The Trump administration was ordered by a federal judge over the weekend to immediately return hundreds of Venezuelan migrants that had been wrongfully deported after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act, but his administration decided to completely ignore the court's order. In fact, they didn't just ignore it, they decided to openly mock it with Steven Cheung saying "Oopsie, too late." This egregious abuse of power is not going to sit well with the court, but their options for punishment could be limited.
Donald Trump has apparently fallen for a string of misinformation coming from The Heritage Foundation (the group that put together Project 2025) and he's now accusing President Biden of using an "auto pen" to sign documents, including his pardons for the January 6th Committee and Dr. Anthony Fauci. Trump has now declared that these pardons are, therefore, null and void, and suggested he may move forward with prosecutions.
A left-leaning politician in France told an audience over the weekend that the United States should return the Statue of Liberty because obviously we don't believe in it anymore. This is the latest in a growing string of anger towards the US coming from our closest allies in Europe, and it shows how badly Donald Trump has harmed those relationships in less than two months in office.
A Trump voter was shocked that ICE detained his wife as they tried to return from their honeymoon in Puerto Rico. The man told USA Today that he is panicked and doesn't know what he can do to help his wife, and said that he didn't know "how" it was "going to go down" with Trump's crackdown on immigrants. But this is EXACTLY what people were warning about before the election, so there really is no excuse.
