DHS says undocumented immigrants could be shackled with GPS monitors

Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, confirmed a report by the Washington Post that ICE ordered staff to place ankle monitors on all people enrolled in the agency's Alternatives to Detention program "whenever possible."

McLaughlin reposted the Post reporter's X post about the article with a stock photo of an ankle monitor.

"If you are in America illegally, you may be 'shackled' with a GPS ankle monitor. If you don't want to wear one, you should leave the country now through the @CBP Home app!" she posted on X.

Trump denies wanting to cut subsidies for Elon Musk

President Donald Trump is denying claims that he intends to harm Elon Musk's companies by removing government subsidies.

"Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon's companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large-scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government. This is not so!" Trump wrote in a post to his conservative social media platform.

Trump expressed his support for Musk and all U.S. businesses, highlighting his administration's achievements.

"I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!" he continued.

Trump previously threatened Musk's government contracts during their public feud in June. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday was asked if Trump supported federal agencies contracting with Musk's AI company. Leavitt responded, "I don't think so, no" and said she would speak to the president about it.

Trump to visit Federal Reserve amid criticism of Powell over renovation project

President Donald Trump on Thursday is making what could be seen as a hostile visit to the Federal Reserve headquarters, as he increases his pressure on Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

The president has hammered Powell for months on social media and in public comments because Powell has not lowered interest rates. More recently, Trump has threatened to fire Powell over his handling of a massive renovation project at the Fed.

It is incredibly rare for a sitting president to visit the central bank given its historic independence. George W. Bush was the last president to visit in 2006 for then-Fed Chair Ben Bernanke’s swearing-in ceremony. During his remarks that day, Bernanke said only two others had ever visited the building - Gerald Ford in 1975 and Franklin Roosevelt in 1937.

Appeals Court rules against Trump admin's birthright citizenship EO

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, upheld a lower court ruling that President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship is very likely unconstitutional on its face and that a nationwide injunction precluding enforcement is the only way to provide complete relief to the state plaintiffs, pending litigation.

The states had brought the suit alleging that they would suffer irreparable harm from a redefinition of citizenship, including reduced population count for purposes of federal funding.

A federal judge in a separate case has already enjoined nationwide enforcement of the order against a certified class of individuals affected by the presidential action -- all newborns in the U.S. to noncitizens.

Practically speaking, the two decisions ensure Trump's redefinition of citizenship will not take effect on July 27 as litigation over the merits of the order continues.

The government is likely to appeal this decision back to the high court.
