A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked an executive order from President Donald Trump that would cancel collective bargaining rights for most federal workers. 

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman blocked the Trump administration from implementing the order following a lawsuit from the National Treasury Employees Union, which represents about 160,000 federal employees.

The union claims in the lawsuit that the order would violate federal workers’ labor rights and is unconstitutional, adding that it would lose two-thirds of its membership and half of its dues if they order is allowed to go through. 

The order exempted more than a dozen agencies from the requirement to bargain with unions, including the departments of Justice, State, Defense, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, and Health and Human Services departments.

TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER ON VOTING BLOCKED BY FEDERAL JUDGE AMID FLURRY OF LEGAL SETBACKS 

It affects around 75% of the nearly one million federal workers represented by unions and expands an existing rule that exempts national security agencies like the FBI and CIA from collective bargaining requirements.

The U.S. Treasury Department also filed a lawsuit against the NTEU following the order to invalidate a collective bargaining agreement involving IRS employees. 

FEDERAL JUDGE PARTIALLY BLOCKS TRUMP'S EFFORT TO DENY FUNDING TO PRO-DEI PUBLIC SCHOOLS

The order is part of the administration’s efforts to lessen the size of the federal government, by making it easier to discipline and fire workers and change working conditions. 

The temporary injunction will remain in place pending the outcome of the NTEU lawsuit. 

Friedman said he would issue an opinion explaining his ruling in the next few days.

He also gave attorneys on both sides a week to propose how the lawsuit should move forward.

States that allow illegal immigrants to collect unemployment benefits could lose federal funding, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said Friday. 

In a letter to all governors, Chavez-DeRemer urged them to comply with President Donald Trump's directives to ensure that tax dollars aren't used to benefit those in the U.S. illegally. 

"Our nation’s unemployment benefits exist solely for workers who are eligible to receive them," Chavez-DeRemer wrote. "To qualify for unemployment, one must be able and available to work, actively seeking work and be legally authorized to accept employment in the United States. Unemployment benefits are not a handout for those in our country illegally."

HUD TERMINATES OBAMA-ERA HOUSING RULE THAT TRUMP WARNED WOULD ‘DESTROY’ HOME VALUES

Chavez-DeRemer urged the states to use SAVE, an online database for registered federal, state and local government agencies, to verify the immigration status of applicants seeking benefits or licenses.  

The move comes as the Trump administration continues to clamp down on illegal immigrants who receive taxpayer benefits. 

On Thursday, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USDA) is taking action to ensure that illegal immigrants no longer receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, widely known as food stamps. 

HUD OFFICES BECAME AS VACANT AS A ‘SPIRIT HALLOWEEN’ STORE UNDER BIDEN: ADMIN SOURCES

"USDA's nutrition programs are intended to support the most vulnerable Americans," Rollins said. "To allow those who broke our laws by entering the United States illegally to receive these benefits is outrageous."

Last month, Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner warned illegal immigrants living in government-funded housing that HUD is prioritizing only Americans under the Trump administration. 

"At HUD, we only serve one out of four Americans that we should be serving, and that has to come to an end," Turner told Fox News Digital at the time. "And so we're not only making it a priority, but we are making that our only priority, that American citizens will benefit from hard-working American taxpayer dollars."

Several Democrats who have argued that "no one is above the law" in President Donald Trump’s cases are now condemning the arrest of Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan, warning it could threaten the rule of law.

"This is not normal," Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., tweeted of Dugan’s arrest by the FBI on proceeding obstruction charges for allegedly shielding an indicted Mexican migrant from ICE agents. 

"The administration's arrest of a sitting judge in Wisconsin is a drastic move that threatens the rule of law," Klobuchar added, saying it's a "grave step and undermines our system of checks and balances."

During Trump’s 2019 impeachment, Klobuchar said his first impeachment case marked a "somber day for our country."

FBI ARRESTS JUDGE, ALLEGING SHE OBSTRUCTED ARREST OF ILLEGAL ALIEN

"In America, no one is above the law, and the American people deserve to hear evidence and witness testimony during a full and fair trial in the Senate. If the president has any facts to present in his defense to the articles of impeachment, we should hear them," she said.

After the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, Klobuchar said, "The law is king, and the former president isn't."

Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., also condemned Dugan’s arrest, saying, "If [FBI Director] Kash Patel and Donald Trump don’t like a judge, they think they can arrest them.

"This is stunning — we must stand up to this blatant power grab. Republicans: How is this not a red line for you?"

AG PAM BONDI OUTRAGED AT WISCONSIN JUDGE ARRESTED FOR OBSTRUCTING ARREST OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT

Commenting in 2020 on her vote to remove Trump from office over abuse of power allegations, Smith said she took her constitutional oath seriously and that "to condone corrupt behavior such as this undermines the core value that we stand for as a nation -- that no one is above the law, including and most especially our president."

Smith said she pored over presentations and evidence to reach that conclusion.

Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis., who represents Dugan’s county, lambasted the White House, saying its "willingness to weaponize federal law enforcement is shocking and this arrest has all the hallmarks of overreach."

"I will be following this case closely and facts will come out. However, I am very alarmed at the increasingly lawless actions of the Trump administration, and in particular ICE, who have been defying courts and acting with disregard for the Constitution."

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., commented on an apparently deleted tweet from Patel, writing on X, "Donald Trump and JD Vance are arresting judges now. Deleting the tweet won't undo the constitutional crisis you have just thrust us into."

In a 2023 interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt, Khanna said of the Trump impeachment, "You can't just say, 'OK, because someone was president or someone is a candidate, that you're above the law.' Everyone is under the law, and that allegations, the evidence needs to be pursued."

When reached for comment by Fox News Digital, Khanna said of the contrast that Trump has "waged war on the judiciary" and that there is no public evidence yet regarding Dugan, but "it is deeply concerning given the administration’s attacks on the courts."

"Even Chief Justice Roberts has rebuked Trump’s conduct toward the judiciary," Khanna added.

Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., said norms were being violated on the immigration and legal fronts for Dugan’s arrest.

In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, Pocan laid out the differences he sees between the Dugan and Trump cases: "Judge Dugan’s arrest is outrageous and a fear tactic to our independent judiciary. Trump has always thought he was above the law, but now he’s enabling his goons to push that limit as far as it can go. His reckless deportations and flaunting of the Constitution will fail," Pocan said.

"This is stuff I expect from Third World countries," he told Axios.

In a December 2019 statement after his vote in favor of impeachment, Pocan said Trump was "never held accountable for his actions" over his 70-plus years of life.

"Today, Democrats sent a clear signal to this president and all future presidents: No one is above the law."

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., is once again charging into battle to defend women and basic biology — this time taking aim at Clemson University over a form that listed a whopping 15 gender identities.

After demanding answers, Mace announced Friday that Clemson President Jim Clements confirmed to her that the controversial form was no longer online.

"JUST IN: we heard from the President of Clemson," Mace posted on X. "This form with 15 genders has been taken down."

In a fiery video posted to her social media on Friday, Mace slammed Clemson for offering a health portal menu that included terms like "genderqueer," "two-spirit," "cis female" and "cis male."

"Hey everyone, just learned this morning from Libs of TikTok, not from your state legislature, that Clemson University in South Carolina has 15 genders on one of their applications," Mace said in a video on Instagram. "We want to make sure South Carolina is following science and not some radical, woke, leftist, lunatic ideology. Not on my watch."

EXCLUSIVE: NANCY MACE TARGETED BY PENNSYLVANIA MAN ARRESTED FOR THREATENING TRUMP

Mace wasn’t just venting.

She immediately took action, leaving a voicemail and sending a text to Clements demanding answers. "Since there are only two genders," she said, "I just had this issue with USC, and I would like to make sure that you guys are following suit."

The form in question, first flagged by Libs of TikTok, showed a dropdown menu allowing students to select from 15 different gender identities. 

However, Clemson responded exclusively to Fox News Digital, clarifying that "Clemson University does not have this type of menu in its housing application." 

Instead, the menu appeared in an external vendor's health services portal, was optional, and has since been taken down. The university said it is now "consulting with medical professionals to determine what information is needed for medical care purposes."

Mace made it clear in her social media posts that she believes state universities should reflect two genders, male and female, if they want to keep receiving taxpayer dollars. "If it were me and Clemson University had 15 genders, they would not get a dime in the state of South Carolina," she warned.

