Federal judge James Boasberg has criticized the Trump administration for its "incredibly troublesome" use of a centuries-old wartime law to deport people to El Salvador.
Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport more than 200 Venezuelans, who he claimed were members of gang Tren de Aragua, last Saturday.
In a hearing on Friday, Boasberg, said, "I agree the policy ramifications of this are incredibly troublesome and problematic and concerning, and I agree it's an unprecedented and expanded use of an act that has been used ... in the War of 1812, World War I and World War II, when there was no question there was a declaration of war and who the enemy was."
What to know
- Boasberg is trying to determine if the government violated his order to halt deportations and turn the planes around, when three flights carrying deportees flew from the U.S. to El Salvador on Saturday.
- He has repeatedly set deadlines for the DOJ to answer his questions regarding the flights, but the attorneys have been reluctant to do so. They have told the court that the government is deciding whether to use the state secrets act to prevent them having to answer the judge's questions.
- During today's hearing, he said the government was "not being terribly cooperative" but he pledged to "get to the bottom of whether they violated my word and who ordered this and what's the consequence," he said.
- He also accused DOJ attorney's of using "the kind of intemperate and disrespectful language I'm not used to hearing from the United States" in their filings.
- Trump has attacked Boasberg repeatedly on his challenge to the administration, calling him "radical left," a "grandstander," and claiming in a recent social media post that the judge is "doing everything in his power to usurp the Power of the Presidency."

Trump enroute to New Jersey golf club for first time since inauguration
President Trump is on his way to his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club for first time since his inauguration in January.
He has spent most of his weeks at the White House, and his weekends in his Florida home of Mar-a-Lago since taking office.
He told reporters he's hearing to the golf club for work but would be attending the NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia this weekend.
"I've always supported the wrestlers," Trump said.
Columbia University agrees to sweeping policy changes
Columbia University has agreed to implement a sweeping policy changes after the Trump administration threatened to pull its federal funding unless its complied with the president's executive orders.
It also comes after graduate Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and is facing deportation for his involvement in student protests.
The school has agreed to change its rules for student protests and has announced it is conducting an immediate review of its Middle Eastern studies department.
In a letter, the university's interim president vowed to appoint a senior vice provost to review the Middle East studies department and to ban the wearing of face masks on campus
List of companies pledging to invest billions in US since Donald Trump win
New multi-billion-dollar investments in the United States have been announced, helping to fulfill President Donald Trump's campaign promises, but they still aren't stopping worries about a recession.
Trump ran for a second term by espousing pro-American business sensibilities on the campaign trail as part of the second rendition of his "Make America Great Again" endeavors.
More recently, that has equated to a slew of tariffs against longtime American allies Canada, Mexico and countries within the European Union. Canada and the EU responded to 25 percent tariffs with 20 percent tariffs of their own against the United States. The U.S. levied 25 percent taxes on China.
On March 12, the U.S.—which buys more steel than any other nation—imposed 25 percent tariffs on all U.S. steel and aluminum imports. The U.S. Department of Commerce lists Canada, Brazil, and Mexico as the country's biggest suppliers.
Democrat lawmakers demand answers about Musk's Pentagon meeting
Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Tammy Duckworth are demanding answers about Elon Musk's trip to the Pentagon on Friday, in a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
"Did the Pentagon today provide Mr. Musk with a top-secret briefing today on U.S. war plans for China?" the Democratic senators asked in the letter, obtained by NBC News.
"Mr. Musk arrived at the Pentagon earlier today. But it remains unclear exactly what information he received, and whether you or other Pentagon officials modified plans for him to receive top-secret information 'on the U.S. military's plan for any war that might break out with China,'" they continued.
The New York Times reported yesterday that Musk had been invited for a briefing on the U.S.'s plans for a potential war with China.
President Trump denied those claims during an Oval Office press conference today, claiming he wouldn't have allowed the briefing because Musk has businesses in China and said he could be "susceptible" to that.
Both Trump and Hegseth claim Musk came to the Pentagon to discuss DOGE.
Social Security head threatens to close agency over DOGE ruling
Acting head of Social Security, Leland Dudek, is threatening to close down the vital agency after a ruling blocking Elon Musk's cost-cutting team DOGE from accessing to sensitive taxpayer data.
Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander issued a two-week temporary restraining order Thursday banning Social Security officials from sharing personally identifiable information, calling DOGE's efforts "essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion."
Dudek, who is consulting with agency lawyers and the Justice Department, complained on Friday that all the data at the agency was personally identifiable information and claimed that Hollander's ruling was "overly broad."
"Unless I get clarification, I'll just start to shut it down. I don't have much of a choice here," he said.
ICE detains 18 people showing up for scheduled immigration appointments
Cubans attending immigration appointments in Florida are reportedly being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.
At least 18 individuals have been taken into custody, the Miami Herald reported, despite previously being given somewhat special protections from removal proceedings.
"The administration is taking a take-no-prisoners approach to immigration enforcement where every person who could conceivably be deported is a priority," Mark Prada, an immigration attorney in Miami, told Newsweek Friday. "Whether you are undocumented, have a process pending for legal status, or pending an immigration court hearing, DHS has always had the authority to arrest and detain if one does not have a valid, unexpired legal status."
The shift is coming as a shock to a community that showed widespread support for President Donald Trump, who campaigned on a message of mass deportations of illegal immigrants, in particular those with known criminal histories.
What Elon Musk has said about China—Billionaire's business ties to US rival
Elon Musk's ties to China have come under scrutiny during his tenure working in President Donald Trump's administration.
Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is an influential player in Trump's second presidency who could shape U.S. policy on a variety of issues including foreign policy. Critics say, however, that his business interests as the CEO of Tesla could pose a conflict of interest for the American public.
Musk's views on China drew attention this week after The New York Times reported that he would receive a briefing about highly sensitive American military plans for any potential war with China. Musk, however, has denied that report.
