Trump marked his administration's 100-day milestone with a dramatic display of mugshots on the White House lawn featuring illegal immigrants accused of crimes. Reports highlighted Trump's historically low approval ratings – the worst of any president at the 100-day mark in seven decades. The Justice Department's Civil Rights Office experienced an "exodus" of staff due to mission changes.
Immigration enforcement remained central, following the previous day's Wisconsin judge arrest controversy. International news included Putin announcing a three-day Ukraine ceasefire starting May 8, major power outages affecting Spain and Portugal, and the Vatican setting May 7 for the papal conclave.
Multiple outlets reported on Trump's controversial claim that "I run the country and the world," while his comments suggesting Canadians should vote for him drew criticism. Legal challenges against Trump's tariff policies mounted as reports indicated economic disruption would be "hard to reverse."
