MSNBC's Joe Scarborough warned that president Donald Trump's deportation flights sending immigrants to a notorious El Salvador prison would undermine the administration's stated goal of getting them to self-deport.

The president and his top officials are ignoring court orders and refusing to bring back a Maryland man mistakenly sent to the maximum security prison, but the "Morning Joe" host said the administration would not be able to lawfully conduct the mass deportations Trump promised on the campaign trail.

Political scientist Ian Bremmer says that President Donald Trump has quickly made the United States into "the principal driver of geopolitical uncertainty" in just three short months.

In his latest video commentary, Bremmer outlines the chaos and instability that Trump has singlehandedly created by launching a trade war against nearly every single nation on Earth, including a remote island solely inhabited by penguins.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough blasted president Donald Trump for eroding American advantages as he pushes through unpopular and legally questionable policies.

China has been working to build new trade relationships with nations that Trump has slapped with massive tariffs, as foreign universities are recruiting U.S. researchers who have lost jobs thanks to Elon Musk's funding cuts, and the "Morning Joe" host weighed in on the issue from a trip to the United Kingdom.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow expressed skepticism on her show late Monday at a new report that Trump administration added thousands of migrants to the Social Security Administration's death file — even though they are alive — alleging they all have links to either terrorist activity or criminal records.

The Trump administration directed the agency to add more than 6,000 living immigrants to its "death master file," a database of people who have died and whose Social Security numbers should no longer be used. The move was meant to pressure the immigrants, many of whom were legally allowed into the country under temporary programs established by the Biden administration, into self-deporting from the United States.

Former NAACP director Cornell William Brooks laid into President Donald Trump's move to freeze billions in federal funding from Harvard University, after the prestigious institution rejected his demands to crack down on the political ideology of its faculty and student body — a similar ultimatum Trump used against Columbia University that that school ultimately complied with.

"We have a wonderful Constitution that contains a First Amendment, which this government, this administration is violating," Brooks told CNN's John Berman. "This is to say, the government does not get to dictate political ideology. It does not get to determine whether faculty or staff or too liberal to conservative to this, to that. The First Amendment has a little something to say about that."

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), normally a fierce supporter of President Donald Trump, expressed some hesitation about tariffs when pressed Monday afternoon by CNN's Jake Tapper.

Trump's plan calls for 10 to 49 percent import duties on virtually the entire rest of the world — with the rate calculated by how much of a trade deficit the United States has with each country. Bowing to market panic and discontent from his party, he pared things back temporarily, announcing that for 90 days, all countries except China would only face the minimum of 10 percent.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) suggested Jesus Christ would send "Saturday Night Live" actors and writers to hell for a sketch that mocked President Donald Trump.

In a sketch over the weekend, comedian James Austin Johnson mentioned Jesus during his impersonation of Trump.

A Palestinian green card holder who protested the war in Gaza was reportedly arrested by Homeland Security agents after being called into the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in Vermont for a citizenship test.

A video shared by CBS News correspondent Lilia Luciano showed Mohsen Mahdawi being taken into custody outside the office in Burlington on Monday. Mahdawi, a Columbia University graduate student, had led protests against the war last year.

President Donald Trump confirmed that he wants his administration to deport U.S. citizens to a prison in El Salvador.

During a Monday meeting with Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele, Trump was asked about the possibility of deporting citizens to the notorious Cecot prison.

President Donald Trump falsely blamed Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky for starting a war with Russia in a rant from the White House.

The U.S. president met Monday with El Salvador's president Nayib Bukele in the Oval Office, and he expanded on comments he made earlier on Truth Social blaming Zelensky and former president Joe Biden for Russia's invasion.

The Maryland man whom the U.S. government admits it mistakenly deported last month to El Salvador is still alive, the Justice Department revealed in its daily update over the weekend.

However, the administration has yet to go through with a Supreme Court ruling that it must move forward with "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia after his wrongful deportation.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon lashed out at Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, calling him "close to an unmitigated disaster" for television appearances to sell President Donald Trump's trade war.

During his Monday War Room program, Bannon suggested Lutnick was wrong to think new manufacturing in the U.S. would be automated.