"The New York Times is pure propaganda," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "Also, I look forward to the prosecutions of those at the Pentagon who are leaking maliciously false information to NYT. They will be found."
Musk, who continues to serve as the CEO of Tesla, does have business in China, which is the second-largest market for the company. Tesla sales in China rose 8.8 percent in 2024. The company also opened a factory in Shanghai in 2019, which The Wall Street Journal reported to be the company's largest factory in the world.
ACLU says several people deported to El Salvador were returned
Lee Gelernt, an ACLU lawyer, told Judge Boasberg that several of the people deported last weekend have been returned from El Salvador.
The El Salvadoran government refused to accept several of the people on the flights because they either weren't Venezuelan or were women, according to Politico.
US bars former Argentine leaders from entering over corruption ties
The United States has imposed a travel ban on former Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, her planning minister Julio Miguel De Vido, and their families, citing their involvement in significant corruption during their time in office. The U.S. State Department accused Kirchner and De Vido of abusing their positions to orchestrate and financially benefit from multiple bribery schemes related to public works contracts, resulting in millions of dollars being stolen from the Argentine government.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that both individuals had been convicted in multiple courts on corruption charges. He emphasized that the U.S. will continue to hold individuals accountable for abusing public power for personal gain. This move reaffirms the U.S.'s commitment to fighting global corruption, even at the highest levels of government.
Trump administration fires civil rights branch of DHS, shuts down oversight offices
The Trump administration took drastic action on Friday by firing nearly the entire civil rights division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effectively dismantling an office that oversaw the president's immigration policies, The New York Times reported. More than 100 staff members were told they would be placed on leave and officially fired in May, according to current and former officials.
In addition, the administration closed the ombudsman for Citizenship and Immigration Services, another office responsible for scrutinizing legal immigration policies. These moves align with Trump's broader efforts to eliminate oversight mechanisms and civil rights protections across government agencies.
The closure of DHS's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties is particularly significant, as the office has played a key role in monitoring immigration policies, such as investigating the controversial "Remain in Mexico" program. Critics argue that these actions represent an attack on civil liberties, with Deborah Fleischaker, a former DHS official, calling it a "clear message" that civil rights are not a priority for the administration.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin defended the decision, stating that the move was meant to streamline oversight and remove perceived roadblocks to immigration enforcement. She argued the offices had hindered operations by adding bureaucratic obstacles.

Judge Boasberg slams DOJ attorney's language in deportation flights hearing
Federal judge James Boasberg has criticized attorneys from the Department of Justice for using "the kind of intemperate and disrespectful language I'm not used to hearing from the United States" in their filings.
Boasberg is presiding over the case involving the deportation flights which left for El Salvador last weekend, despite his court order.
The judge is trying to determine whether the Trump administration violated his order to stop the deportations and turn the planes back around.
He has repeatedly set deadlines for the DOJ to answer his questions regarding the flights, but the attorneys have been reluctant to do so. They have told the court that the government is deciding whether to use the state secrets act to prevent them having to answer the judge's questions.
DOJ files motion to disqualify judge from court challenge to Perkins Coie executive order
The Department of Justice have filed a motion to remove Judge Beryl Howell, who serves on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, from the court challenge to Trump's executive order on Perkins Coie.
Last week, Howell temporarily blocked an order to remove security credentials from law firm Perkins Coie, which worked with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign in 2016.
In a motion filed today, the DOJ claimed that Howell was not impartial because she had been critical of the Trump administration previously, and not attempted to block the investigation into Trump by former special counsel Jack Smith.
"Fair proceedings free from any suggestion of impartiality are essential to the integrity of our country's judiciary and the need to curtail ongoing improper encroachments of President Trump's Executive Power playing out across the country," the DOJ said in its motion.
"In this case, reasonable observers maywell view this Court as insufficiently impartial to adjudicate the meritless challenges to President Trump's efforts to implement the agenda that the American people elected him to carry out. In fact, this Court has repeatedly demonstrated partiality against and animus towards the President."
Trump administration considers economic aid for farmers affected by tariffs
The Trump administration is exploring the possibility of offering economic aid to farmers who may face hardship due to the president's upcoming global tariffs, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told reporters on Friday.
If implemented, the aid could resemble the multibillion-dollar bailout introduced during Trump's first term in response to the trade war with China, which impacted U.S. agricultural exports.
The tariffs, set to take effect on April 2, target countries accused of imposing unfair trade barriers against U.S. goods, raising concerns about economic slowdown and rising prices. While the White House has kept details vague, Rollins emphasized that the administration is working on programs to support farmers through potential economic challenges. Direct payments to producers could be a part of these efforts.
NEW: Trump administration weighs economic aid for farmers affected by tariffs, recalling his first term, when the president offed a generous, multibillion dollar bailout to offset his trade war. Link below.

Common Cause criticizes Schumer for supporting Republican funding plan
Common Cause is taking aim at Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer over his support for a Republican funding plan, accusing him of prioritizing avoiding a government shutdown over standing firm on Democratic principles.
The democracy and voting advocacy group placed a billboard in New York City that reads, "Chuck just sold us out." Last week, its members made more than 18,000 calls to congressional offices urging opposition to the bill.
Schumer, who described the funding bill as "terrible," has faced criticism from the left for allowing it to pass, though he argued that a shutdown would grant President Trump even more power.
DOJ tries to get Donald Trump out of one of his last legal problems
The Department of Justice is attempting to remove President Donald Trump as the defendant in a civil lawsuit related to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol building.
The Supreme Court decided last year that former and sitting presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution related to official acts they made while in office. Following the decision, the Justice Department dropped charges against Trump, including ones related to the riot at the Capitol building.
Despite the criminal prosecution coming to an end, Trump still faces civil lawsuits related to the events of January 6. The Justice Department is arguing that the president also has immunity from civil lawsuits, and the U.S. government should be the defendant in these cases instead.
