On a chill December evening in 1773, a group of Boston revolutionaries boarded a merchant ship, dumping over three hundred chests of tea overboard in an act of defiance against British taxation. While the Boston Tea party was immortalized in the American mythos, it would be only the first of many protests in America’s history, from the Stonewall riots to the Vietnam War demonstrations, to shape freedoms and politics.

Many companies’ workers have exercised their rights to collectively organize and bargain – a right bestowed to them under the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. Aside from ensuring these rights be available to workers across the United States, the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 also established the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – a government agency designed specifically to enforce employees’ rights and adjudicate their disputes. However, a death sentence may be imposed on almost 90 years of the NLRB’s authority and commitment to workers’ rights have recently come together to raise their swords against the federal agency’s constitutionality.

Chevron U.S.A Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council. Inc. (1984) has been a framework of review applied by the courts toward the practices of administrative agencies for nearly four decades.

Due to the recent border issues between Texas and the federal government, there have been flags with this slogan lining the US-Mexico border. In 2021, Greg Abbott, the Governor of Texas, ordered razor wire to be placed along the US-Mexico border, but recently, these orders have caused chaos and division in the United States.

In the 2024 election year, affordability has climbed its way to the top of American voters’ political priorities. With inflation impacting the prices of everyday goods, coupled with the expiration of COVID-19 era financial relief programs, it is no question that the burden of cost is affecting Americans’ livelihoods, posing a serious threat to housing stability.

Forty years and ten months ago, the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) was created by the U.S. Department of Justice. The immigration courts under the EOIR have the task of adjudicating the cases of detained individuals in the United States facing removal or deportation proceedings and ultimately decide whether or not an individual should be allowed to stay in the United States. Last year, a piece of legislation was introduced to the U.S. House of Representatives and it sought the establishment of U.S immigration courts independent from the Department of Justice.
