Ongoing court battles over the legality of the Trump administration’s deportations of illegal immigrants have fostered conditions for a constitutional showdown questioning where judicial authority ends and the executive’s begins.

In Washington, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has suggested that in order for the administration to avoid being held in criminal contempt, it should reassert custody over at least some of the deported individuals. Meanwhile, Paula Xinis, a federal judge in Maryland, has similarly indicated that the administration could be held in contempt for not facilitating the return of one of the detainees, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, to the United States.

According to the administration, both judges have grossly overstepped their authority. The cases have already reached the Supreme Court and will likely come before the justices again, resulting in potentially landmark decisions on the nation’s separation of powers. Commenting on Abrego Garcia’s case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit warned on April 17 of an interbranch conflict that “promises to diminish” both the executive and the judiciary.

New automotive tariffs are beginning to take effect in April and May. While some anxious buyers are rushing to dealerships to make a purchase, buying today may not necessarily ensure a good deal, several experts said.

Karl Brauer, an executive analyst at car search engine and price aggregation service iSeeCars.com, said in an email that automakers and dealers are both “playing up the potential price increases to increase sales in the near term … Even they don’t know exactly how tariffs will play out in their pricing structure,” Brauer said. “While higher future vehicle prices are possible, they are not guaranteed, and buyers should never be driven by fear or intimidation.”

Charles Benoit, a trade counsel at the Coalition for a Prosperous America, predicts that if the tariffs are successful in driving production back to the United States and pushing consumers to buy American, the increased production capacity will lower automotive prices. (More)

Throughout history, people have tried even the most bizarre remedies to maintain luscious locks. The ancient Egyptian text, “Ebers Papyrus”—discovered in a royal tomb—records a treatment used by Queen Ses more than 3,000 years ago: a mixture of “toes-of-a-dog, refuse-of-dates, and hoof-of-an-ass.” While the effectiveness of such ancient remedies is difficult to verify today, one thing has been proven: Dietary choices can reduce hair shedding.

Think of healthy hair as a lush, thriving garden. The medications and injections discussed in part 2 of this series are like synthetic fertilizers used to help struggling plants grow. However, for long-term recovery and growth, the soil must also be enriched. Likewise, nourishing the body through proper diet and nutrition is one of the most natural—and fundamental—ways to support healthy hair growth..

Hair growth requires vitamins, minerals, proteins, and Omega-3s to provide nutrients for optimal hair follicle function. They support cell growth, enhance blood circulation, and help produce keratin, the main protein in hair. (More)
