- PRESIDENT OF EL SALVADOR REFUSES TO RETURN MISTAKENLY DEPORTED MAN TO U.S.: El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele has declined to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident mistakenly deported by the U.S., despite a Supreme Court order for his return. Bukele labeled Abrego Garcia a “terrorist,” aligning with U.S. claims of gang affiliation, which his attorneys contest. The Trump administration asserts it cannot compel El Salvador to release him, raising concerns about executive compliance with judicial mandates.
- U.S. ARMY TO CONTROL LAND ON MEXICO BORDER FOR BASE, MIGRANTS COULD BE DETAINED: The Trump administration has authorized the U.S. Army to oversee federal land along the Mexico border, effectively designating it as a military base. This move allows military personnel to detain migrants on-site, circumventing laws that restrict military involvement in domestic law enforcement. Critics argue this action may face legal challenges and sets a concerning precedent for military roles in civilian matters.
- TRUMP-APPOINTED OFFICIAL WHO OVERSAW USAID DISMANTLING LEAVES STATE DEPARTMENT: Pete Marocco, appointed by President Trump and instrumental in reducing USAID operations, has abruptly resigned from the State Department. Reports suggest internal conflicts, particularly with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, over significant cuts to foreign aid programs. Marocco’s departure follows the controversial elimination of numerous humanitarian initiatives.
- PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS CBS AND ‘60 MINUTES’ SHOULD ‘PAY A BIG PRICE’ FOR COVERAGE: President Trump has condemned CBS and its program “60 Minutes,” stating they should “pay a big price” for recent coverage he perceives as unfavorable. The criticism follows segments addressing U.S. policies on Ukraine and Greenland. Trump’s remarks are part of an ongoing $20 billion lawsuit against the network concerning previous interview content.

- MARK ZUCKERBERG TESTIFIES IN ANTITRUST TRIAL: ‘FACEBOOK ISN’T REALLY FOR FRIENDS ANYMORE’: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified in a federal antitrust trial, acknowledging that Facebook has evolved beyond its original purpose of connecting friends. The trial examines Meta’s acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, with potential implications for the company’s structure. Zuckerberg defended the acquisitions as strategic moves to enhance user experience.
- HUNGARY PASSES CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BANNING LGBTQ PUBLIC EVENTS: Hungary’s parliament approved a constitutional amendment banning public LGBTQ events, including Pride parades. The law, justified as protecting children’s development, also enshrines binary gender recognition and permits facial recognition to identify participants in prohibited gatherings. Critics view the amendment as a significant setback for civil rights and an authoritarian move by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government.