GRAPHIC LANGUAGE: CONGRESSWOMAN'S PROFANE SUPERMARKET ARGUMENT WITH CONSTITUENT CAUGHT ON CAMERA

"Cis is a slur," Mace emphasized in her Instagram video, adding, "Women are women, men are men."

This isn’t Mace's first stand in the gender wars. She recently made headlines by leading the effort to block Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., a biological man who identifies as a woman, from using women's restrooms on Capitol Hill. Her campaign to "protect women’s spaces" has not come without backlash.

"All the violence and threats keep proving our point," Mace posted on X. "Women deserve to be safe. Your threats will not stop my fight for women! Not now, not ever," she declared.

Late last year, Mace reported being physically accosted on Capitol grounds, an incident that led to the arrest of a 33-year-old Illinois man. She is the first woman to graduate from the Citadel.

Mace's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia has become the latest Democrat in Congress to signal that President Donald Trump deserves to be impeached, even though he has only been in the White House this term for less than 100 days. 

During a town hall Friday in Cobb County, Georgia, Ossoff took questions from the audience, including from a fired-up local mother who questioned Ossoff about why there has not been a more concerted effort to impeach Trump. 

"Why are there no calls for impeachment?" Ossoff was asked. "Do something more!"

‘BIDEN EFFECT’ HITS THE SENATE: WAVE OF RETIREMENTS CLEARS PATH FOR YOUNGER DEMS

Ossoff told the woman at the top of his response that "there is no doubt" Trump has exceeded the standard for impeachment.

"I saw just 48 hours ago, [Trump] is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin," Ossoff said. "There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense. And the reality is that that's just one of many [examples] — defying a federal court order, for example. So, I agree with you."

Ossoff's remarks make him the latest Democratic lawmaker in Congress who has either explicitly called for Trump's impeachment or signaled their willingness to support such a move just 100 days into his presidency. While most Democrats have been willing to publicly admit the country is facing a constitutional crisis under Trump, most of them have refrained from going so far as to use the "I" word. 

DEMS FUME OVER ‘DUE PROCESS’ FOR ABREGO GARCIA DESPITE LONG HISTORY OF PARTY BUCKING THE LEGAL PRINCIPLE

Some though, such as progressive Sen. Al Green, D-Texas, have not shied away from supporting calls for impeachment. He was the first congressional lawmaker to call for it just weeks into the president's second term. Green's calls have been supported by other Democrats, such as Reps. Suzanne Bonamici and Maxine Dexter of Oregon; Sam Liccardo and Maxine Waters of California; Ilhan Omar of Minnesota; Shri Thanedar of Michigan; and Hank Johnson of Georgia, all of whom have gone publicly on the record regarding their support, according to NBC News. 

"Right now, it's 218 to 215, so if you can find me two Republicans, I'll go to work tomorrow," Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., who led impeachment efforts against Trump during his first term, told a reporter when asked about the matter.

Trent England, a presidential elections expert and founder of the nonprofit Save Our States, bashed Democratic lawmakers for "claiming to be all about democracy," but when they don't get what they want, "suddenly democracy is not what they're all about."

"It really undercuts Democrats' message about elections when as soon as they get an election result they don't like, they're out challenging it through impeachment. Especially when Democrats claimed after 2016 that part of their issue with Trump was that he only won the Electoral College," England added. "Well, now he's won a resounding popular vote, in addition to winning the Electoral College. And, yet, they're still out there trying to impeach him at the very beginning of his administration."

REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK: IMPEACHAPALOOZA IS HERE TO STAY

England also opined that the calls for impeachment were an easy way for Democrats to help boost their fundraising efforts. 

"Efforts like this show how a lot of members of Congress are really operating as personal fundraising machines, as opposed to legislators," England said. "They're not trying to get things done. They know that using platforms like Act Blue, they can fly the impeachment flag and raise a lot of money from left-wing donors without ever believing that any of this is going to have any effect."

The first-term Democratic senator is facing re-election later this year, as his term ends early next year. Ossoff's office declined to comment for this story.

In a statement to Fox News Digital, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman Tim Scott said Ossoff's push for impeachment illustrates "the desperation of his re-election campaign." 