Attorneys representing the U.S. government filed a notice of substitution in a January 6 lawsuit on Thursday. The lawsuit, brought by U.S. Capitol Police officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby in 2021, alleges that Trump's actions caused them to suffer physical and emotional injuries.
Crenshaw says veterans doing good work should keep their jobs
Rep. Dan Crenshaw told constituents at a town hall Friday that he would fight to restore jobs for veterans laid off amid federal job cuts, but acknowledged that not all positions should be preserved.
"Just because you're a veteran doesn't mean you're good at it," said Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL. "But if you're doing a job that we need you to do, and you're doing it well, we've got to fight for you."
The comments come as the Department of Veterans Affairs plans to cut over 80,000 jobs, according to an internal memo obtained by The Associated Press.
Elon Musk X posts March 21: What SpaceX owner has said in past 24 hours
Elon Musk is the most followed person on X, formerly known as Twitter, as well as being the site's owner, and he is also one of the site's most prolific users, often posting dozens of times a day, or sharing other people's posts. Here's what he has said in the last 24 hours:
In the last day, Musk has posted or reposted 59 times, with the majority of his posts being about news clips from Fox News and the President Donald Trump's executive order to shut down the Department of Education, which was signed on Thursday.
Musk's posts have been a combination of news about the Trump administration, updates on protests against Tesla and the vehicles it manufactures, and podcast clips about himself and Trump.
Musk also shared several graphics promoting Grok, the AI feature run through X, calling on followers to "just Grok it."
Trump considers lifting sanctions to sell fighter jets to Turkey
President Donald Trump is considering lifting sanctions and resuming the sale of fighter jets to Turkey following a recent conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Trump expressed interest in finalizing the sale of F-16 jets and indicated he may be open to including the advanced F-35 jets if Turkey renders its Russian S-400 missile system inoperable, according to sources.
Potential solutions include disassembling the S-400 machinery or moving it to a U.S.-controlled base in Turkey. Congress had approved a $23 billion deal last year to sell 40 F-16s and modernization kits for Turkey's existing fleet, though negotiations with Lockheed Martin are ongoing.
Turkey was removed from the F-35 program in 2019 after acquiring Russia's S-400 system, which raised concerns about exposing sensitive U.S. military technology to Russian intelligence. Trump's team is reviewing legal and technical options to avoid violations of U.S. sanctions under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
While resuming F-35 sales would be controversial and raise concerns among U.S. allies like Israel and Greece, experts warn that isolating Turkey could push the country toward Russia and China for weapons supplies.
Trump says reciprocal tariffs may include exceptions
Trump suggested Friday that the reciprocal tariffs set for April 2 may not be finalized, indicating that some exceptions could be possible.
"The word flexibility is an important word," Trump told reporters from the Oval Office. "There'll be flexibility," he added, without specifying what that might entail.
Trump referenced previous requests from major U.S. automakers for an exemption from the 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian goods that were set to take effect earlier this month. In response, he exempted cars and car parts that comply with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).
"I gave the American car companies a break because it would have been unfair if I didn't," Trump said. He added that all products from Mexico and Canada meeting USMCA standards would receive the same treatment through April 2.
Trump defends actions targeting law firms, calls them 'sophisticated'
Trump defended his recent executive orders targeting top law firms that have clashed with him and his administration. Speaking from the Oval Office on Friday, Trump dismissed concerns that his actions amounted to coercion, insisting that the firms "did bad things" and emphasizing that they are "very sophisticated people."
"The law firms all want to make deals," Trump said. "Are those the law firms you're talking about? They're not babies. They're very sophisticated people."
On Thursday, Trump announced that he had rescinded an executive order suspending security clearances for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison after the firm agreed to provide $40 million in pro bono legal services to support his administration's initiatives.
The agreement with Paul Weiss comes as Trump continues cracking down on large corporate firms. Earlier, he signed executive orders targeting Covington & Burling and Perkins Coie.

Trump signals 'flexibility' on April 2 tariffs
Donald Trump has suggested there will be some flexibility when it comes to the "reciprocal" tariffs he is imposing on global trading partners on April 2.
"People are coming to me and talking about tariffs, and a lot of people are asking me if they could have exceptions. And once you do that for one, you have to do that for all," Trump said at the White House Friday.
"The word flexibility is an important word. Sometimes there's flexibility, so there'll be flexibility."
It was not clear if that flexibility also related to the 25% tariffs which will resume on Canada and Mexico.
New poll shows boost in Donald Trump approval rating
President Donald Trump has received a boost in his approval ratings, with recent polls showing positive shifts in public perception.
Trump's approval rating is a key indicator of his political strength as he navigates his second presidential term and prepares for future policy battles.
A shift in his numbers could influence support from Republican lawmakers, affect his ability to push through his agenda and shape the political landscape heading into the midterm election cycle.
Rasmussen's daily poll tracker shows that Trump's approval rating has increased by 1 point since yesterday, from 50 percent to 51 percent. Meanwhile, his disapproval rating has decreased by 1 point, from 48 to 47 percent. That gives him a net approval rating of +4 points.
That is in line with Newsweek's tracker, which today shows that Trump's approval rating stands at 49 percent, while his disapproval also stands at 49 percent. That means that the president's approval rating has increased by 1 point since yesterday, but his disapproval rating has remained the same.
Trump promises to pay stranded astronauts overtime 'from his own pocket'
NASA astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams arrived home on Tuesday after nine months in space. Their trip to the ISS was only supposed to last around a week but was extended due to technical issues.
Despite being stuck in space for 278 days longer than originally expected, Wilmore and Williams did not receive overtime pay, a NASA spokesperson told Newsweek.
Standard procedure is that astronauts receive regular, 40-hour workweek salaries when they're aboard the ISS. This does not include any overtime or holiday pay. But astronauts do receive incidental pay of $5 for each day they spend in space. Since Wilmore and Williams spent 286 days in space, this amounts to $1,430 in incidental pay for each astronaut.
