‘Flat-Out Wrong': Stephen Miller Slapped Down by CNN Legal Expert
CNN legal analyst Elie Honig blasted Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller's claims about the administration's deportation tactics, saying Miller was 'flat-out wrong' after the Supreme Court ruled against he administration. Miller posted on X on Sunday that the only 'process' Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia was entitled to was 'deportation' after a federal judge ruled the government must return the Salvadorian to the U.S.—because, as the Trump administration has admitted, he never should have been deported in the first place. However, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that even migrants the government sought to deport under the wartime Alien Enemies Act must be given time to appeal the decision—making Miller's point wrong, Honig said. 'That's flat-out wrong by Stephen Miller,' Honig told Anderson Cooper on Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday. 'Even the six conservative justices say anyone is allowed to go into court to challenge this.' The Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration was allowed to proceed with enforcing the Alien Enemies Act, a 1798 law that gives the executive branch more power to remove migrants it deems threats to national security. The three liberal justices and conservative Amy Coney Barrett offered dissents, and the court ruled that the migrants must be allowed to have a federal court review the deportation orders in the district where they're being held. 'The majority, the conservative justices, said, 'You have to do it through this thing called habeas,' which has to be filed in the district where the actual person is being held,' Honig said. 'The liberals wanted to give broader rights to challenge this in court more broadly, geographically and with respect to how they challenge it. Everyone agrees you can challenge this in court." Still, Trump, Miller, and a slew of national security officials heralded the decision as a win for the administration's efforts to impose sweeping deportation orders. 'This was a huge, I mean monumental victory for President Trump,' Miller said on Hannity Monday. 'Those monsters can now be hunted down and expelled from this country with speed, force, and efficiency.' Just so long, Honig said, that a court gets a say in the decision. 'All nine justices agree that any deportee under this act does have a right to go to the courts and to challenge it,' Honig said.

Houston Marathoner: Nation's First Known Woman to Run Boston Marathon After Knee Replacement Surgery
Dr. Richard Berger, Chicago, Performed Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement HOUSTON, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "You will probably never run again," were the words marathon runner Caryn Honig heard when told she needed a knee replacement. Proving most physicians wrong, Honig went on to run three marathons and then qualified for the 2025 Boston Marathon. On April 21, she will be the first known woman to run Boston after knee replacement. How? Honig persisted until she found the right surgeon. Caryn Honig did her homework and found Richard Berger, M.D., a world-renowned orthopedic surgeon at Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Chicago. Dr. Berger's expertise has in part emanated from an MIT degree that has allowed him to innovate in a way that limits the cutting of muscles, tendons, and ligaments—resulting in a faster and more effective recovery. "People shouldn't have to relinquish their dreams without a fight," says Dr. Berger. "I told Caryn I would make sure she lived her dream to continue running marathons—and she has already done that by running several marathons after knee replacement. I'm thrilled that she has her sights set on Boston." Because Dr. Berger's procedure doesn't involve cutting of muscle, ligaments or tendons, Honig was able to walk out the door on the day of surgery and experience less pain and a much quicker recovery than those patients who have traditional replacement surgery. His minimally invasive technique also results in less scar tissue allowing elite athletes to return to their sports often in better shape than before surgery. "Caryn deserves the ultimate respect as she has worked tirelessly to rehab her knee and ensure that she is in top shape as a runner," says Dr. Tyler Humphrey, Honig's personal trainer. "She is ready to test herself in Boston and show the world that knee surgery doesn't have to mean a hard stop for athletes." Honig, who has completed 47 marathons -- three since having knee replacement -- runs for her life and for others. The University of Houston professor experienced the suicide of her father in 2022, then turned her passion for running into a mission to support suicide prevention, education, and awareness programs -- the annual "Poppy's Run for Life 5K & 1K." Since that time, she has raised over $200,000 for two suicide prevention and awareness programs in Houston: the Montrose Center and Alexander JFS Houston, both which offer suicide prevention and awareness services. Caryn is running Boston in memory of those who died from suicide. Her goal is to dedicate each mile to a different person and will carry signs to remember them. The number of women running the Boston Marathon has been steadily increasing over the years. Approximately 10,000 to 12,000 women participate annually, making up 30-40% of the total field of runners. It's estimated that somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 women over 50 will run Boston in 2025. While there are a handful of male runners who have competed in Boston after knee replacement, there is no research suggesting a female has run after knee replacement. Karen is hoping to be the first to cross the finish line. About Dr. Berger With patients flying in from all over the globe for hip or knee replacements, Dr. Berger has implemented an unparalleled concierge telehealth program for hip and knee replacement patients. With Dr. Berger's Elective Surgical + Telemedicine (BEST) Experience, patients can do pre- and post-surgical virtual consultations. The BEST experience is more convenient and a time and cost saver since patients only travel to Chicago for surgery. For more information on Dr. Berger: or call 312-432-2557.