"Not even 100 days into President Donald J. Trump's terms, and Ossoff is already pushing impeachment," Scott said. "His obsession makes clear just how out of touch he is with Georgia voters. The desperation in his re-election campaign is already showing."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memo on Friday calling for a review of Military Equal Opportunity and DoD civilian Equal Employment Opportunity programs. The secretaries of each military department are required under the memo to assess the programs in place within their own departments.

In a video posted on X announcing the memo, Hegseth said that while it’s "a good thing" that the military has multiple avenues for both service members and civilians to complain about harassment and discrimination, the systems have been "weaponized" and used "in bad faith to retaliate against superiors or peers."

HEGSETH FACES LATEST BATTLE DEFENDING HIS DEFENSE SECRETARY POST AT THE PENTAGON

The memo's official title is "Restoring Good Order and Discipline Through Balanced Accountability," but Hegseth says he calls it the "No More Walking on Eggshells" policy.

"So, here’s the goal: empower leaders to make tough decisions, enforce standards, and restore good order and discipline," Hegseth said in the video.

The memo directs the secretaries to ensure that complaints that "are unsubstantiated by actionable, credible evidence are timely dismissed." Additionally, "favorable actions," such as awards and promotions, involving the alleged offender are to be considered until the complaint is substantiated. Finally, the memo states that those who "knowingly submit false complaints" may face discipline.

The secretaries have 45 days to complete their reviews.

Hegseth is no stranger to controversy and has faced several allegations since being tapped to lead DoD. It is not a stretch to imagine that he might have empathy for those facing false or unsubstantiated allegations.

DEFENSE SECRETARY PETE HEGSETH REBUFFS NEW GROUP CHAT ALLEGATIONS AS ATTEMPT TO ‘SABOTAGE’ TRUMP'S AGENDA 

Prior to his confirmation, Hegseth faced allegations of sexual misconduct, alcohol abuse and mismanagement of veterans’ organizations. This included an affidavit by his former sister-in-law in which she alleged that Hegseth was physically abusive to his ex-wife, Samantha "Sam" Hegseth. However, Sam denied the allegations, saying she did not experience physical abuse during her marriage to Hegseth.

Hegseth told lawmakers during his confirmation hearing that he is not a "perfect person," but asserted that he was the subject of a "coordinated smear campaign orchestrated in the media." 

Additionally, since becoming secretary of defense, Hegseth has been involved in two scandals regarding the encrypted messaging app Signal.

The first scandal occurred when The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg was added to a Signal chat in which there were discussions about plans for the U.S. to strike Yemen. While National Security Advisor Mike Waltz took a lot of heat for the situation, Hegseth was not spared from criticism. In the end, the Trump administration insisted that the discussions in the group did not actually involve "war plans."

On Sunday, Hegseth was accused of sharing military information in a Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal attorney. The New York Times reported that people with knowledge of the situation said the information "included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen." 

Hegseth told "FOX & Friends" that the allegations were meant to "sabotage" President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Despite an op-ed suggesting that Hegseth could be on the way out, the White House has stood behind him.

"He is bringing monumental change to the Pentagon, and there's a lot of people in the city who reject monumental change, and I think, frankly, that's why we've seen a smear campaign against the Secretary of Defense since the moment that President Trump announced his nomination before the United States Senate," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday.

An audience with the pope is a day to remember.

But only on Capitol Hill would the day after the pope visited become even more memorable.

The late Pope Francis came to Washington, D.C., to speak to a Joint Meeting of Congress on Sept. 24, 2015. He wasn’t the first pontiff to descend on Capitol Hill. But the pope is a head of state, ruling the Vatican City and the Holy See. As such, Francis became the first pope to speak to a Joint Meeting of Congress in the House chamber.

DEMOCRATS' IDENTITY CRISIS: YOUTH REVOLT ROCKS PARTY AFTER TRUMP COMBACK 

Lawmakers showered the Holy Father with applause and two standing ovations during his address. Two Catholics were perched behind Pope Francis on the dais: then Vice President Joe Biden and former House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. As vice president, Biden served as President of the Senate. As speaker, Boehner was the Constitutional officer for the legislative branch.

Boehner blotted his eyes with a handkerchief several times during the 3,400-word speech.

Pope Francis implored lawmakers to treat each other — and their constituents — with dignity.

