Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) used a photo opportunity with President Donald Trump to share his plan to move undocumented migrants through Alligator Alcatraz and other Florida detention facilities as quickly as possible.

Trump traveled to Ochopee, Florida, Tuesday to tour the detention facility comprising heavy-duty tents and FEMA trailers that are expected to detain up to 5,000 migrants awaiting deportation.

"I know Secretary [Kristi] Noem and her team have said, as soon as the president departs, we'll be open to start receiving folks. And, so, we'll see what the tempo is," DeSantis told the press....

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of allowing DOGE to access sensitive Social Security information, according to CNN's Joan Biskupic.

In a 6-3 ruling Friday afternoon, the court lifted a block on DOGE's access that was imposed by a lower court.

"You know, the Social Security Administration has so much personal information on all of us; our Social Security numbers, our bank account numbers, all sorts of records, date of birth — and DOGE had said that it needed access to this material for part of its efforts to modernize government systems," Biskupic said. ...

President Donald Trump is being warned that he "chose the wrong targets" when he went after the powerful Federalist Society and its co-founder as part of his war on judges who refuse to bend to his will, according to a political science professor writing for MSNBC.

The Federalist Society and co-founder Leonard Leo helped Trump choose Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett during his first term.

The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority may not automatically come to the rescue of President Donald Trump's tariff fight in the way he expects them to, according to reporting from Politico.

The legal challenges to Trump's worldwide tariffs have caused a whiplash effect over the past two days; on Wednesday, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled that Trump exceeded his legal authority when he imposed the emergency tariffs during his "Liberation Day" announcement in April.

Then on Thursday, a federal appeals court paused that ruling, temporarily restoring the president's ability to impose the tariffs on nations from China to the European Union as he sees fit....

A small father-daughter run wine company in Upstate New York stood up to President Donald Trump's tariffs in a "David and Goliath" showdown — and came out on top, according to reporting by CNN.

The company, called VOS Selections, agreed to be the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Trump administration, "which prompted a three-judge panel at the US Court of International Trade to strike down Trump’s sweeping global tariffs on Wednesday," the report said.

According to the decision, Trump "overstepped his authority by invoking emergency economic powers to impose sweeping tariffs on China, Canada, Mexico and other US trading partners."...
