The White House has asked a federal circuit court to stay a district court's temporary restraining orderthat blocked President Donald Trump from using the Alien Enemies act to deport noncitizens, including alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Meanwhile, the fallout over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Democrats voting with Republicans to avert a government shutdown continued, with some in Schumer's party calling for new leadership while others defended him, but said the party needed to use new tactics and new messaging.
And Trump signed an executive order on Saturday that rescinded 19 executive actions issued by former President Joe Biden's administration on gender, labor policies and industry regulations, bringing the number of Biden's actions reversed by Trump to nearly 100.
The White House on Thursday pulled President Donald Trump's nomination of Dr. David Weldon to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, multiple sources told ABC News.
The move came moments before Weldon was set to testify before the Senate HELP Committee. The hearing was canceled.
David Weldon, a former Republican congressman tapped to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, will face questions from lawmakers at his confirmation hearing at 10 a.m. ET before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
Weldon, if confirmed, will work closely with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Like Kennedy, Weldon has a history of questioning vaccine safety.
A focus of Thursday's hearing is likely to be the rising number of measles cases across the U.S.
President Donald Trump is scheduled Thursday to welcome NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte to the White House.
The pair are expected to hold an Oval Office meeting, after which they'll have a working lunch.
The meeting comes amid heightened international discussions about European and U.S. defense spending. The president and his allies have often criticized the military alliance, saying that the United States pays more than its fair share.
NATO members agreed in 2006 to commit to defense spending equal to at least 2% of their GDP. Twenty-three of the 32 members hit that target in 2024, according to the Atlantic Council.
Rutte, who took over leadership of the military alliance in October 2024, spoke with Trump in late February, with the pair then agreeing "on the importance of Europe and Canada significantly increasing defense spending and defense industrial capacity," according to a readout from Rutte's office.
Questions about defense spending have since then been ricocheting throughout Europe, in part because the Trump administration has questioned whether it should continue funding Ukraine's fight against Russia's invading army.
European leaders last week held an emergency summit in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss both the bloc's defense spending and security guarantees for Ukraine.

President Donald Trump is expected to visit the Justice Department on Friday, a move that comes as he has sought to assert control over the nation’s top law-enforcement agency that brought two historic, thwarted prosecutions against him.
The rare visit will mark Trump’s first time inside the walls of the Robert F. Kennedy building as president and follows nearly a decade’s worth of conflict that has proven to be the ultimate stress test for the Justice Department’s post-Watergate norms intended to preserve independence from the White House.
Dozens of prosecutors who worked on investigations stemming from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol were fired, as well as DOJ and FBI officials who worked on former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations of Trump.
Trump's visit to DOJ is his first to any government agency since taking office, though it's not without precedent. The last visit by a sitting American president to the building was by former President Barack Obama, who attended a retirement ceremony in 2015 for Eric Holder.