"We need to avoid a common temptation nowadays. To discard whatever proves troublesome. Let us remember the Golden Rule: ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,’" he said.

GOP PUSH TO MAKE TRUMP'S 2017 TAX CUTS PERMANENT, SAY GOING BACK WOULD BE A ‘DRAMATIC’ CHANGE FOR MANY 

One thing I remember about the Pope’s visit was the choreography. Congressional workers affixed small, green strips of tape to the Capitol’s marble floors. Names were emblazoned on the tape in black Magic Marker at different points around the complex. "McCarthy" or "Pelosi" or "McConnell." All part of the political — and papal — stagecraft.

The tape dictated where key political leaders would stand as they escorted Pope Francis into the House chamber or in front of the statue of Junipero Serra in Statuary Hall.

A duct-taped "X" marked the floor in front of Serra. The pope canonized Serra the day before he visited the Capitol at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. Serra became the first American to become a saint on U.S. soil. Pope Francis blessed the statue of Serra. The statue depicts the saint hoisting a cross in his right hand, looking skyward toward the heavens.

Someone taped a green arrow over the black and white tiles of Statuary Hall, pointing toward the Speaker’s Office.

That signaled the pope’s next stop on Capitol Hill.

FOX NEWS TO AIR LIVE COVERAGE OF POPE FRANCIS' FUNERAL ON SATURDAY

Pope Francis and the entourage then walked toward Boehner’s office and onto the Speaker’s Balcony overlooking the West Front of the Capitol and down the National Mall toward the Washington Monument.

A throng assembled on the Capitol grounds.

"Buenos dias," said the Pope, greeting the crowd like he would from the "Pope’s Window" at the Apostolic Palace at the Vatican on a Sunday. "I am grateful for your presence."

He then blessed the pilgrims on the ground below.

"Papa! Papa!" the crowd chanted.

When the pope first arrived at the Capitol, he met with Boehner in the Speaker’s ceremonial office just off the House floor.

Boehner paced nervously awaiting Pope Francis on the 19th century Minton Tiles, which adorn the office.

"He’s on Boehner time," said the former speaker. "Which is on time."

Boehner wore his signature Kelly green tie for the occasion — a vintage piece of Boehner apparel, which dates back to when he served in the Ohio state legislature and first ran for Congress in 1990. When Pope Francis arrived, he told the former speaker the tie bore a "color of hope."

A few days later, Boehner choked up as he relayed a story about what Pope Francis said to him when they were about to exit the Capitol.

"We found ourselves alone," said Boehner of himself and Francis.

The pope grabbed the speaker’s arm.

"The pope puts his arm around me and kind of pulled me to him and said, ‘Please pray for me,’" said Boehner. "Wow. Who am I to pray for the pope?’ But I did."

Boehner left the Capitol that night. But his encounter with the Holy Father seemingly transformed the speaker — and altered the trajectory of the House for years to come.

The speaker decided to resign the next morning.

"He had been trying to get out of here for years," said one source close to the speaker at the time.

Boehner’s plans to depart were thwarted when the heir apparent, former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., stunningly lost his primary in the spring of 2014.

So Boehner soldiered on.

By late July 2015, former Trump White House chief of staff and former Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., prepped a "motion to vacate the chair." Those who follow Capitol Hill know all about such a motion now. But it was novel a decade ago. Such a motion would require the House to take a vote of confidence in the speaker in the middle of the Congress. Lawmakers had never used the tactic before. It was hardly discussed.

Meadows released his resolution just before the August recess — but never triggered it.

That gave Boehner and the House a month to stew over whether Meadows might try to oust the speaker when lawmakers returned in September.

On the night after the pope’s visit, Boehner called his chief of staff, Mike Sommers, to tell him he planned to step aside. Boehner also told his wife, Debbie, of his plans.

"This morning I woke up, said my prayers, as I always do, and thought, ‘This is the day I am going to do this,’" said Boehner.

Boehner then astonished a meeting of the House Republican Conference that he intended to resign.

The move sent a shock wave through Washington.

"My first job as speaker is to protect the institution," Boehner said. "It had become clear to me that this prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable harm to the institution."

The Boehner departure — the day after his encounter with Pope Francis — set into motion what some might regard as the very "prolonged leadership turmoil" that the former speaker hoped to avoid.

