Imagine inviting about a dozen friends to pray in your home and your city telling you to get the government's permission first. That's what happened to Daniel Grand, a devout Orthodox Jew in University Heights, Ohio. When he planned a small prayer meeting at his home, the city ordered him to get a permit, classified his house as a place of religious assembly, and even recruited his neighbors to spy on him and report any violations. To get the permit, Daniel would have to stop living in his home, an impossible choice, abandon his faith or give up his house. Yet, when he filed a lawsuit to exercise his constitutional rights, federal courts told him he needed to complete the permitting process first.

Thousands of Moroccan migrants have surged onto the shores of Spain, prompting a response from the Spanish military as well as Morocco. The viral footage has sparked accusations of an invasion and follows Spain legalizing half a million immigrants just a few months ago.
John Bickley 3:03
Joining us now to discuss is Bev Turner, host of GB News, The Late Show Live. Bev, thanks for coming on.
Bev Turner 3:08
My pleasure. Thank you.
John Bickley 3:10
So we've been tracking the migrant crisis in the UK and Europe with you, and we've mentioned Spain before, but now we have this viral footage that has really shocked people across the globe. What are we witnessing right now in Spain?
Bev Turner 3:25
I mean, if you're shocked here in America, imagine what it feels like in the UK right now. These pictures are extraordinary. We're seeing thousands of Moroccans and North Africans basically going across this little patch of water. It's a Spanish territory. Because it's Spanish-owned, effectively run, it's part of the EU. So because it's part of the EU, when these migrants arrive on the shores there... they have to be treated like asylum seekers, which means they have to be assessed individually. They can't be turned back summarily. And one of the things which has changed, John, in recent times is there's been a Supreme Court ruling in Spain. And these migrants, under the tutelage of people traffickers, have found a loophole in the wording.
Bev Turner 4:10
Because effectively, if you come over a border, a hard border, a ground border, you can be turned almost straight back.
