| | | | | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🚫 Trump officially gutted DEI in the federal government. President Trump signed an executive order that rescinds EO 11246 signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson. This order bans race-based discrimination, including Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, for all federal contractors and publicly-funded universities. The Office of Personnel Management directed agencies to place DEI staff on paid leave by today at 5 pm. | ⚖️ Blue states challenged Trump's birthright citizenship order. Twenty-two states and two cities filed lawsuits claiming Trump's executive order contradicts the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the US. Trump's order, aimed at eliminating automatic citizenship for children of illegal parents, faces an uphill legal battle. | 💸 Trump threatened tariffs to renegotiate USMCA. President Trump is using the threat of 25 percent tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico to push for a renegotiation of the US-Mexico-Canada trade agreement (USMCA). His goal is to bring auto manufacturing and production back to the US, and has Commerce nominee Howard Lutnick and US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer leading the negotiations. | 🌐 Trump suspended foreign assistance for 90 days. Trump also signed an executive order halting US foreign aid for 90 days to review whether it aligns with his foreign policy goals. However, some of the largest recipients of aid, including Israel, Jordan, Egypt, will be left untouched. Ukraine will also likely not be affected, as they receive US funding through programs excluded in the executive order. |

| *Indicates content from our sponsors | | | TODAY'S FEATURED STORY | Trump begins his monumental deportation operation | | What's happening: President Donald Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan, are taking immediate action to fulfill immigration policy pledges the former made during his presidential campaign. Homan confirmed that as of yesterday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids are already underway. | | State resistance: Democratic-led states like California and Illinois are preparing to resist the federal crackdown. These states have robust sanctuary policies in place that prevent them from cooperating with the federal government on deportations. | New York's dilemma: New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) previously stated he would work with the Trump administration on deportations. However, the NYC school system reminded principals this month that ICE officers cannot access school grounds "without proper legal authority." And in 2014, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) signed legislation to limit NYC's cooperation with ICE.
| Border orders: Trump signed a flurry of executive orders to help bring his deportation strategy to fruition, including reinstating the successful "Remain in Mexico" policy, which requires asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while their cases are processed. | More: He eliminated the CBP One app, used by migrants to set up appointments with the border patrol, and declared drug cartels terrorist organizations to expand enforcement powers. Trump also ended automatic US citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants. Bringing in the big guns: He directed the military to take a role in enforcing the border, and is open to the idea of using special forces to take out cartel targets.
| Why it matters: Four years of President Biden opening the nation to an unprecedented influx of illegal migrants paved the way for widespread violence in America, and have created wealthier, stronger cartels south of the border. Trump is now — with the help of his dedicated border czar — fulfilling his promise to mass deport illegal migrants and retake control of the nation's borders. | | 360 Media View | | From the left: Left-leaning publications like The Washington Post have highlighted the fear of many families that they may be deported, implying that enforcing immigration policy is inherently cruel… | | | 🔒 360 Media View: Members-Only | See how different media outlets across the spectrum are framing this story. | |