It was believed that former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. — then the House Majority Leader — would ascend to the job. But as startling as Boehner’s departure was, McCarthy supplanted that. Moments before House Republicans were set to tap McCarthy as the next speaker, McCarthy withdrew from the contest. He lacked the votes.

McCarthy’s decision roiled Capitol Hill for weeks. Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., eventually took the job. But Ryan was reluctant. He even put out a statement that he didn’t want it.

Others jumped in: Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Fla., along with former Reps. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, and Bill Flores, R-Texas.

But Ryan finally came around. Fox was told at the time that if Ryan hadn’t come around, "there would be blood on the floor" of the House as Republicans waged an internecine donnybrook.

Ryan remained as House speaker until he retired in early 2019. Democrats won the House in the 2018 midterms. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., returned to the speakership she held eight years before.

But Democrats lost the House in the 2022 midterms. And even though McCarthy touted a 40-plus-seat rout for the GOP, Republicans controlled the House by a thread.

DICK DURBIN, NO 2. SENATE DEMOCRAT, WON'T SEEK RE-ELECTION

Thus, it set into motion a five-day battle in early 2023 as McCarthy struggled for 15 rounds before winning the speakership. It was the longest speaker’s race since the mid-19th century.

But McCarthy was gone by early November.

Remember that "motion to vacate the chair" mentioned earlier?

Meadows never activated his motion in 2015. But former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., did in 2023.

McCarthy was done. And the House spent three weeks trying to elect a new speaker.

First they tried House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La. Then House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio. Then House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn.

None prevailed.

Finally, a backbencher emerged from the fray: House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

The House of Representatives has never quite been the same since Boehner made his surprise announcement after his encounter with Pope Francis. The speakership seems to teeter on an edge these days — at least when Republicans run the chamber. Johnson periodically endures threats to "vacate the chair." Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., tried to bounce him just last year.

During the speaker succession fight of 2015 and the three-week speaker debacle of 2023, friends asked if "white smoke" would emanate from the Capitol Dome. They facetiously suggested that it would signal the election of a new House speaker.

The College of Cardinals will begin a conclave in Rome in a few days to select a successor to Pope Francis. It’s a political process. Not unlike what happens in Congress when there’s a vacancy in the speakership. We’ll know there’s a new pope when white smoke wafts out of a duct atop the Sistine Chapel.

It was an important day when Pope Francis spoke to a Joint Meeting of Congress in 2015. But in sheer Congressional terms, the day afterward was seismic for the nature of the institution. Boehner’s abrupt resignation ushered in an unsettled era about who presides over the House. The visit by Pope Francis and Boehner’s departure forever melded the two together in the annals of Capitol Hill.

And as a result, whenever there’s a House speaker interregnum in the future, political observers will always look for political "white smoke" to find out if lawmakers have settled on a new leader.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., posted a campaign-style video on social media this week that sparked rumors about her political future. But conservatives quickly struck up a different conversation when she claimed, "We are one," after years of criticism for playing identity politics. 

"Don't let them trick us into thinking we are enemies. Don't let them trick us into thinking we can be separated into rural and urban, Black and white and Latina. We are one," Cortez said in the video that's amassed over 7 million views. 

While Ocasio-Cortez seems to imply Republicans are seeking to divide America based on race, the four-term New York congresswoman has a long track record of invoking race in politics. 

The words highlighted in Ocasio-Cortez's video this week spotlight a fixture of her developing stump speech to record-setting crowds alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., during their "Fighting Oligarchy" tour. The progressive Democrat has often argued that Republicans weaponize racial resentment to halt Democratic progress. 

'WE ARE ONE': AOC CAMPAIGN VIDEO SWIRLS 2028 PRESIDENTIAL RUMORS

"The only chance they have to get away with such an unpopular and hurtful agenda is to stoke deep divisions along race, identity and culture to keep us fighting and distracted," she said at a rally in Boise, Idaho, earlier this month. 

POLLSTER NATE SILVER CALLS OCASIO-CORTEZ MOST LIKELY TO BE 2028 DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE

During the 2024 presidential campaign, Ocasio-Cortez told The Independent that "as an elected official, who is a prominent woman of color, I've seen a lot," adding that Vice President Kamala Harris has her own experience with misogyny and racism. 

