Trump admin live updates: Trump pardons former entertainment exec indicted by own DOJ

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth put out a statement Monday night on his personal X account backing Adm. Mitch Bradley, the head of the United States Special Operations Command, who the White House claims ordered a second controversial strike on an alleged boat in September.

"Let’s make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100% support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made — on the September 2 mission and all others since," Hegseth said in his post.

One person familiar with details of the incident confirmed to ABC News that there were survivors from the initial strike on the boat and that those survivors were killed in subsequent strikes.

While Americans were enjoying their Thanksgiving holiday, wholesale giant Costco filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for a "full refund" for the tariffs the company paid.

"This separate action is necessary, however, because even if the [International Emergency Economic Powers Act] duties and underlying executive orders are held unlawful by the Supreme Court, importers that have paid IEEPA duties, including Plaintiff, are not guaranteed a refund for those unlawfully collected tariffs in the absence of their own judgment and judicial relief," the lawsuit filed in the Court of International Trade on Friday said.

While most lawsuits against the tariffs come from small businesses, Costco is seeking a refund for the tariff payments they incurred. Congress, not the president, has the power to impose tariffs, the lawsuit said.

The Court of International Trade "have agreed the IEEPA duties are not authorized," the lawsuit said.

This lawsuit is identical to other suits filed by American companies challenging the legality of Trump's IEEPA tariffs -- including one currently pending a decision at the U.S. Supreme Court.

President Donald Trump is scheduled on Tuesday to host a Cabinet meeting at 11:30 a.m. ET, according to the White House.

The president is then scheduled at 2 p.m. ET to make an announcement in the Roosevelt Room at the White House, according to his official schedule.

During a White House press briefing on Monday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that announcement would be about the president's initiative to create "Trump accounts" that would "give the next generation of Americans a jumpstart on savings."

"It will be a very exciting announcement indeed, especially for all of the parents across the country, with young children and babies," Leavitt said.

The Trump administration fired eight immigration judges on Monday, according to an official with the National Association of Immigration Judges.

The judges who were dismissed worked at 26 Federal Plaza.

Earlier on Monday, an immigration judge who was fired by the Trump administration in February filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice, alleging she is a victim of discrimination.

More than 100 immigration judges have been fired, resigned through the Department of Government Efficiency's "Fork in the Road" offer, or transferred out of immigration adjudication, according to the union.

The latest firings come as the Department of Homeland Security is actively hiring "deportation judges."

In a post on X last week, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said the jobs offer potential full-time remote work with salaries ranging from $159,951 to $207,500.

Immigrant advocates have called out the Trump administration for dismissing immigration judges who have experience in immigration law.

There is also a backlog of more than 3.7 million immigration cases.
