24.05.2025 ⇢ Immigration Courtroom Arrests and National Security Purge
⌨
The newspapers report a significant shift in immigration enforcement tactics, with ICE arresting immigrants as they leave courtrooms after case dismissals. Multiple reports describe families separated and even a U.S. citizen with REAL ID detained then released. This follows the previous day's Harvard international student ban, which faced a judicial setback when a judge blocked the administration's effort.
A major national security shakeup emerged with over 100 staffers removed from the National Security Council in what HuffPost called a "bloodbath." The Pentagon imposed strict new press restrictions under Secretary Hegseth.
Trump addressed West Point graduates, mixing praise with political grievances about "drag shows" and "hypersonic rockets." This speech followed his earlier crackdown on DEI at military academies.
Meanwhile, Trump's tariff threats against the EU intensified, with CNN reporting he's "not looking for a deal," risking a trade war "years in the making."
