Mexican couple arrested with body parts in stroller may have killed 20

(CNN)A couple arrested in Mexico while pushing a baby stroller filled with human body parts may have killed up to 20 women, according to the chief investigator on the case. The man and woman were detained Thursday in the Mexico City suburb of Ecatepec on suspicion of murdering 10 female victims. However, the male suspect has since claimed that they are responsible for twice as many deaths. Police arrested the pair, identified only as "Juan Carlos N." and his wife "Patricia "N.," during an investigation into the disappearance of three women and a two-month-old baby. The man gave detailed accounts of the original 10 deaths. He also told police that he and his wife had killed a further 10 people, according to State of Mexico Prosecutor Alejandro Gomez and reported by AFP. Police found eight plastic buckets full of dismembered body parts and cement in the couple's house, Gomez revealed in a Facebook post on Sunday. More remains were found in a refrigera...

Australian law allows religious schools to reject gay students, PM says

(CNN)Prime Minister Scott Morrison said religious schools in Australia are already legally allowed to deny students a place based on their sexual orientation, following criticism of a leaked report that proposes allowing schools to bar them.Morrison was commenting on the contents of a leaked report on religious freedoms, reigniting debate about what constitutes unlawful discrimination against gay people just months after Australia's Parliament voted to legalize same-sex marriage. Fairfax Media reported Wednesday it had seen contents of the report, which recommended amendments to a federal law that allows religious schools to discriminate against students "on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity or relationship status." When asked if he thought religious schools should be able to turn away students on the basis of sexual orientation, Morrison demurred twice, saying "that is the existing law." The Prime Minister's office said he was re...

President Donald Trump may have met his match when it comes to U.S. citizenship: the 14th Amendment

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump may have met his match Tuesday: the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside," the 1868 amendment begins. "It's ridiculous," Trump said 150 years later, on the eve of midterm elections that could erode his power, perhaps for the rest of his presidency. "And it has to end."  So began the 45th president's latest legal, policy and political battle, neatly contained in a history lesson dating to Reconstruction. As the administration vowed to block a migrant caravan heading toward the southern border and delay a trial next week on its plan to ask about citizenship on the 2020 Census, Trump turned his focus on generations of American-born citizens. In doing so, he took on both the Constitution and federal law. Title 8, Section 1401...

Trump’s birthright plan: The legality, politics and history bbc news

President Donald Trump says he plans to end "birthright citizenship" in the US by executive order. Can he do that? In an interview with Axios President Trump claimed that he was working on an end to birthright citizenship, the 150-year-old principle that says anyone born on US soil is an American citizen. "It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don't," Mr Trump said. "You can definitely do it with an Act of Congress. But now they're saying I can do it just with an executive order." Mr Trump claimed that such an order is currently in the works, and not long after, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted: "I plan to introduce legislation along the same lines as the proposed executive order from President @realDonaldTrump." The president's comments have ignited a furious debate about whether or not the president has the unilateral power to do such a thing, and whether...