CNN analyst says ‘big problem' if Trump didn't sign deportation orders
CNN political analyst Elie Honig is questioning President Trump over his recent deflection on how the 1798 Alien Enemies Act was invoked by the administration to speed up the deportation of Venezuelan migrants allegedly linked to gang activity. Trump, speaking to reporters on Friday, suggested that 'other people' handled the proclamation, pointing to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He added that Rubio 'has done a great job, and he wanted them out and we go along with that … We want to get criminals out of our country.' Asked by CNN's Kaitlan Collins what he believes the president was referring to, Honig brushed off the White House's argument that he was referring to the original law. 'Was he telling us that, 'I'm not John Adams, the guy who signed it back in 1798?' … The obvious thing he was saying here is, 'I did not sign this proclamation that was used last week to deport these aliens,' Honig said Friday on CNN's 'The Source.' 'If that's true, if Donald Trump did not actually sign that proclamation, it's a big problem because the law specifically requires a proclamation by the president,' he added. The 4-page proclamation does appear to have Trump's signature, according to a copy filed in the Federal Register. Honig's critique comes as the Trump administration is entrenched in a legal battle over whether the recent deportation flights are legal under the 18th century law. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg sought to block the president from invoking the law, but the flights to El Salvador of migrants accused of being part of the Tren de Aragua gang continued. The federal judge lashed out at the administration for violating his order and requested the planes to be turned around. Officials argued that since the flights were outside of U.S. airways when the directive was made, Boasberg had no right to intervene. Trump later called for his impeachment. On Friday, the judge vowed 'to get to the bottom' of the issue, after the Justice Department resisted his demands for more information about the flights, citing national security concerns and accusing him of encroaching on the executive branch's authority. Honig seemingly agreed with the judge, citing 'a couple of flaws' in the administration's argument for invoking the law. 'First of all, there has to be an invasion, and it has to be by a foreign government,' Honig said. 'And Donald Trump, if you look at the proclamation, which maybe he did or didn't sign, tries to sort of put together a very stretched argument that, 'Yes, this was an invasion, yes, it was somehow tied with the Government of Venezuela.'' He acknowledged that while most people do not want violent criminals in the country, those in the U.S. illegally could be deported under normal statutes. 'But instead, they're using this 1798 law, they're stretching the definitions beyond all belief,' he continued. 'And that's why the judge, Boasberg, today, expressed skepticism.'

Harpursville students try farm grown foods
HARPURSVILLE, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Cornell Cooperative Extension brought together regional meat farmers with elementary students, so the kids could experience fresh, locally produced meat. Students at W.A. Olmstead Elementary in Harpursville got a visit from Dan Honig from Happy Meat Valley Company. Honig's company acts as a coordinator, working with farmers to get their products sold in local stores, restaurants, and schools. The school prepared chopped cheese sandwiches for the students, and after trying it, the kids got to vote on how it tasted. If enough kids like it, the school will bring it back for lunch. Honig says the farms he works with are from the Finger Lakes Region. 'Four companies that control eighty-five percent of the beef supply in the U.S. and the fact we've been able to exist, we started in 2013. We're moving about thirty beef animals a week. Which means we can support twenty-four farms feels like success to me. We're going to keep going,' said Honig. A chopped cheese is ground beef, with spices, cheese, and lettuce served as a sandwich. One 6th grader, Garrus VanGorder says the sandwich was tasty, and it's good that he and his peers are getting introduced to new foods. 'It was good because it had hamburger, and it wasn't like so big, but it was easy enough to have a quick bite and not throw a lot away,' said VanGorder. The event is part of Cornell Cooperative Extension's New York Thursdays, connecting farmers with local communities.
