Journalists used it as shorthand for the incredibly difficult task Harris was given of addressing the &ldquo;root causes&rdquo; of the massive surge in migration from South American countries to the U.S. southern border.

Under the Trump rules, a standard known as &lsquo;clear and convincing&rsquo; was used, meaning the evidence would have to be strong enough to remove any serious doubts about the legitimacy of the allegations,&rdquo; Breccan wrote. &ldquo;Under the Biden administration&rsquo;s &lsquo;preponderance of the evidence&rsquo; standard, the evidence must present as more likely than not that the allegation occurred &mdash; sometimes compared to an above 50% chance.

Following President Joe Biden&#8217;s recognition that he could not defeat former President Donald Trump and his decision to name Harris as his successor, one of the first things to disappear was any reference to her position as the &#8220;border czar.&#8221; This title was never official; it was used by journalists to describe the challenging task assigned to Harris of tackling the &#8220;root causes&#8221; behind a significant increase in migration from South America to the U.S. southern border. On his first day in office, Biden reversed several Trump-era policies, including modifications to the popular &#8220;Remain in Mexico&#8221; program that required migrants seeking asylum to do so in countries they passed through before reaching America.<\/p>\n<p>In recent weeks, a major public relations effort has unfolded, with media outlets removing references that labeled Harris as &#8220;border czar,&#8221; claiming she never had direct responsibility for border issues but rather focused on diplomatic efforts. This shift is part of a Republican campaign aimed at shaping voters&#8217; perceptions of Harris with less than 100 days until Election Day. In part four of a series by Washington Examiner exploring how candidates are defining Harris, Immigration Reporter Anna Giaritelli examined her record on border issues.<\/p>\n<p>Despite debates over what responsibilities she held regarding border management over nearly four years, it&#8217;s evident that she has navigated numerous complex situations. Trump&#8217;s campaign recently launched an ad highlighting what they characterize as failures in Harris&#8217;s handling of border issues while portraying her as \u201cfailed, weak, and dangerously liberal.\u201d With supportive media coverage and backing from Democrats like those within Congress\u2019s Democratic Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Harris may have more freedom now to discuss other initiatives related to immigration while allowing discussions about her \u201cczar\u201d title fade into background noise.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ariel G. Ruiz Soto from Migration Policy Institute: \u201cHer focus has been on immigration within U.S. borders&#8230; She\u2019s worked extensively on improving access for immigrants regarding services like healthcare.\u201d Addressing how migrants impact economic conditions and healthcare systems presents its own challenges compared with discussing control over illegal immigration trends; however, it offers an opportunity for shifting narratives toward topics where she might feel more comfortable engaging.<\/p>\n<p>Harris aims at reframing discussions around migrants who have already entered society rather than focusing solely on past hardline stances\u2014an approach intended both for future-oriented campaigning while also addressing previous statements advocating decriminalization of unauthorized crossings or abolishing ICE altogether.<\/p>\n<p>As California Attorney General back in 2015 stated: \u201cAn undocumented immigrant is not a criminal,\u201d emphasizing distinctions between undocumented status versus criminal behavior\u2014a sentiment reiterated during interviews where she reflected upon prosecutorial experiences across various offenses.<\/p>\n<p>**Supreme Court Skepticism**<br \/>\nThe White House expresses strong confidence that President Biden\u2019s proposals for reforming the Supreme Court resonate positively among voters; Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed earlier this week that many citizens support such reforms due largely due declining trust following Roe v Wade overturns\u2014\u201cWhat we\u2019re witnessing isn\u2019t normal,\u201d Jean-Pierre asserted Tuesday adding majority agreement exists among Americans concerning this view.<\/p>\n<p>However evidence suggests otherwise; Supreme Court Reporter Kaelan Deese analyzed polling data indicating discontent primarily stems from disillusioned Democrats rather than reflecting broader consensus across independents or Republicans alike\u2014\u201cBiden\u2019s assertions linking crisis-level confidence necessitating sweeping reforms are contradicted by new polling showing dissatisfaction mainly rooted among Democratic respondents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While announcing intentions towards court overhaul plans long sought after by party members without explicitly endorsing controversial court-packing strategies historically unpopular (as seen during FDR), he proposed constitutional amendments targeting presidential immunity decisions alongside enforceable ethics codes plus term limits set at 18 years\u2014all facing uncertain prospects amid divided congressional landscape fueled predominantly by frustrated Democrats eager confrontations against Republican-appointed justices\u2019 majority rule dynamics observed today.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Turley noted responses towards these proposed \u2018reforms\u2019 appear muted suggesting little enthusiasm exists beyond partisan lines echoing sentiments akin \u2018one hand clapping.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>**Title IX Concerns**<br \/>\nAmidst controversies surrounding educational policies under Trump administration which garnered praise particularly directed towards then-Secretary Betsy DeVos\u2019 efforts enhancing protections against sexual assault cases occurring within college environments\u2014a notable shift occurred post-2011 when Title IX regulations altered due process rights favorably skewed toward victims leading critics labeling proceedings akin \u2018kangaroo courts\u2019 resulting unjust consequences impacting innocent students adversely tarnishing reputations unjustly thereafter\u2014<\/p>\n<p>Biden administration rolled back these changes raising alarms amongst legal experts warning potential repercussions stemming reinstatement practices reminiscent prior eras could yield detrimental outcomes instead benefiting neither parties involved effectively navigating allegations brought forth henceforth moving forward into new
