What to know about the US Supreme Court’s midnight Alien Enemies Act order

18th century wartime authority to speed deportations, the issue has rocketed back to the justices in a second short-fuse appeal with enormous potential consequences. The situation was entirely foreseeable. After handing down an opaque 5-4 order earlier this month that allowed both sides to claim victory, the nation's highest court is being asked for a second time to halt the administration from using the Alien Enemies Act. President Donald Trump is facing pushback from the US Supreme Court over his use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants. (AP) That review will take place as lower courts begin to wrangle over what kind of notice the government must provide to those targeted under the act and what steps the migrants can take to fight it. In a rare o...

This Midwestern city has long been a federal hub. The pain from DOGE’s cuts is everywhere

In her 28 years working for the federal government, Shea Giagnorio provided daycare for the children of US soldiers, training for employees and oversight for safety net programs. Public service took her from Germany to Alaska to Kansas City, Missouri, where she moved last year for a long-sought promotion. But when she reported to a downtown federal building for work one day last month, her access card did not work. After a co-worker let her into the building, she checked her email: her entire office had been let go in the latest mass firing ordered by President Donald Trump’s administration. Shea Giagnorio packs belongings in her apartment days after getting fired from her job with the Administration for Children and Families. (AP) The 46-year-old single mum has can...

Trump is undergoing his annual physical after years of reluctance to share medical information

Donald Trump is undergoing his annual physical on Friday, potentially giving the public its first details in years about the health of a man who in January became the oldest in US history to be sworn in as president. "I have never felt better, but nevertheless, these things must be done!" Trump, 78, posted on his social media site of the examination which was being conducted at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, in Bethesda, Maryland, outside Washington. Despite long questioning predecessor Joe Biden's physical and mental capacity, Trump has routinely kept basic facts about his own health shrouded in secrecy — shying away from traditional presidential transparency on medical issues.

Trump has 90 days to do 150 trade deals. Financial markets aren’t buying it

President Donald Trump and his advisers said this was the plan all along: Scare the bejesus out of the world by announcing astronomically high tariffs, get countries to come to the negotiating table, and — with the exception of China — back away from the most punishing trade barriers as America works out new trade agreements around the globe. But Trump's 90-day pause on his "reciprocal" tariffs that were never actually reciprocal gives his administration just three months to strike enormously complex trade deals with dozens of countries that it says are lining up to negotiate. Financial markets aren't buying it. Stocks have whipsawed as volatility has spiked. President Donald Trump and his advisers said this was the plan all along: Scare the bejesus out of the world by...

Tariffs will make sneakers, jeans and almost everything Americans wear cost more, trade groups warn

Sending children back to school in new sneakers, jeans and T-shirts is likely to cost US families significantly more this fall if the bespoke tariffs President Donald Trump put on leading exporters take effect as planned, American industry groups warn. About 97 per cent of the clothes and shoes purchased in the US are imported, predominantly from Asia, the American Apparel & Footwear Association said, citing its most recent data. Walmart, Gap Inc., Lululemon and Nike are a few of the companies that have a majority of their clothing made in Asian countries.
