News summary

In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge signed the Immigration Restriction Act, reflecting the era's white supremacist ideology and establishing visa requirements and the category of 'illegal alien.' Luis Cortes Romero, an undocumented immigrant, overcame challenges to become the first undocumented lawyer to argue before the Supreme Court, benefiting from the DACA program. Nancy Maldonado, a former attorney, became the first Hispanic member of the federal appeals court in Chicago, flipping a seat from a Republican appointee to one by President Joe Biden. In Palm Beach County, a heated race is underway to fill the state attorney position vacated by Dave Aronberg, with Democratic candidate Gregg Lerman highlighting plans to expand drug court availability and enhance protection for seniors from fraud. Lerman's legal experience and focus on issues like drug addiction and elder abuse set the stage for a competitive election.
