  • Trump Targets Naturalized US Citizens
    May 12 2026

    Today we're examining an apparent aggressive new tack in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
    The Justice Department has just moved to strip citizenship from 12 naturalized citizens in courts across the country.
    That's compared to an average of about eleven cases per year between 1990 and 2017.
    Immigration advocates have expressed concern that this could lead to the targeting of individuals for minor or honest mistakes, rather than just serious fraud.
    For more, Bloomberg's June Grasso speaks to Leon Fresco, a partner at Holland and Knight and the former head of the office of immigration litigation in the Obama administration.

  • Evolving Money: Stablecoins in Practice and Policy (Sponsored Content)
    May 10 2026

    Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value because they’re pegged to a fiat currency, such as the U.S. dollar. The result is a highly liquid currency with a fixed value. Stablecoins are transacted on crypto rails as opposed to legacy banking systems, meaning they are faster, cheaper, and easier to use.

    Checkout.com, a leading global payments processor, is putting stablecoins into practice. They are upgrading their platform so that customers and merchants can use stablecoins in everyday transactions. Meanwhile, Coinbase is working with multiple levels of government to make sure that both legislation and regulations are in place to allow companies to use stablecoins with confidence.
