https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...urth-immigrant-court-order-violation-00378173 excerpt: The Trump administration has admitted that it improperly deported another immigrant in violation of a court order — the fourth known case in which the administration deported someone erroneously or in breach of specific legal requirements.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...urth-immigrant-court-order-violation-00378173 excerpt: "The episode is reminiscent of three other deportations that courts have declared illegal or improper in recent months: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man who was deported to El Salvador in violation of an immigration judge’s order. Daniel Lozano-Camargo, a Venezuelan man who was deported to El Salvador in violation of a court-approved settlement. A Guatemalan man, identified in court by the initials O.C.G., who was deported to Mexico in what the administration now acknowledges was an error because he was not given a chance to exercise his legal right to raise fears that he would be tortured there."
Trump orders investigation of Biden. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/04/us/politics/trump-biden-investigation.html excerpt: "In an executive order, Mr. Trump put the power and resources of the federal government to work examining whether some of Mr. Biden’s presidential actions were legally invalid because his aides had enacted those policies without his knowledge. The executive order came after Mr. Trump shared a social media post over the weekend that claimed Mr. Biden had been “executed in 2020” and replaced by a robotic clone, following a pattern of suggestions by the president and his allies that Mr. Biden was a mentally incapacitated puppet of his aides."

Trump signs proclamation to restrict foreign student visas at Harvard excerpt: In an executive order signed on Wednesday, Trump declared that it would jeopardize national security to allow Harvard to continue hosting foreign students on its campus. “I have determined that the entry of the class of foreign nationals described above is detrimental to the interests of the United States because, in my judgment, Harvard’s conduct has rendered it an unsuitable destination for foreign students and researchers,” Trump wrote in the order.
Judge on warpath presses Trump DOJ on Abrego Garcia deportation, answers leave courtroom in stunned silence excerpt: "He was lawfully detained? No he wasn’t!" Judge Xinis objected. "There was no order of removal, there was no warrant for removal – there was nothing." She cut off Justice Department attorney Jonathan Guynn again when he attempted to continue with a different argument. "You didn’t even respond to what I just said," she told him. "A DHS attorney came in at the first hearing and confirmed that there was no lawful basis to arrest Abrego Garcia." "Why are we skipping over that – as part of the misconduct at issue, in light of the pattern I'm currently faced with on this day?" she asked, in disbelief. For at least 30 seconds, the courtroom fell completely silent.
Federal judge delivers one-two punch to Trump in Abrego Garcia case excerpt: "Separately on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis granted a request from Abrego Garcia's legal team to file a motion for sanctions against the Trump administration. That filing is due June 11, she said in an order. The one-two punch from Xinis could give plaintiffs new ammo to pursue more formal punishments against the Trump administration if officials are found to have been acting in bad faith or knowingly defying court orders. It will also give new access to media outlets covering the case. Xinis agreed to grant in part a request from a group of 14 major media outlets and publishers – including Fox News, NBC News, CBS News, New York Times, the Washington Post and NPR – who filed a motion to unseal records in the Abrego Garcia case, citing concerns over the lack of public access, as well as over government efforts, or lack thereof, to facilitate his return to the U.S."
https://www.npr.org/2025/06/04/nx-s1-5422248/trump-steel-aluminum-50-tariffs-double-prices excerpt: "How is it that you're supposed to buy the most expensive steel in world in the United States, and compete with global competitors who have access to world market pricing," asked H.O. Woltz, who runs a company in Mount Airy, N.C. that twists steel wire into cables used to reinforce concrete. During the first Trump administration, Woltz's company was doubly squeezed — paying more for raw steel while competing with finished products from other countries that didn't face a tariff. This time around, the Trump administration is taxing some of those finished products as well. Still, Woltz worries the higher cost of building materials might put some construction projects on hold.

Trump's Gestapo. Trump is taking resources away from other law enforcement areas to go after immigrants. A sweeping new ICE operation shows how Trump's focus on immigration is reshaping federal law enforcement excerpt: "Reorganizing federal law enforcement to prioritize immigration could have sweeping long-term effects on the U.S. justice system. The Trump administration set early quotas for immigration arrests and has marshaled resources to go far beyond early statements about focusing only on deporting violent criminals, as well as invoking laws that have not previously been used for immigration enforcement, like the Alien Enemies Act."
A sweeping new ICE operation shows how Trump's focus on immigration is reshaping federal law enforcement excerpt: "The plan calls for using 3,000 ICE agents, including 1,800 from Homeland Security Investigations, which generally investigates transnational crimes and is not typically involved in arresting noncriminal immigrants; 2,000 Justice Department employees from the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and the Drug Enforcement Administration; and 500 employees from Customs and Border Protection. It also includes 250 IRS agents, some of whom may be used to provide information on the whereabouts of immigrants using tax information, while others would have the authority to make arrests, according to the operation plan."

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/04/metro/columbia-accreditation-harvard-trump/ excerpt: "Wood and other conservative higher education leaders say accreditors are part of the problem due to what they characterize as the agencies’ commitment to progressive ideals, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion. Trump officials and allies have said they would co-opt accreditors to advance their own priorities. Wood, who is generally supportive of Trump’s higher education priorities, viewed the accreditation threat as a negotiating tactic. “This is an opening move meant to bring the other side to the negotiating table,” or apply additional pressure, he said. It’s likely to result in “some kind of settlement short of losing accreditation, but it’s a good chess move on the part of the administration,” he said."
