Legal experts unloaded Monday after the Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a win in its effort to deport migrants it suspects of being gang members by invoking a controversial 1700s law.

The court said Trump's administration can invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which was part of the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by Congress amid heightened tensions with France. The law gives the president wartime powers to detain, relocate, or deport non-citizens from enemy nations.

The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a win Monday afternoon as it allowed his administration to — for now — use a 1700s-era law to deport migrants it alleges are gang members.

A Republican senator from a key battleground state is increasingly desperate for President Donald Trump to find an exit strategy from his tariff plan.

"Sen. [Thom] Tillis sounding the alarm on tariffs," reported Max Cohen from Punchbowl News. "Says the administration needs to start publicizing 'specific negotiations' with trading partners."

A Cabinet official jetted to Florida over the weekend to press President Donald Trump to hone his message on tariffs — and put anxious Americans at ease — or watch the financial markets continue to crater, according to a report.

Scott Bessent flew Sunday and warned Trump that the markets would continue to spiral if he didn't emphasize his endgame when it comes to his trade war, Politico reported.

President Donald Trump sent House Republicans a stern message Monday afternoon — the Senate passed the GOP budget, now it's your turn.

Former Justice Department prosecutor Liz Oyer appeared before a House and Senate "spotlight hearing" on Monday and spoke about the ways in which the department has operated under President Donald Trump's presidency.

The hearing isn't an official one, as the Republicans are in power in the House and Senate, and only they can call an official congressional hearing.

President Donald Trump held a news conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, but an odd Holocaust-related analogy he offered about the hostages captured by Hamas caught the attention of many observers.

"I said to [the former hostages], was there any sign of love?" said Trump. "Did Hamas show any signs of, like, help or liking you? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? Like what happened in Germany, what happened elsewhere? People would try and help people that were in unbelievable distress. They said no."

While the White House meeting between Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump on Monday touched on tariffs and talks over Iran and Gaza, it was the political optics of the encounter that made the rounds on social media.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk's private security detail was deputized by the Marshals Service, alarming experts,
according to Mother Jones.

"The Marshals Service regularly deputizes people outside the agency—often local or state cops—to help with specific tasks for a set period of time," the report explained. "These deputized officers are known as special deputy marshals, and they usually have the power to make federal arrests, execute search warrants, serve subpoenas, and carry firearms in federal buildings, just like regular deputy marshals do."

Businessman and Barstool Sports founder David Portnoy revealed last week that due to President Donald Trump's trade war, he'd lost $7 million. He later said that the amount had grown.

"I haven’t even looked, but if I had to guess, I probably lost $20 million in the last 3 days. 10–15% of my net worth — poof," he said,

Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has temporarily blocked a court order requiring President Donald Trump's administration to return a Maryland man who was illegally deported to a high-security prison in El Salvador.

Trump's Department of Justice filed an emergency appeal on Monday morning after a federal judge ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned to the United States.

The Trump administration on Monday asked the Supreme Court to block a judge’s order requiring officials to return to the United States a Maryland father from the El Salvadoran megaprison he was wrongfully deported to.

But the court of public opinion beat the nine justices to it and quickly weighed in on the latest debacle to hit President Donald Trump’s administration as his Department of Justice faces a midnight deadline to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the U.S.

The GOP is "not getting basic information" when it comes to President Donald Trump's tariff plan, the co-founder of Punchbowl News reported Monday.
