A U.S. appeals court ruled on Thursday that a lower court judge must reconsider his dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a pregnancy crisis center and other religious organizations challenging a New York law that prohibits retaliation against employees who receive abortions. The lawsuit, brought by CompassCare, a pregnancy crisis center operator, and other plaintiffs, argues that the law infringes on their First Amendment rights.
A federal judge in California rejected Bay Area Rapid Transit's (BART) effort to overturn a verdict awarding six former employees $7.8 million after they were fired for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine for religious reasons.
Tesla, under Elon Musk’s leadership, replaced thousands of laid-off American workers with foreign employees on H-1B visas, according to reports from employees and data from the U.S. Department of Labor. The layoffs earlier this year affected approximately 15,000 U.S. workers, primarily in Tesla’s Texas and California operations.
On Monday’s episode of The Alex Marlow Show, Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow sharply criticized the current use of H-1B visas, describing the system as a tool for corporate elites to undercut American workers. Marlow argued that the program, originally intended to fill labor shortages in specialized fields, has been abused to displace U.S. workers while driving down wages.
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk has reversed his stance on the H-1B visa program, now calling for a “major reform” of the system just days after defending it vigorously. Musk, who had previously clashed with former President Donald Trump’s supporters over the issue, now labels the H-1B system as “broken” and advocates for significant changes.
Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) criticized the H-1B visa program during an appearance on Fox News Sunday, arguing that its misuse has harmed American workers and disrupted the economy. Schmitt highlighted the challenges faced by U.S. workers, particularly those impacted by outsourcing and wage competition.
