Judges in two federal cases cite due process to block Trump immigration moves
SUMMARY: Over Labor Day weekend, two federal judges in Washington, D.C., blocked aggressive Trump administration immigration actions. Judge Sparkle Sooknanan halted deportation flights carrying 10 unaccompanied Guatemalan children, citing due process concerns. These children, aged 10 to 17, had pending immigration cases and feared returning home. Earlier, Judge Jia Cobb struck down a policy expanding expedited removal nationwide, which fast-tracks deportations without judicial review, ruling it likely violated constitutional rights. The Trump administration aimed to deport up to 600 Guatemalan minors under a pilot program. Both judges, appointed by President Biden, emphasized protecting immigrants’ due process rights amid the administration’s crackdown.

Buy Now, Pay Later starting to affect credit in new ways
SUMMARY: Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, allowing purchases paid over four installments often without interest, are increasingly impacting credit scores and traditional lending. About 23% of Americans used BNPL last year, but many are unaware of its credit effects. Previously, BNPL repayments weren’t reported to credit bureaus, so timely payments didn’t boost credit, while missed payments could harm credit if sent to collections. Recently, major BNPL lenders began reporting to Experian and TransUnion, and FICO will include BNPL data in new credit score models starting this fall. However, credit score improvements may be modest, and some lenders remain cautious about BNPL users.

How school bus drivers and police use AI to stop vehicle violations
SUMMARY: As the school year begins, Bus Patrol uses AI-powered cameras on over 40,000 school buses across 22 states to catch drivers illegally passing stopped buses, endangering children. In Pennsylvania’s Lower Merion School District, all 135 buses are equipped with these cameras, which activate when the stop arm extends. Drivers frequently ignore the stop sign, with violations occurring multiple times daily. Recorded violations are reviewed by police, leading to fines up to $300 for first offenses. Since installation, nearby districts have issued thousands of tickets. The system enhances enforcement, aiming to protect children by encouraging drivers to stop safely at school buses.
