A 37-year-old Buffalo firefighter died while fighting a four-alarm blaze on Main Street downtown that may have been sparked by work being done on the structure with blowtorches and appeared to cause a phenomenon known as a backdraft.
The firefighter’s identity was not released.
Videos of the fireball that occurred from the apparent backdraft have circulated in social media. The firefighter who died was caught in a partial building collapse and trapped about 30 to 40 feet inside, Renaldo said. The rest of the firefighters had to evacuate the building.
The U.S. launched strikes against Iran, accusing the country of a "clear violation" of a ceasefire agreement after ships were targeted in the Strait of Hormuz.
Less than an hour after the Supreme Court dealt the Trump administration a devastating blow by rejecting its attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship, President Donald Trump began plotting a legislative workaround.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process.”
He urged Congress to "start TODAY" on ending birthright citizenship, pledging his "Complete and Total Support."
Birthright citizenship, enshrined in the 14th Amendment, grants full U.S. citizenship to all people born in the United States or its territories regardless of parental citizenship status.
Trump, supported by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, has long targeted birthright citizenship as part of his immigration crackdown agenda, according to Bulwark Media.
Trump has repeatedly and falsely claimed the U.S. is the only country with such rights, despite dozens of nations, including Canada and Mexico, having identical protections, according to The Washington Post.
