Plaintiffs suing the Trump administration over use of a war authority to deport alleged gang members warned that failing to block the president from its use would mean anyone could be treated as an enemy alien.The lawyers for Venezuelan migrants suing the government said Tuesday in an appellate court filing: “The implications of the government’s position are staggering.

Fittingly, the last men’s college basketball we saw before the NCAA Tournament bracket graced the screen Sunday was the end of Michigan’s win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten tournament final — the needless, grinding, painful end.Out of bounds call, review. Out of bounds call, review. Out of bounds call, review. One of them was such an obvious call that it didn’t need to be reviewed, but that’s what college hoops officials do now, they review everything.