The news sparked outcry among the public on behalf of the astronauts.
When asked about the lack of overtime pay for them, Trump said he hadn't heard about the issue but promised to get them paid.
"If I have to, I'll pay that out of my own pocket," he said. "That's not a lot for what they had to go through."
Trump admits 'nothing earthshattering' in JFK files
Trump admitted on Friday that there as "nothing earthshattering" in the John F. Kennedy assassination files he ordered to be released and unclassified this week.
"I don't think there is anything earth shattering... but you'll have to make that determination," he said told reporters at the Oval Office on Friday.
Trump suggests Tesla vandalism worse than Jan 6
Donald Trump has suggested that the vandalism of Tesla showrooms, in protest of Elon Musk, was worse than than the damage caused by the January 6 riots.
"When I looked at those showrooms burning,.. these are terrorists," Trump said of the protesters attacking Tesla dealerships.
"You didn't have that on January 6 I'll tell you that."
Trump conceded that "a very beautiful young woman" died on January 6. Multiple Capitol police officers were also seriously injured, with one dying from a stroke the following day, while several went on to end their own lives. Several rioters also died due to health conditions.
No one involved n the Tesla protests have been injured or killed.
Trump repeated his claim that the protests are being "funded" and warned the people financing them are in "just as much trouble" as the demonstrators.
Neil Gorsuch says Supreme Court has "serious misfit" with its own decision
Justice Neil Gorsuch broke from the Supreme Court majority on Friday on a decision about whether the failure to act can still be considered a violent crime.
The Court found that knowingly and intentionally causing injury or death, "whether by act or omission, involves the use of physical force against another person."
Gorsuch voiced his disapproval of the majority's decision in a dissent joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
"By looking to the common law today, the Court produces a serious misfit," Gorsuch wrote.
The disagreement between the majority and the dissenting justices centers around Congress' definition of a "crime of violence." The majority said the statute "has long been understood to incorporate liability for both act and omission."
Gorsuch, however, accused the Court of resorting to "conjecture about implicit congressional purposes."
Trump defends executive orders revoking law firm security clearances
Trump defended his executive orders that revoked security clearances from several prominent law firms, a move that could severely impact their operations. Trump claimed the firms "did bad things" and accused them of attacking him "ruthlessly, violently, illegally."
Trump also revealed that one of the firms, Paul, Weiss, had already reached a deal with him and suggested that others may follow. "They're not babies," Trump said. "They're very sophisticated people," implying that the firms are now seeking to negotiate.
Trump brands Tim Walz a 'loser'
President Trump has branded Minnesota Governor Tim Walz a "loser" after Kamala Harris' former running mate said he could "kick most [Trump supporters'] asses."
"He's a loser, he lost an election," he added.
Tesla investor calls for Musk to step down, ex-education secretary warns of accountability risks
On CNN News Central, guest anchor Jessica Dean spoke with Tesla investor Ross Gerber about his calls for Elon Musk to step down as CEO, citing damage to the company's reputation. Gerber criticized Musk's leadership, saying, "It sucks to be a Tesla shareholder and it sucks to be a Tesla owner," and urged the company to bring in crisis management experts.
Meanwhile, former Education Secretary Margaret Spellings told anchor John Berman that Trump's executive order dismantling the Education Department could reduce accountability in education. She warned that eliminating data systems could hinder efforts to track student achievement.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) also joined Dean to discuss Democratic prospects in the 2026 midterms. She claimed Republican lawmakers were "afraid" and avoiding town halls because they lack voter support, predicting losses for the GOP in November.
Trump cites Musk's businesses in China as he denies war briefing reports
President Trump denied reports that Elon Musk was set to be briefed today on the United States plans for a potential war with China, citing the billionaire's own interests in the country.
When asked why he wouldn't brief close ally Musk, Trump said he didn't want "anybody" seeing America's potential war plans.
"You wouldn't show it to a businessman who is helping us so much," he said, referring to Musk.
"I certainly wouldn't want, you know Elon has businesses in China, and he would be susceptible perhaps to that."
Trump defends releasing unredacted Social Security numbers in JFK files
Trump told reporters Friday that he had ordered the full release of documents related to President John F. Kennedy's assassination, defending the decision to include unredacted Social Security numbers.
"I was given the task of releasing that, because many presidents have gone through it and they haven't released, and I said, 'Release,'— we even released Social Security numbers," Trump said in the Oval Office. He argued that withholding any information would raise suspicions, adding, "They're long gone, so I can't imagine ... if you do delete it, we have people going to say, 'Why did you delete it?'"
The National Archives posted the documents online Tuesday evening, with over 2,000 files identified by record numbers but lacking detailed descriptions. While researchers will need time to analyze the documents, Trump downplayed the likelihood of any shocking revelations.
"I don't think there's anything that's earth-shattering, but you'll have to make that determination," Trump said.
Hegseth praises Trump over F-47, calls it a 'gift' for future generations
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, standing alongside Trump in the Oval Office, praised Trump's leadership while announcing the F-47 aircraft. Hegseth described the decision as a "gift" for future generations, contrasting it with what he called the failures of the previous administration.
"Under the previous administration, we looked like fools," Hegseth said, blaming the Biden administration for delaying action on the aircraft. He claimed Biden officials had chosen to leave the decision to the next generation.
Trump mentioned that a prototype of the F-47, which is accompanied by drones, had been tested for five years but did not provide further details about the project.
Trump refuses to share price of new F47 jets as he grants contract to Boeing
President Trump announced a new new fighter jet program with Boeing.
The new F47 jet is expected to be the expensive in history and has the aim of being able to compete with China's air force if war ever broke out between the two nations.
But today, as he announced it alongside defense secretary Pete Hegseth, Trump declined to share the cost, saying "We can't give you the price because it would give away secrets."
