Plastic bag ban comes to Annapolis
Grocery shopping in Annapolis minus the convenience of plastic bags. Customers we spoke with seem to be okay with it. “I definitely like what it does for the environment,” said Judy Bowen, “I don’t always remember, because I’m a Baby Boomer and didn’t grow up with it. My kids are a lot better at it.” Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own reusable bags or they can pay a dime apiece for paper bags if they have to.

Rights groups warn Trump executive order would restore Muslim 'travel ban'
U.S. civil rights groups are warning that an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Monday lays the groundwork for reinstatement of a ban on travelers from predominantly Muslim or Arab countries. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) said the new order relied on the same statutory authority used to justify Trump's 2017 travel ban and offered even "wider latitude to use ideological exclusion to deny visa requests and remove individuals" who had already entered the country. The National Iranian-Americans Council (NIAC) said Trump's order on "Protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and other National Security and Public Safety Threats" would separate U.S. families from loved ones and lower enrollment at U.S. universities.

Trump designates Yemen's Houthis as a 'foreign terrorist organization'
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday re-designated Yemen's Houthi movement, known formally as Ansar Allah, as a "foreign terrorist organization", the White House said. The move will impose harsher economic penalties than the Biden administration had applied to the Iran-aligned group in response to its attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and against U.S. warships defending the critical maritime chokepoint. Proponents of the move say it is overdue, though some experts say it could have implications for anyone seen as aiding the Houthis, including some aid organizations.

As Trump throws immigration system into uncertainty, parents confront potential statelessness for their children
As President Donald Trump starts to defend his executive order ending birthright citizenship in court, parents are beginning to grapple with the uncertainty stemming from his unprecedented executive order and the possibility that their future children could become "stateless." Five pregnant undocumented women and two nonprofits on Tuesday filed a lawsuit in Maryland District Court challenging the order, which seeks to interpret the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship as not applying to the children of undocumented parents. Joining the lawsuit under pseudonyms, the women argued that Trump’s order deprives their future children of their constitutional rights.
