The Supreme Court blocked Trump from firing Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook, preserving the Fed's independence from presidential removal power. A separate ruling the same day gave Trump broader authority to dismiss leaders of other independent federal agencies.
The US Supreme Court has blocked President Trump's attempt to fire Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, who faced unproven mortgage fraud allegations. The ruling preserves Fed independence for now and keeps a politically charged removal case alive in the courts.
The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the Trump administration to terminate Temporary Protected Status for thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants, exposing them to deportation.
The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to proceed with ending Temporary Protected Status for more than 356,000 Syrian and Haitian immigrants. The ruling puts affected individuals at risk of losing work authorization and deportation protections, with enforcement timelines still to be determined.
The US Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that immigration officials can place green card holders on parole at border crossings based on suspicion alone. The decision, backing a Trump administration policy, weakens entry protections for roughly 13 million lawful permanent residents who travel internationally.
The Trump administration ended Biden's zero-tolerance gun dealer policy, shifted nearly 1,800 ATF agents to immigration enforcement, and the Justice Department declined 30% more trafficking referrals in 2025.
The US Justice Department has opened denaturalisation proceedings against roughly a dozen naturalised citizens, including Indian-origin businessman Debashis Ghosh, accused of a $2.5 million investment fraud.
President Trump plans to remove FDA Commissioner Marty Makary amid disputes over vaping policy, the abortion pill, and drug rejections. A leadership change at the agency could shift approval timelines and regulatory priorities affecting pharma and biotech sectors.
The Trump administration is seeking allied help to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz after Iran blocked the waterway, despite Trump publicly claiming the U.S. needs no assistance. The disconnect complicates outreach, as Trump has recently attacked many of the same allies Washington now needs.
The US plans to reduce its troop deployment in Germany by 5,000 soldiers amid a dispute between the Trump administration and Chancellor Friedrich Merz over Iran policy. The cut raises fresh questions about American commitment to NATO and could deepen transatlantic tensions already under pressure.
The Trump administration declared the U.S.-Iran war "terminated" via ceasefire on Friday, just as a 60-day War Powers Resolution deadline arrived requiring congressional authorization. The move lets the White House sidestep a congressional vote, but lawmakers could still challenge the framing.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says a ceasefire pauses the 48-hour War Powers Resolution clock, explaining why the Trump administration has not formally notified Congress after striking Iran and Houthi targets. The claim faces pushback from lawmakers who say the 1973 law contains no such ceasefire exception.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said Congress does not need to vote on Trump's military actions toward Iran, arguing the U.S. is 'not at war.' The stance invokes a legal threshold under the War Powers Resolution, effectively blocking mandatory congressional oversight for now. The comments came as a key deadline in the U.S.-
The Trump administration is seeking to form an international coalition to protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, per a State Department cable seen by Reuters. The strait carries roughly 20% of global oil trade, making any threat there a direct risk to energy prices worldwide.
Jerome Powell says he will step down as Fed chair in May but stay on the board of governors until 2028. Kevin Warsh, Trump's pick to replace him, passed a Senate committee vote and now heads to a full Senate confirmation vote.
A man held in a gala shooting case wrote notes naming Trump administration officials as targets, authorities say. The writings suggest political motivation, elevating the case beyond a simple violent incident. Investigators are working to determine if he acted alone.
The DOJ has indicted former FBI Director James Comey over a social media post showing seashells spelling "86 47," which prosecutors call a death threat against President Trump. This is the Trump administration's second attempt to prosecute Comey. The case turns on whether the post qualifies as a criminal threat under
Iran has reportedly offered the US a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while keeping nuclear negotiations separate. The strait carries about 20% of global oil supply, so any disruption carries major market risk. The proposal follows the Trump administration's cancellation of planned talks in Pakistan.
The Trump administration fired all 22 National Science Board members via a two-sentence email on Friday, with no reason given. The board oversees the National Science Foundation and advises Congress and the President on science and engineering policy. No replacements have been named.
Reports say Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and pause nuclear talks if the U.S. lifts its blockade and ends the conflict. The strait carries about 20% of global oil, making any closure a direct threat to energy markets. The Trump administration has said its central goal is stopping Iran from obtaining a nuclear
