The Trump administration has been persistent in its efforts to deport Kilmer Abrego Garcia, a migrant previously deported to El Salvador without charge due to an “administrative error,” and on Monday, defiantly violated a federal judge’s order as it pertains to the case, according to new court documents.

Now facing charges of human trafficking, Garcia was released from a Tennessee prison on Friday, only to surrender himself to an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility on Monday. Yet, despite an order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes that Garcia be granted access to his legal counsel, ICE officials have ignored such requests, according to new filings from his legal team.

Comments made by Donald Trump before his meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in the Oval Office both stunned and baffled a panel on MSNBC on Tuesday morning

The day after the meeting, MSNBC’s Jonathan Lemire summarized for his co-host on “Morning Joe” the criticisms the president has made about the lack of freedom –– but they were not aimed at North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, but instead at his guest.

President Donald Trump declared his administration would "probably" change the name of the Department of Defense to the Department of War, and panelists on "CNN This Morning" tried to make sense of the move.

The department's name was changed in 1947, when the National Defense Act reorganized U.S. military and intelligence services following World War II, leading to the formation of the National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency, but Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have often lamented the move away from what they call the department’s “warrior ethos."

"We are in a dangerous moment," and Donald Trump just signaled that, according to a former federal prosecutor.

Ex-prosecutor Joyce Vance, who also serves as a legal analyst for journalists, frequently discusses Trump's actions, especially when they crossover with the legal world. However, Trump's recent comment about how some Americans want a dictator caused the attorney to switch up her tone as she informed readers.

President Donald Trump’s unprecedented announcement late Monday that he would be firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook “effective immediately” sparked a wave of backlash Monday night and into Tuesday morning, with some critics declaring the announcement to have potentially devastating effects on the U.S. economy.

“Markets run on trust,” Tom Steyer, former hedge fund manager and Democratic presidential candidate, wrote Monday night in a social media post on X. “Firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook for political reasons torpedoes the credibility of the Fed, and America's economy. Mark my words: the destruction of Fed independence = higher inflation. Americans are going to suffer.”

A Democratic activist revealed the strategy behind President Donald Trump's most recent gibe at the American republic.

On Monday, Trump claimed that "a lot of people are saying, 'Maybe we'd like a dictator?'" during a press conference in the Oval Office.
