U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss heard arguments in a Washington courtroom over a lawsuit brought by immigrants rights organizations, which are challenging a key executive order that banned the ability for migrants crossing the southern border to seek protections in the United States.

In the Jan. 20 order, President Donald Trump declared that the situation at the southern border constitutes an invasion of America and that he was “suspending the physical entry” of migrants.

Trump’s order asserts that the Immigration and Nationality Act gives presidents the authority to suspend entry of any group that they find “detrimental to the interests of the United States.”

President Trump said he "could" call up El Salvador's president to secure the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was removed from the U.S. last month and sent to a Salvadoran prison in what a government official called an "administrative error."

Mr. Trump's remarks — made in an interview that aired Tuesday with ABC News — come as his government grapples with a court order instructing it to "facilitate" the return of Abrego Garcia, who was removed despite a 2019 ruling that barred him from being sent to El Salvador. The administration has argued...

The review will examine Patel's use of the FBI's private fleet of jets, as well as every director's approach since 2013, when the GAO last studied the issue. Investigators at the congressional watchdog agency are expected to examine Patel's flight records to determine the purpose of his travel, how much the bureau spent and whether Patel reimbursed the...

However, in his first months in office, it is unclear whether Trump can, or should, implement the harsh reciprocal tariffs he announced in April against dozens of countries.

Now, 100 days into his second term, economists told Fox News Digital...
