrats unceremoniously kill Mayorkas impeachment trial
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-17 | by ( Brent D. Griffiths | Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

On Wednesday, Senate Democrats voted to declare as unconstitutional both articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — effectively ending the trial. It put a swift end to what had been a monthslong process by House Republicans, championed originally by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Democrats agreed with Schumer's move, effectively rendering the articles moot and the trial over before House Republicans could present their case. Senate Republicans were also unsuccessful in their effort to pressure vulnerable Democrats to back their push for a longer trial. Greene forced her colleagues to vote on moving forward with Mayorkas' impeachment last November.

Kamala Harris has become the face of the Biden's campaign attacks on Trump's abortion rights record. AdvertisementVice President Kamala Harris is making sure abortion rights stay at the forefront of the 2024 campaign. During the 2020 Democratic presidential run, then-Sen. Harris said states with a history of restricting abortion rights should be forced to get federal approval before enacting new laws. The campaign also announced that it will spend seven figures in an ad blitz focused on abortion rights in Arizona. Trump, of course, had no say in appointing any of the seven Arizona Supreme Court justices.

☆ Trump quickly learns 'state's rights' isn't an easy answer thanks to Arizona abortion ruling

Donald Trump said the Arizona state Supreme Court went to far in its abortion ruling. As you know it's all about state's rights. AdvertisementIn a 4-2 ruling, the conservative Arizona court ruled that an 1864 near-complete ban on abortions, enacted before Arizona was even a state, could be enforced. Trump is far from alone in his struggle to reconcile his states' rights view with the political implications of rulings that restrict abortion access. Abortion rights groups were already trying to get a ballot initiative approved for this November which would put the question of abortion access before Arizonans.

Biden's campaign has also released multiple ads tied explicitly to the issue of abortion rights.