"I think we brace ourselves for some of the unfair misogynistic and racial undertones, overtones, explicit attacks on implicit attacks that she may be subjected to, and it's important for us to keep our eyes open for what is fair, but also what is unfair," she said. 

Since Ocasio-Cortez was elected in 2018 to represent parts of Queens and the Bronx in the U.S. House of Representatives, unseating a 10-term incumbent, she has framed her success as shattering barriers to gender and racial justice in the United States. 

During her victory speech in Queens in November 2018, Ocasio-Cortez noted she was the "first person of color to ever represent" New York's 14th Congressional District, which she said was 70% people of color, half of them working class. 

Then the youngest congresswoman, Ocasio-Cortez said she was mistaken for an intern or a spouse and used the opportunity to spotlight the bias against her, posting on social media, "Next time try believing women + people of color when they talk about their experiences being a woman or person of color."​

Jussie Smollett, a Black and gay actor, falsely claimed in January 2019 that he was attacked by two men at 2 a.m. on a cold Chicago night and said the men yelled he was in "MAGA country," used racist and homophobic slurs, wrapped a rope around his neck and poured an "unknown substance" on him. 

Smollet was sentenced in 2022 for faking a hate crime and lying to the Chicago Police about it. Smollett received support of several Democrats before his allegations were debunked, including Ocasio-Cortez, who said it was "a racist and homophobic attack," while urging Americans to work to change what is "happening to our country." Ocasio-Cortez deleted her pro-Smollett tweet when he was convicted of staging the crime. 

During a "60 Minutes" interview in 2019, Ocasio-Cortez labeled President Donald Trump "racist." 

Later that year, Ocasio-Cortez accused former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi of unfairly singling out the freshmen progressive "Squad," calling it an "explicit singling out of newly elected women of color."​

She later clarified that she wasn't calling Pelosi racist but maintained that women of color were disproportionately targeted.

But Ocasio-Cortez didn't hold back in her racist allegations when Trump said the "Squad" should "go back" to other countries. 

"We don’t leave the things that we love. When we love this country, what that means is we propose the solutions to fix it," she said at a press conference. She later said on social media it was the "hallmark language of white supremacists," warning, "Trump feels comfortable leading the GOP into outright racism."

During the pandemic in 2020, Ocasio-Cortez said on social media, "COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities," adding, "the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions," tying health disparities to racial injustice. 

After the attacks on the U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, 2021, Ocasio-Cortez said in an Instagram Live she "didn’t even feel safe around other members of Congress"​ and added that she avoided hiding during the attack where "there were QAnon and white supremacist sympathizers, and frankly white supremacist members of Congress in that extraction point"​

And in the aftermath of a shooting at a Buffalo supermarket in a predominately Black neighborhood, she said in a post, "White supremacy has cost countless lives from El Paso to Mother Emanuel and now Buffalo. Our hearts break for the victims. And we demand accountability."

In a GQ interview that year, Ocasio-Cortez reiterated that misogyny and racism shaped her experience as a politician. saying, "I admit to sometimes believing that I live in a country that would never let" a woman become president. 

In 2023, Ocasio-Cortez's views on race and gender came to a head during a viral speech on the House floor in support of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., before the House voted to oust Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee. She said Omar's ouster had nothing to do with "the condemnation of antisemitic remarks," but "the racism and incitement of violence against women of color in this body."

"Don’t tell me this is about objectivity. … This is about targeting women of color in the United States of America," Ocasio-Cortez said as she slammed her notebook on a table. 

Ocasio-Cortez faced pushback from conservatives for claiming "We are one" in her video this week while still designating Americans along racial and ethnic lines in the same video. 

Colin Rugg, a conservative influencer and co-owner of Trending Politics, responded, "This has to be a joke.

"You capitalized ‘Black’ and ‘Latino’ but not ‘white.’ You guys were always the ones drumming up the race stuff. Everyone was fine," Matt Antar, finance chair of the New York Young Republicans Club, added on X among the flood of furious replies from conservatives questioning why "white" was lower case in her post.

Since 2020, AP Style, the standard for American journalism style preferences, has capitalized "Black" to represent the "shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black." AP Style does not capitalize "white" because white people "generally do not share the same history and culture, or the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color," according to the Associated Press. 