He added that the whole project had been a "big secret" and even the photos of the new plane, unveiled today, only showed a small part of the actual aircraft.
Hegseth called the announcement a "big day" for America and said the program was "the next generation of air dominance."
Turkey opposition leader calls for protests after mayor's arrest amid rising tensions
Turkey's main opposition leader, Özgür Özel, renewed calls for peaceful demonstrations following the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, a leading rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. İmamoğlu, detained in a dawn raid on Wednesday over alleged corruption and terrorist links, faces accusations of being politically targeted ahead of the 2028 presidential race. Government officials deny these claims, asserting Turkey's courts act independently.
Despite authorities widening bans on protests in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, Özel urged supporters to take to the streets to express their opposition to the arrest, calling it a reaction to the government's alleged injustices. Violent clashes erupted between demonstrators and police, with tear gas and water cannons used to disperse crowds. The Interior Ministry reported over 50 detentions and multiple injuries during protests.
Imamoglu's arrest, just days before his expected presidential candidacy announcement, has led to calls for a symbolic election to show support for the mayor. Analysts warn that he could be replaced by a "trustee mayor" if formally charged with links to the PKK, an outlawed organization. The situation has sparked both political and economic unrest, with the Borsa Istanbul index dropping by 7%.
Robert F. Kennedy will be taking over special needs care from Education Department
Donald Trump is continuing to divide up the responsibilities of the Education Department after his executive order aimed at dismantling the government department.
The president said Robert F. Kennedy will be taking over the responsibility for special needs care and school nutrition programs.
"That's rather complex. I think that will work out very well," Trump said in a Friday press conference from the Oval Office.
Trump added that he guaranteed that within a few years, "we're going to have tremendous results" comparable to Norward and Sweden.
Donald Trump administration cuts off water to Mexico
The United States has refused a request by Mexico for water after supplies under a treaty reached the cutoff point for special deliveries.
Newsweek has contacted the Mexican President's office for comment via email.
It comes as Trump has taken a tough approach to Mexico. His administration reinstated the "Remain in Mexico" policy, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, which requires asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico while their U.S. immigration cases are processed. Additionally, the administration ended "catch-and-release" practices, which previously allowed detained migrants to be released into the U.S. while awaiting immigration proceedings.
Trump has also intensified efforts to expand the border wall, adding new barriers along the southern border. Meanwhile, he has hit Mexico with new tariffs which he says are designed to reduce the flow of drugs over the border. The tariffs could push Mexico into a technical recession this year, according to analysts.
The new move by Trump opens up the possibility for a new battle between Mexico and the Trump administration over border issues.
Trump announces SBA will take over responsibility for student loans
President Donald Trump announced from the Oval Office today that the Small Business Administration (SBA) is taking over responsibility for student loans, as he continues to wind down the Education Department.
"That's coming out of the Department of Education now," he said, adding that the management of student loans has "been a mess."
Kelly Loeffler, United States Administrator of the Small Business Administration, will be taking over responsibility for the loans.
Trump administration considers withholding deportation flight details citing national security
The Trump administration is considering invoking the "state secrets privilege" to withhold information about deportation flights transporting Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche disclosed this ongoing debate in a Friday court filing, responding to U.S. District Judge James Boasberg's demand for the details.
Blanche mentioned that Cabinet-level discussions are underway to decide whether disclosing the information could pose a national security risk. The administration has criticized the judge's request as an "unnecessary judicial fishing" expedition, while Boasberg dismissed its earlier response as "woefully insufficient." The judge had previously blocked deportations under an 18th-century wartime law and will hear additional arguments later on Friday afternoon.
Trump awards Boeing next generation jet fighter contract: Report
President Donald Trump has reportedly granted a contract for new fighter jet program, worth billions of dollars, to Boeing.
The new jet, which is set to be the most expensive in history, would be in the air by the 2030s with the aim of being able to compete with China's air force if war ever broke out between the two nations. The piloted planes would be able to fight alongside semiautonomous drones, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The new jets are expected to cost as much as several hundred million dollars each, a huge increase compared to the Air Force's current Lockheed Martin F-35 fighters, which cost around $80 million.
Trump and defense secretary Pete Hegseth are expected to announce more details in a joint address from the Oval Office today.
Khalil's detention under scrutiny as legal efforts continue
Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. resident with no prior criminal record, participated in a brief court session on Thursday, where only scheduling matters were addressed. A more substantial hearing has been set for April 8, as Khalil's legal team works through several legal channels to secure his release.
Khalil, who was born in Syria to a Palestinian family and is married to a U.S. citizen, had previously been active as a spokesperson for Columbia University students protesting Israel's military actions in Gaza. His detention follows an ongoing crackdown on protests against U.S. policy, which former President Trump denounced as "antisemitic" and "anti-American."
Khalil, in a statement issued earlier this week, decried his detention as an example of "anti-Palestinian racism" and emphasized the broader implications for similar activists in the U.S.
Musk was expected to attend briefing in Pentagon's Tank, was called off after leak: Report
Billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk had been expected to attend a briefing with military leaders in the Pentagon's Tank today, during his visit to the Department of Defense headquarters, the New York Times reports.
However, it was reportedly called off after the Times reported on the briefing which would have reportedly seen Musk briefed on the U.S. military's plan for war with China.
The Tank is a secure conference room in the Pentagon which is typically used by the Joint Chiefs for high-level meetings with visiting combatant commanders.
Hours after the Times article was published yesterday, Pentagon officials and Trump denied the briefing would involve China.
"China will not even be mentioned or discussed," Trump said in a social media post.
Pentagon spokesperson reassigned after handling of Jackie Robinson article controversy
A top Pentagon spokesperson, John Ullyot, has been reassigned following backlash over his response to reports that the Department of Defense removed an article about Jackie Robinson, the Black sports icon who served in World War II.
