or on Chicago crime: ‘Straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming!’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Donald Trump on Saturday sent a warning to the Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker in a post on his social media platform, referencing recent crime in Chicago and saying Pritzker “better straighten it out, FAST, or we’re coming!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump has said Chicago would be the next city he would target after his administration’s federal takeover of Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In another social media post, Trump touted his efforts to crack down on crime in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“DC is virtually, in just 14 days, a CRIME FREE ZONE,” Trump wrote. “The people living and working there are ecstatic!!!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Donald Trump suggested that a bilateral meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to occur during an interview with the Daily Caller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But Trump did say a trilateral meeting “will happen” without specifying when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A tri would happen. A bi, I don’t know about, but a tri will happen. But, you know, sometimes people aren’t ready for it,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump also indicated he’s open to using U.S. planes in a security guarantee to end the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Maybe we’ll do something. Look, I’d like to see something get solved. They’re not our soldiers, but there are, five to 7,000, mostly young people being killed every single week. If I could stop that and have a plane flying around the air every once in a while, it’s going to be mostly the Europeans, but we, we’d help them,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration\u2019s expanded use of expedited removal, dealing a major, but possibly temporary, blow to the president\u2019s deportation agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb in Washington, D.C., ruled the Trump administration\u2019s reliance on the expedited process to detain immigrants in the interior of the country with little to no due process is unlawful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expedited removal is a streamlined process that allows the government to quickly remove a migrant from the country. Under the Biden administration, its use was typically restricted to apply to migrants who had recently crossed into the country and were found near the southern border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under President Donald Trump, the Department of Homeland Security has been given wider discretion to detain migrants anywhere in the interior of the country and place them in removal procedures if they can\u2019t prove they\u2019ve been in the country for more than two years. Through this process, migrants were sometimes not given the opportunity to see a judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Expedited removal has been prominently used at courthouses across the country where migrants have been detained outside of court hearings after having their cases dismissed by immigration judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Cobb’s decision doesn\u2019t prevent courthouse arrests, it severely curtails the administration\u2019s ability to directly place immigrants in expedited removal if their cases are dismissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a strongly worded opinion, Cobb said the Trump administration’s legal arguments about due process affect noncitizens and citizens, alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The Government could accuse you of entering unlawfully, relegate you to a bare-bones proceeding where it would \u2018prove\u2019 your unlawful entry, and then immediately remove you,” she wrote. “By merely accusing you of entering unlawfully, the Government would deprive you of any meaningful opportunity to disprove its allegations. Fortunately, that is not the law.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cobb said she is not questioning the constitutionality of the expedited removal process but ordered that anyone subjected to it be afforded due process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Music was heard outside the briefing room on Friday afternoon, including “I Dream a Dream,” from the musical “Les Mis\u00e9rables.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
