We start the day's other headlines with a slew of legal actions by and against the Trump

administration. In an emergency request today, the administration asked the Supreme Court to

allow the Pentagon to ban transgender service members while legal challenges play out. The ban was

blocked in a lower court in March, an appeals court refused to block that ruling while a

challenge is pending. As a result, Politico reports tonight that the Pentagon is poised to resume

gender-affirming care for transgender service members. A federal judge has ordered the Trump

administration to bring back another man who was deported to El Salvador. The Trump-appointed judge said the administration

must facilitate the return of a 20-year-old Venezuelan man identified only by the name Christian,

who was deported in violation of a court settlement last year. Christian arrived in the U.S. as an

unaccompanied minor and has a pending asylum claim. In the meantime,

the Trump administration has told a federal judge in Texas that it's giving just 12 hours

for migrants to contest their deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. That revelation came after

a judge today unsealed a document filed by Homeland Security about the notice process.

Three more federal judges tonight also blocked a number of President Trump's initiatives

on everything from immigration to voting to education. One judge blocked parts of the White

House's sweeping overhaul of U.S. elections, including its proof of citizenship requirement to

register to vote. Another judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot deny federal funds

to so-called sanctuary cities that didn't cooperate with immigration enforcement. And in a third

ruling, a judge paused the Department of Education's push to cut K-12 public school funding over diversity initiatives.

All three rulings which occurred in district court can be appealed.

Turning overseas, the world's two largest economies made contradicting claims today

on whether or not they're engaged in tariff talks.