Ullyot faced criticism after issuing multiple, conflicting statements on Wednesday without senior leadership approval. He attempted to downplay the incident by framing it as a sign that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs were "dead" at the Pentagon. His reassignment highlights the Pentagon's struggle to manage messaging and implement Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's directive from February to remove all DEI-related content from its websites and social media.
The Pentagon issued a clarification on Thursday, acknowledging that important content had been mistakenly taken down for review.
Trump official's 'buy Tesla' comment raises ethical concerns: Experts
Calls by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to buy Tesla stock raises many legal and ethical problems, several legal experts have told Newsweek.
The Hatch Act prohibits officials appointed to the executive branch, such as cabinet members, from using their position to make partisan political statements or promote private businesses for political reasons. Lutnick may be in violation of the Hatch Act, several legal experts believe.
Tesla has been hit by a consumer boycott because its chief executive, Elon Musk, is also head of Donald Trump's federal budget slashing Department Of Government Efficiency. On March 19, as Tesla stock continued to plunge, Lutnick urged the public to buy Tesla stock while it is still cheap.
"If you want to learn something on this show tonight, buy Tesla," Lutnick told host Jesse Watters on Fox News. "It's unbelievable that this guy's stock is so cheap. It'll never be this cheap again," Lutnick said.
DOJ under fire for delaying release of deportation flight details
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche informed a federal judge on Friday that the Trump administration is holding Cabinet-level discussions on whether to invoke the state secrets privilege in response to demands for more information about last weekend's deportation flights.
The Department of Justice faced strong criticism from US District Judge James Boasberg, who accused the agency of failing to comply with his order to release the requested details by noon ET Thursday. Instead, the DOJ submitted a sealed filing after the deadline, including a sworn statement from an ICE official offering general information on the flights.
Boasberg called the DOJ's response "woefully insufficient," noting that the filing referenced Cabinet-level discussions, but the declaration was based on the official's "unsubstantiated understanding." The judge criticized the lack of concrete information, stating that the government could not rely on such vague statements.
Taiwan warns of growing threat from China
Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te has taken the rare step of speaking out against China, warning it is a "foreign hostile force."
Lai is also calling to bring back martial law-era military courts to punish Chinese spies leaking national security secrets, and has pledged to increase Taiwan's defense spending.
Typically, Taiwanese leaders are careful not to provoke Beijing, while still defending their own sovereignty.
But China has been ramping up its threats to take Taiwan by force, and as Taiwan's biggest backer, the United States, seems to be wavering in its support, he also wants to "highlight for the U.S. the dangers it continues to face from China, and the proactive steps it is taking to defend itself," said Amanda Hsiao, China director for the Eurasia Group, told the Washington Post.
Elon Musk leaves Pentagon after meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
Elon Musk recently wrapped up an 80-minute meeting with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon, The New York Times reports.
When asked about the discussion, Musk responded, "Always a great meeting. I've been here before, you know."
Details of the meeting were not disclosed.
Department of Education shutdown: Which 'useful functions' are being saved
President Trump's executive order on dismantling the Department of Education (DOE) will spare some programs deemed critical by the administration.
Since its founding in 1979, the DOE has overseen federal education policy, administering funding to states and school districts, enforcing civil rights protections, and conducting research on educational institutions across the country.
Despite Trump's commitment to preserving "useful" programs, the move has already been met with criticism from lawmakers, as well as unions representing parents and teachers, who have argued that the department plays a crucial role in maintaining quality within the school system and promoting equal access to education.
According to Trump's speech on Thursday, a number of "useful functions" which fall under the DOE's remit will be "preserved in full and redistributed to various other agencies and departments that will take very good care of them."
The exact agencies to which these functions will be transferred has not yet been made clear by the administration. Trump previously suggested that the Small Business Administration could take control of federal student loan programs, the New York Times reported, adding that the Treasury was another option.
CNN, based on plans outlined in the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 policy blueprint, said that programs relating to support for disabled students could be transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services.
National Weather Service cuts weather balloon launches in multiple cities
The National Weather Service (NWS) has announced it will eliminate weather balloon launches in Omaha, Nebraska, and Rapid City, South Dakota, due to staffing shortages. In addition, the service will reduce balloon launches from twice daily to once daily in several cities, including Aberdeen, South Dakota; Grand Junction, Colorado; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Gaylord, Michigan; North Platte, Nebraska; and Riverton, Wyoming.
Earlier this month, the NWS also reported similar cuts in Albany, New York, and Gray, Maine.
These changes follow job cuts at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Trump administration, which led to the loss of hundreds of positions. Before these reductions, weather balloons were launched twice a day from 100 locations across the U.S., Caribbean, and Pacific Basin. These balloons carry instruments that measure vital atmospheric data, including temperature, humidity, pressure, wind speed, and direction.
Trump says Tesla vandalizers could be sent to El Salvador prisons
President Donald Trump has suggested that Americans vandalizing Tesla dealerships in protest of Elon Musk, could be sent to a notorious El Salvador prison.
In a post on Truth Social on Friday, Trump said, "I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20 year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla.
"Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!"
The Trump administration set up a deal with the government of El Salvador to ship deported migrants to the country, where they are mostly held in its CECOT anti-terrorism prison Human Rights Watch has accused the prison of allowing widespread abuses including a lack of access to food and health care.
Trump previously pledged to treat anyone damaging property to Tesla as domestic terrorism.
Musk PAC offering $100 for signatures on petition to oppose 'activist judges'
Billionaire Elon Musk's PAC is paying $100 for signatures on a petition to oppose "activist judges" in a Wisconsin election.
Musk's America PAC is running the giveaway through April 1, which is when voters in the swing state decide whether its highest court stays liberal or flips conservative.
The "special offer for Wisconsin voters" also gives anyone who refers someone to sign the petition a $100 bonus, on top of the $100 for their own signature.
"Judges should interpret laws as written, not rewrite them to fit their personal or political agendas," the petition reads. "By signing below, I'm rejecting the actions of activist judges who impose their own views and demanding a judiciary that respects its role — interpreting, not legislating."
