Divided Supreme Court allows Trump to restart swift deportation of migrants away from their home countries (LINK) 23 June 2025

— The high court majority did not detail its reasoning in the brief order. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by the other two liberal justices, issued a scathing dissent.

They had been convicted of serious crimes in the U.S., and immigration officials said they were unable to return them quickly to their home countries.

— The vast majority of the job cuts, intended to be a permanent reduction in the size of the workforce, affects Voice of America, the government-owned international network that has beamed news reports to countries under autocratic regimes since World War II. In a press release, Lake called her action "part of a long-overdue effort to dismantle a bloated, unaccountable bureaucracy." She said 85% of jobs, or 1,400 positions, had been eliminated in total, in keeping with an executive order in mid-March from President Trump.

U.S. appeals court lets Trump keep control of National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles (LINK) 19 June 2025

— The decision halts a ruling from a lower court judge who found Trump acted illegally when he activated the soldiers over opposition from California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The deployment was the first by a president of a state National Guard without the governor's permission since 1965.

Protesters also damaged federal buildings and caused the closure of at least one federal building. And a federal van was attacked by protesters who smashed in the van's windows," the court wrote. "The federal government's interest in preventing incidents like these is significant."

Kilmar Ábrego García pleads not guilty in human trafficking case (LINK) 13 June 2025

— He first entered the US illegally in 2011 and was granted protection from deportation by an immigration judge in 2019 because it was determined he might face danger from gangs if returned to his native El Salvador. However in March 2025 the Maryland resident was deported and initially held in El Salvador's Cecot mega-prison, in what Trump administration officials later admitted was a mistake. A judge ordered ordered the government to "facilitate" his return, however White House officials initially refused to bring him back. The trafficking charges, which date back to 2016, allege he transported undocumented individuals between Texas and his home in Maryland and other states more than 100 times. Even if he is allowed to be released before his trial, he is not likely to be immediately freed, as prosecutors could appeal and seek to have him detained on immigration grounds.
