The rogue judicial branch strikes, yet again. Today, another activist federal judge defied the Supreme Court in an effort to stop the potential deportations of over one million migrants. San Francisco U.S. District Judge Edward Chen, who was originally appointed by Barack Obama, issued a ruling that blocks the Trump administration from canceling the temporary protected status of around 1.1 million Haitian and Venezuelan immigrants. Take a look: JUST IN: A federal judge has BLOCKED President Trump from ending temporary legal protections for more than ONE MILLION Haitians and Venezuelans in the US The judicial coup HAS TO END. Biden gave them this status unilaterally, but Trump can’t REVOKE it unilaterally?

In case you’re wondering, yes, these same Haitians (allegedly) were the ones eating people’s pets in Ohio last year… Cats everywhere are on the edge of their seat — Ding Harman (@1amIan) September 5, 2025 DHS Secretary Kristi Noem sought to strip the migrant’s protected status after taking over. Per Reuters: Temporary Protected Status is available to people whose home country has experienced a natural disaster, armed conflict or other extraordinary event. It provides eligible migrants with work authorization and temporary protection from deportation. The program was created in 1991 and under Biden was extended to cover about 600,000 Venezuelans and 521,000 Haitians. Noem reversed the extensions in February, saying they were no longer justified. Judge Chen’s ruling goes directly against a Supreme Court ruling in May that explicitly granted the Trump administration permission to go ahead and end the Temporary Protected Status program. From CBS News: “This case arose from action taken post haste by the current DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem, to revoke the legal status of Venezuelan and Haitian TPS holders, sending them back to conditions that are so dangerous that even the State Department advises against travel to their home countries,” Chen wrote in a 69-page decision. “The Secretary’s action in revoking TPS was not only unprecedented in the manner and speed in which it was taken but also violates the law.” In May, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to end the TPS program for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans, freezing an earlier ruling by Chen. Chen said that decision concerned only preliminary relief he ordered that postponed the Department of Homeland Security’s actions. The high court’s order, he said, did not bar him from adjudicating the case on the merits or issuing relief under the Administrative Procedure Act, a federal law that governs the agency rulemaking process. The Justice Department will likely appeal the decision. The Department of Homeland Security criticized the ruling in a statement, and said Noem will “use every legal option at the Department’s disposal to end this chaos and prioritize the safety of Americans.” “For decades the TPS program has been abused, exploited, and politicized as a de facto amnesty program. Its use has been all the more dangerous given the millions of unvetted illegal aliens the Biden Administration let into this country,” the statement read. It’s likely that this case will head back to the Supreme Court and be overturned. Still, it’s absolutely infuriating that these corrupt, leftist judges have the gumption to get in the way every time the Trump administration tries to do something. The judicial coup has to end. We need to get them out along with the Somalis — Lugnut (@Lugnaht) September 5, 2025

The NRA is not happy with the White House. As the WLT Report covered earlier in the week, a response to the Minneapolis Catholic school shooting, the Department of Justice is now considering banning transgenders from owning guns. However, the talks are not President Trump’s official stance and are currently in their preliminary stages. Many conservative gun advocates do not agree with the possible ban. In a press release on Friday, the National Rifle Association expressed complete disagreement with the possible ban and stated that it violates the Second Amendment. Independent covered the NRA’s response: News of a potential plan from Donald Trump’s administration to block transgender Americans from owning firearms was met with an avalanche of opposition — including from major Second Amendment groups historically aligned with Republicans. The National Rifle Association, among the nation’s largest and most influential lobbying groups, said “the Second Amendment isn’t up for debate.” “The NRA supports the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding Americans to purchase, possess and use firearms,” the group said in a statement Friday. “NRA does not, and will not, support any policy proposals that implement sweeping gun bans that arbitrarily strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process,” the group said. Gun Owners of America, another major gun rights lobbying group, said it “opposes any and all gun bans. Full stop.” Take a look: The Second Amendment isn’t up for debate. pic.twitter.com/AQwouV4VDd — NRA (@NRA) September 5, 2025 Fox News reported the following details on the possible ban: Department of Justice officials have had several internal meetings about putting limitations on transgender people’s ability to purchase firearms, Fox News Digital has learned. The DOJ officials’ conversations are in an early stage and no concrete steps have been taken, according to conversations with multiple sources. But the discussions surrounding two hotly contested issues for Republicans — preserving Second Amendment rights and tightening policies related to transgender people — are happening. One source pointed to a “pattern” of shootings carried out by transgender people, including the recent tragedy at a Catholic Church in Minnesota. Robin Westman, who was named Robert through 2019, killed two children and injured more than a dozen others before dying by suicide. Westman’s firearms were purchased legally, according to the Associated Press.

Our regular listeners know that usually, Karissa and I get together to talk about our favorite solutions of the week, but today I’m interrupting our regular programming to spotlight something really special we’re rolling out again this year. It’s the return of our Local Changemakers Series! Last year, we asked our Optimist community to nominate the people and projects sparking real change in their communities—and you did not disappoint. The stories we received were powerful reminders that optimism takes root close to home. For example, in Olympia, Washington, a nonprofit called GRuB—Garden Raised Bounty— is transforming food and farming into tools for healing and connection. From youth programs to veteran beekeepers, they’re proving that a garden can be more than soil and seeds—it can grow resilience, community, and hope. We also celebrated Third Act, a movement of older Americans, founded by Bill McKibben, who are channeling their wisdom and resources into climate action and protecting democracy. With campaigns targeting big banks that fund fossil fuels and efforts to safeguard voting rights, they’re showing the world that activism doesn’t have an age limit. And across the globe in Chonburi, Thailand, we highlighted The Man That Rescues Dogs. It all started out with just one guy, Michael Baines, feeding a few strays near his restaurant. Now, it has grown into a sanctuary for more than a thousand dogs. With everything from vet care to wheelchairs for disabled puppies, it’s a story of compassion in action—and proof that one person really can change an entire community. Those are just a few of the incredible changemakers we were honored to spotlight last year, and now it’s your turn. We want to know about the difference-makers where you live. Who’s organizing cleanups? Who’s creating safe spaces? Who is inspiring you to believe in a better tomorrow? And here’s a little bonus—every nomination you send in enters you into a raffle to win a cozy Optimist Daily mug in our signature red.  Nominations are open now through September 26th, and the selected changemakers will be featured in their very own article published in the run-up to Thanksgiving. This is your chance to shine a light on the good happening in your corner of the world! So take a moment, think of that person, group, or initiative that makes you proud to be part of your community, and send in your nomination. The link is in the show notes! Let’s keep proving, together, that we’re never powerless in creating a better future.