Once they are in the voting booth, voting privacy laws mean that people who were paid to sign the petition don't have to disclose who they actually voted for; Republican Brad Schimel or Democratic candidate Susan Crawford.
Democrats turn to online influencers for a path back to power
In an effort to regain political momentum, Democratic lawmakers have increasingly turned to online influencers and content creators, hoping to leverage their massive followings to reach voters. In the weeks leading up to President Trump's joint address to Congress, Senate Democrats met with a dozen progressive online personalities, while House Democrats were introduced to 40 content creators to help boost their online presence.
Earlier in February, prominent figures like YouTube commentator Brian Tyler Cohen led a tutorial session for Democrats. This has resulted in a surge of Democratic content across social media, including livestreams, direct-to-camera explainers, and podcasts. While some videos have gone viral, others have sparked mockery from both liberal allies and Republicans.
Iran's supreme leader threatens US with 'severe blow'
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned that if the U.S. or any other nation acts against Iran, they will "receive a severe blow." His remarks, delivered in a televised speech and amplified on official social media, come as tensions escalate between Washington and Tehran.
The warning follows U.S. President Donald Trump's statement on Monday that Iran would be held responsible for Houthi attacks. The group, which controls a large part of Yemen, has ramped up its military actions, prompting U.S. airstrikes. The Houthis have expanded their military operations, striking both Israel and international shipping routes, drawing U.S. retaliation. Iran's role in supporting militant groups has fueled concerns of a wider conflict, with Washington directly linking Tehran to escalating instability.
Iran also faces a possible attack on its nuclear program by Israel, potentially with the support of the United States, which has said Tehran cannot be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons — something it has has denied trying to do.
As part of the "Axis of Resistance," an Iran-backed coalition that includes Hamas, Hezbollah, and Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria, the Houthis have long positioned themselves against U.S. and Israeli interests.
On Friday, Khamenei dismissed U.S. claims that regional resistance groups are Iranian proxies, saying, "The Yemeni nation and resistance groups have their own motivations. Iran doesn't need proxies."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to meet Elon Musk at the Pentagon for discussions on efficiency
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to meet with billionaire Elon Musk at the Pentagon on Friday to discuss "innovation, efficiencies & smarter production." Musk, a key adviser to Trump, has been involved in efforts to reduce the size of the government through his Department of Government Efficiency.
Musk's approach to slashing government programs and laying off workers has sparked significant controversy, with some lawmakers and voters criticizing his methods. However, Trump supporters have praised his efforts.
A senior defense official revealed that the Pentagon plans to cut between 50,000 to 60,000 civilian jobs as part of these initiatives. Hegseth is also expected to deliver remarks alongside President Trump at the White House on Friday.
Rep. Pat Harrigan discusses town hall backlash and Musk's Pentagon visit
Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-NC) appeared on CNN This Morning, addressing concerns over backlash at town hall events and the upcoming visit of Elon Musk to the Pentagon.
When discussing federal job cuts, Harrigan downplayed the impact, stating that only a small fraction—half of one percent—of the federal workforce had been affected. He compared the current situation to the federal layoffs during the Clinton administration, stressing that such measures have historical precedent.
Regarding recent protests at his office dedication, Harrigan claimed that many of the demonstrators were paid outsiders, not constituents from his district. He said half of the protesters came from outside the area and disrupted the event.
On Musk's planned involvement in Pentagon spending cuts, Harrigan expressed support, calling it the president's prerogative to enlist Musk's expertise in reviewing military budgets. Harrigan highlighted Musk's success as a businessman and his ability to identify inefficiencies in government spending.
Trump pushes to close Education Department, but Congress involvement is likely required
Trump has reiterated his stance that the U.S. Department of Education is wasteful and influenced by liberal ideology. His latest executive order calls for the dismantling of the department, with a focus on returning education authority to states and local communities. However, completing this task may be impossible without legislation from Congress, which established the department in 1979.
Republicans have expressed plans to introduce such legislation, while Democrats are quickly mobilizing to oppose the idea. Trump's order directs the education secretary to take steps to close the department, though it offers little detail on how the process will unfold. The White House has indicated that certain critical functions, such as Title I funding for low-income schools, Pell grants, and special education funding, will be preserved.
Judge blasts Trump administration for defying deportation order
U.S. District Judge Jeb Boasberg criticized the Trump administration for failing to comply with his order temporarily blocking deportations of Venezuelan immigrants alleged to be gang members. Despite the judge's directive, flights carrying the immigrants landed in El Salvador, prompting Boasberg to demand answers by noon Thursday.
The administration resisted, calling the request an "unnecessary judicial fishing expedition." In a written order, Boasberg called the administration's response "woefully insufficient," accusing officials of repeating general information and evading their obligations.
Boasberg has now ordered the administration to explain why it did not comply, raising the possibility that officials could be held in contempt of court.
Trump signs order directing federal agencies to share data
Trump signed an executive order on Thursday aimed at reducing waste, fraud, and abuse by improving data transparency across federal agencies. The order mandates that agency heads provide full access to unclassified records and systems to enhance oversight and eliminate inefficiencies.
The order also grants the Secretary of Labor access to unemployment data to strengthen fraud detection. According to the White House, restricted data access under the Biden administration led to billions in improper payments, with an estimated $236 billion lost in 2023 alone.
Since returning to office, Trump has pushed for a leaner government by freezing federal hiring, eliminating unnecessary agencies, and launching deregulation efforts. The new order is part of his broader plan to streamline operations and protect public funds.
Mark Carney sends message to Trump as Canada seeks 'reliable partners'
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made a subtle jab at U.S. President Donald Trump in a statement about his need to find "reliable partners" in trade.
The newly elected leader of the incumbent Liberal Party said Canada needed "new trade routes" in the wake of Trump's aggressive tariff policy, which drastically increased taxes on Canadian goods entering the U.S.
