Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton both took sizable strides toward locking up their respective parties’ nominations on Super Tuesday. Republican establishment chatter centered around what sort of delegate math might yet prevent Trump from being the party’s standard-bearer in November, why he hasn’t put it away just yet--and whether a third-party challenge might be feasible if he triumphs. Grantee America’s Voice publicized exit polls which showed that in many of the states going to the polls Tuesday evening, GOP primary voters regarded immigration as a lower priority than Trump’s rhetoric suggests he does—and more readily support a path to legal status for undocumented persons than deportation.  The idea that Trump could win the presidency in November has helped spur a surge in immigrants crossing the border into the US, apparently operating on the theory that moving to America can only become harder if and when Trump is in the White House.

The Center for American Progress’s ThinkProgress published an article looking at how Trump’s relationship with white nationalists has affected his presidential campaign. The issue has also been dissected by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Hillary Clinton’s wide margins of victory among black and Latino voters, and commanding lead among superdelegates gives her a commanding advantage, meaning the ongoing FBI investigation into her email habits at the State Dept. likely pose a greater threat to her path to the Democratic nomination than Bernie Sanders does. Univision anchor Jorge Ramos reiterated his belief in the importance of immigration and the Latino vote this fall in an interview with the New York Times magazine.

President Obama was reportedly vetting Judge Jane Kelly, an Iowa jurist confirmed just three years ago for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit, as a nominee to fill the late Justice Antonin Scalia’s seat on the U.S. Supreme Court. The pick would elevate pressure on Sen. Charles Grassley, the Judiciary Committee chairman who is also up for re-election in Kelly’s home state this fall.

Roughly 40 tech companies and associations are among the privacy champions slated to file briefs in support of Apple’s refusal to cooperate with the FBI in its bid to unlock an iPhone belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters. Meanwhile House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul’s legislation proposing a commission to look further into digital security has found favor among Apple’s Silicon Valley allies. Grantee the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which backs Apple in the FBI dispute, has been publicizing its rankings of which tech companies do the most to guard your data against government intrusion.

A federal court blocked Indiana Gov. Mike Pence from taking actions to impede the settlement of Syrian refugees in his state, in a lawsuit brought by the ACLU. In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt found that “the state’s conduct clearly constitutes national origin discrimination.” The case is being closely watched because more than half the country’s governors have staked out a similar stance against Syrian refugees. It marks the second win in as many months for the ACLU, which also blocked an effort to restrict refugee resettlement efforts in Texas last month.

In Syria, reports that the delicate ceasefire has been violated multiple times persist, though news organizations have struggled to verify such reports.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said the House would vote on whether to take a position—and file an amicus brief—in US v Texas, the challenge to President Obama’s immigration executive actions now pending before the Supreme Court. Ryan confirmed the move was unprecedented.

A New York state investigation found that a school district on Long Island was just the latest in a string of jurisdictions in the Empire State to be “unlawfully delaying or denying an education to undocumented children,” a New York Times account said.
