Immigrants were questioned about their country of origin and turned away while waiting in line for their citizenship ceremonies.
It sounds like a work of dystopian fiction. But it's not. This is exactly what happened at Faneuil Hall last week.

The current Supreme Court has forfeited all legitimacy.
Democrats (and everyone) need to address that reality.
John Roberts > Roger Taney.
Court needs to expand. And have fixed terms—like *every* other supreme court in developed world. And have ethics rules, like all normal organizations.