Newsweek has contacted the White House for comment via email.
Carney recently replaced Justin Trudeau as Canada's prime minister, amid heightening tensions around tariffs with the U.S., its largest trade partner. He has previously called Trump's trade policy "unjust" and has rejected calls by Trump to make Canada the 51st state.
Trump's tariffs have resulted in a trade war between the two countries, and deepening political and ideological divisions have raised concerns about the future relationship between the longtime allies.
Sanders draws 15,000 at Arizona rally against oligarchy, authoritarianism
Sen. Bernie Sanders drew a crowd of 15,000 supporters in Tempe, Arizona, for his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, filling the arena and packing the overflow area.

Trump cites false claims on education progress to justify shutdown
The Trump administration's plan to eliminate the U.S. Department of Education is based on misleading claims that student achievement has not improved since the department was founded in 1979. According to The New York Times, while student performance in reading and math has recently declined, data shows that American student achievement had steadily improved for decades prior to the pandemic.
Math scores for 13-year-olds nearly doubled between 1978 and 2012, and reading scores also saw gains. Experts attribute this progress to factors like school integration and accountability reforms during the No Child Left Behind era.
The administration also pointed to rising school spending as a reason to eliminate the department, but research shows that increased funding—especially for low-income students and teacher quality—leads to higher test scores and college attendance.
Trump's plan would shift education control to states, potentially increasing disparities in funding and outcomes between states.
Student loans warning issued after Department of Education shut down
Senator Elizabeth Warren has issued a warning to student loan borrowers following the sudden shutdown of the Department of Education.
Newsweek has contacted the Department of Education for comment via email outside office hours.
In an executive order on Thursday, President Donald Trump directed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to begin the process of eliminating the Department of Education. He called it a "very historic action" before signing the order. The directive instructs McMahon to "preserve in full" key programs such as Title I, Pell Grants, and resources for students with disabilities, while cutting others.
The shutdown of the Department of Education puts millions of student loan borrowers at risk of delayed payments, processing errors, and limited access to financial aid support, according to opponents. The shutdown also raises concerns about loan scams and reduced oversight, leaving borrowers more vulnerable to predatory practices.
Migrants deported from U.S. struggle to seek asylum in Panama
Migrants deported from the U.S. to Panama, including individuals from Afghanistan, Russia, Iran, and China, are struggling to secure asylum in other countries. Left in limbo, they have been visiting embassies and consulates in Panama City in search of help, but have been met with rejection or no response.
The U.S. deported nearly 300 people to Panama in February, using the country as a stopover for difficult deportations. Some voluntarily returned to their home countries, but others, fearing persecution, refused and were sent to a remote jungle camp before being released earlier this month.
Many of the deportees, including Afghan national Hayatullah Omagh, say they fear returning home and have pleaded for refuge. However, embassies have told them they cannot assist, and international aid organizations have offered little hope of asylum in Panama.
U.N. refugee officials acknowledged the challenges but warned that U.S. aid cuts have strained refugee services. As options dwindle, the deportees fear being forgotten.
Russian drone strike ignites fires, injures three in Odesa
Russian drones struck the Ukrainian port city of Odesa late Thursday, injuring three people and causing large fires, local officials said Friday. Odesa region head Oleh Kiper reported "local emergency power outages" in three districts, suggesting possible damage to the city's energy infrastructure.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for increased sanctions and defense support from Western allies, saying such pressure is necessary to halt Russian aggression.
The attack coincided with Czech President Peter Pavel's visit to Odesa, underscoring the ongoing threat despite a temporary ceasefire deal that was meant to protect energy infrastructure.
Russia, meanwhile, accused Ukraine of blowing up a gas facility in the Kursk region, a claim Kyiv denies. The facility had previously pumped natural gas to Europe before supplies were halted last year.
The ceasefire agreement, brokered by President Trump, remains unclear, with differing views between Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. about which targets are protected.
Daines visits Beijing amid U.S.-China trade and fentanyl tensions
Sen. Steve Daines, a Republican from Montana and strong Trump supporter, arrived in Beijing on Thursday as the U.S. and China exchange tariff threats and accusations over the fentanyl trade. Daines, the first U.S. lawmaker to visit China since Trump's return to office, said he plans to discuss curbing fentanyl production and ensuring fair market access for Montana's farmers and ranchers.
Daines' office said he is working closely with the White House and promoting Trump's "America First" agenda during the trip. Chinese officials welcomed Daines, emphasizing the importance of stable U.S.-China relations but offered no details on his meetings.
The visit comes as the U.S. imposed 20% tariffs on Chinese goods, prompting China to retaliate with 15% duties on American farm products. The U.S. accuses China of failing to stop the export of fentanyl precursors, while China insists it is committed to cooperation but opposes U.S. sanctions.
Russia claims Ukraine strike on Sudzha gas pipe breaks Trump ceasefire deal
Russia accused Ukraine of striking a gas pipeline in Sudzha, thus violating an agreement not to strike each other's energy infrastructure brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Ukraine accused Russia of hitting the gas station and falsely accusing Kyiv of responsibility.
The technical details of the energy infrastructure ceasefire are due to be worked out in the coming days, but both Presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky had already agreed in calls with Trump to temporarily stop such strikes.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday morning that Putin's order not to strike energy infrastructure remains in place despite Ukraine's actions, Russian state media reported.
The Russian military called the Sudzha blast a "deliberate provocation of the Kyiv regime" to "discredit the peace initiatives of the President of the United States," state-owned TASS reported.
A day before, Russia had accused Ukraine of violating a ceasefire agreement by striking its oil depots.
But the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a Facebook post that Russia was "increasing the discreditation campaign against Ukraine."
"Yes, the enemy blamed our Defense Forces in the bombardment of the Sudzha gas station," said post. "These allegations are baseless. Yes, the mentioned station was repeatedly shelled by the Russians themselves."