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment by deadline.

Lawyers for Venezuelan men facing deportation told the Supreme Court on Monday that the Trump administration is defying its order by failing to give proper notice, violating their due process rights under the Constitution. 

The Supreme Court issued a ruling in a separate case on April 7, allowing the Trump administration to continue its deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act (AEA), proving a significant victory for President Donald Trump's immigration agenda. The justices noted that the deportations could continue so long as the AEA detainees received proper notice. 

"More specifically, in this context, AEA detainees must receive notice after the date of this order that they are subject to removal under the Act," the opinion reads. "The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs."

Due process is a constitutional principle that ensures fairness in legal and administrative proceedings, which includes giving proper notice and an opportunity to be heard in a timely manner by an impartial tribunal. The Supreme Court pointed to Reno v. Flores, a 1993 Supreme Court case, in writing, '"It is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law' in the context of removal proceedings."

GORSUCH, ROBERTS SIDE WITH LEFT-LEANING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES IN IMMIGRATION RULING

"So, the detainees are entitled to notice and opportunity to be heard ‘appropriate to the nature of the case,’" the Court wrote, citing another Supreme Court precedent.  

Former Palm Beach County, Florida, state attorney Dave Aronberg told Fox News Digital the high court has purposefully avoided "precise language" when issuing such opinions, leaving the lower courts to concretely delineate what proper due process looks like in these cases. 

"Chief Justice [John] Roberts is trying to get unanimity within the Supreme Court," Aronberg said. "He wants everyone on the same page. And he also wants to avoid a constitutional crisis with the executive branch. So with all these competing interests in mind, he's trying to be more conciliatory than confrontational with the White House. But that can only go so far."

Aronberg said that "we may see stronger language going forward from the high court" as the legal challenges proceed. 

TWO FEDERAL JUDGES MAY HOLD TRUMP IN CONTEMPT AS HE DEFIES COURTS IN IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN

In its Monday filing, plaintiff attorneys argued the notice given to the detainees was "inadequate" in light of the high court's order. 

The attorneys wrote that the notice provided was in English, "even though putative class members largely speak only Spanish," and that it "did not inform" the individuals about how to contest their designation and removal under the AEA, or provide a timeline on how to do so. 

They argued the notice provided "comes nowhere near satisfying the Court’s directive" issued on April 7. 

"Whatever due process may require in this context, it does not allow removing a person to a possible life sentence without trial, in a prison known for torture and other abuse, a mere 24 hours after providing an English-only notice form (not provided to any attorney) that gives no information about the person’s right to seek judicial review, much less the process or timeline for doing so," the filing reads. 

DETAINED MIGRANTS GIVEN AS FEW AS 12 HOURS TO CONTEST DEPORTATION UNDER ALIEN ENEMIES ACT, ICE DOCUMENT SAYS

"The government cannot plausibly claim that 12 hours is sufficient notice, which could be the reason they tried to keep it from the public and other courts addressing the notice issue, including the U.S. Supreme Court," ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt, lead counsel in the case, told Fox News Digital in a statement. 

Lora Ries, Director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at the Heritage Foundation, told Fox News Digital that she expects these deportation cases to "bounce up and down the court system" as litigants work within the confines the Supreme Court specified in its April 7 opinion. 

"For now, the Supreme Court is relying on, if there's going to be a habeas suit, it's going to be in the U.S. District Court and then that judge is going to have to rule," Ries explained. "And I'm sure there will be appeals and some or all of it may end up back at the Supreme Court."

Aronberg noted that due process procedures may vary across the district courts as they juggle the various lawsuits. However, both he and Ries said the issue will likely end up in the high court's hands once again. 

"It is possible that some courts require notice to be in writing and in the native language of the deportee, whereas others could possibly accept less stringent notice requirements," Aronberg said. "Ultimately, it will lead back to the Supreme Court to dictate what is required."

Ries also said that proceedings will differ in non-AEA cases, saying individuals sought to be removed in those contexts would undergo different types of removals. 

"Immigration proceedings are civil proceedings. So you are not innocent until proven guilty," Ries said. "It doesn't apply here. You don't have a right to a public defender. You can have a deportation immigration attorney, but you, the taxpayer, is not paying for it like a public defender."
