The Trump administration has been accused of ignoring or flat-out defying recent federal court orders, including a Supreme Court decision that it must “facilitate” the release of a Maryland man who was sent in error to a Salvadoran prison.

The federal judge presiding over Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case Tuesday chastised the administration for its inaction.

“I’ve gotten nothing,” said Judge Paula Xinis of the U.S. District Court for Maryland. “I’ve gotten no real response and no real legal justification for not answering.”

A man accused of trying to assassinate President Trump at his Florida golf club last September can hire an expert to examine the rifle recovered from the scene, but only to determine its operability, a federal judge said Tuesday.

Ryan Routh's attorneys had asked that their expert be allowed to inspect, photograph and test the rifle in order to evaluate a government expert's findings, as well as test it for other information that they thought was relevant. In Tuesday's order, District Judge Aileen Cannon — who was nominated by Mr. Trump — limited the...

President Donald Trump’s high-tech moonshot may hit a Texas-sized speed bump — and it’s coming from his own party.

Trump’s AI initiative, dubbed "Stargate," aims to build 20 ultra-powerful data centers across the country. Backed by heavyweights like OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, and the UAE-funded MGX, the project represents a $500 billion bet on the future with Texas chosen as ground zero for the first 10 centers.

But a new Texas bill, Senate Bill 6, could delay or derail that momentum. The legislation adds a six-month regulatory review on top of an...

Former President Joe Biden, while reflecting on his youth and witnessing segregation firsthand, referred to Black students as "colored kids" in his first major address since exiting the Oval Office.

"We lived in an apartment complex, and she'd [Biden's mom] drive us only about half a mile to Holy Rosary School in Claymont. But it was so dangerous, she wouldn't let us walk up," Biden said Tuesday evening while delivering a speech on the Social Security Administration before a disability advocacy conference in Chicago.

"There were hardly any Black people in Scranton at the time … and I was only going into fourth grade. And I remember seeing kids going by, at the time called colored kids, on a bus going by," Biden added in his anecdote to explain the importance of civil rights laws to him and why he got involved in politics.

The 46th president was reflecting on how his family moved from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to
