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And Trump signed an executive order on Saturday that rescinded 19 executive actions issued by former President Joe Biden's administration on gender, labor policies and industry regulations, bringing the number of Biden's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.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was asked about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer twice during a news conference Friday, once if it was time for new leadership in the Senate and another time when he was asked about his confidence in Schumer.
"Next question," Jeffries replied both times.
School closures, emergency services furloughs, and disruptions of metro service are among the crises D.C. officials are now warning of if this temporary government funding measure passes, a city council member told ABC News.
“It would be devastating,” Zachary Parker, Ward 5 Councilmember, said. “It would mean cuts to Metro that services the entire DMV region. It means closing and shuttering schools and programs. It means having to furlough police officers at a time where we're continuing to drive down violent crime in the district.”
The stopgap funding measure House Republicans passed and the Senate will take up Friday doesn’t just avert a shutdown, it strips Washington, D.C., of $1 billion.
Now, D.C. leaders are in the awkward political position of advocating for a government shutdown to protect many of the city’s vital services.
“I'm advocating for Senate Democrats to meet this moment. If that means a shutdown, then that is what we are asking them to do,” Parker said.

Activists, parents and D.C. lawmakers launched an all-out blitz on Capitol Hill Friday, culminating in the arrest of 11 people outside Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s office, Capitol Police confirmed to ABC News. The demonstration was organized by the Sunrise Movement, which called for action in response to Schumer's support of the Trump-Johnson budget.
Sunrise said its protest was following the Senate leader’s announcement Thursday that he's supporting the funding bill. "Schumer staff locked the office doors and young people sat-in outside the office demanding he face the people that his actions will affect for years to come," Sunrise said in a statement.
“This is bigger than politics. It’s about protecting our communities, our democracy, and our planet from corruption and corporate greed. Schumer must fight back—now,” Sunrise Movement Executive Director Aru Shiney Ajay said in a statement.
Capitol Police told ABC News, “At about 9:50 a.m., 11 people were arrested for illegally demonstrating in the Hart Senate Office Building. ... It is against the law to protest inside the Congressional Buildings.”

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who appears to be distancing herself from Leader Chuck Schumer's decision, slams Democrats who support the House GOP bill.
"America has experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way. Listen to the women, For The People," Pelosi said.
Pelosi applauded House Democrats for their near-unanimous vote against the measure.
"I salute Leader Hakeem Jeffries for his courageous rejection of this false choice, and I am proud of my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus for their overwhelming vote against this bill," she said.
