When Donald Trump returned to the White House in 2025, one of his first challenges looked all too familiar: China.

A federal judge blocked the recently-passed Texas law that required the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms. Known as SB 10, the judge stated the law “impermissibly takes sides” on issues of religion.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is being blasted for its use of Bible verses in promotional videos. Some critics argue that the DHS’s use of Bible verses borders on blasphemy for its use in justifying deportations, while others accuse it to be a violation of the separation of church and state.
