TWO OF PRESIDENT TRUMP's highest-profile legal battles appear to be headed to the Supreme Court.
The Trump administration on Monday asked the high court to intervene after a federal judge ordered the federal government to rehire about 16,000 probationary workers across several agencies and departments.
The firings were deemed illegal, forcing the administration to bring the workers back.
That ruling was a major blow to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which suffered another legal setback Monday when a federal judge blocked DOGE access to troves of sensitive personal data from three federal agencies.
LEGAL FIGHT OVER DEPORTATIONS ESCALATES
Meanwhile, Attorney General Pam Bondi expects the Supreme Court “will get involved” in the battle over whether Trump has the power to swiftly deport illegal immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg on Monday refused to lift his block on the Trump administration’s attempted use of the war powers act to deport Venezuelans, saying the alleged Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang members deserve hearings before they’re deported.
“Because the named Plaintiffs dispute that they are members of Tren de Aragua, they may not be deported until a court has been able to decide the merits of their challenge," Boasberg said.
Trump lashed out at Boasberg once again Monday, comparing him to the New York judge who handled his hush money case.
Chief Justice John Roberts released a rare statement last week rebuking Trump and some Republicans who called for Boasberg to be impeached and removed.
A three-judge federal appeals panel will hold a hearing on the matter Monday afternoon, as the Trump administration seeks to overturn Boasberg’s temporary restraining order and have him removed from the case.
The Trump administration is continuing with deportations that fall outside of the Alien Enemies Act.
A plane with nearly 200 immigrants was sent to Venezuela over the weekend after the U.S. reached an agreement with President Nicolás Maduro to resume repatriation flights, while three alleged TdA members will be extradited to Chile.
Despite Madura’s move, Trump said Monday he’ll slap a “secondary tariff” on Venezuela, accusing the country of sending criminal gang members to the U.S.
The U.S. will impose a 25 percent tariff on countries that purchase oil and gas from Venezuela, Trump said on Truth Social.
NATSEC FALLOUT OVER TRUMP TEAM'S GROUP CHAT
The Trump administration’s national security team is dealing with the embarrassing fallout after it apparently included a journalist in a chat group in which top administration officials discussed imminent attacks on Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, claimed he connected with Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz on Signal, the encrypted messaging app.
Two days later, Goldberg said he was invited into a private chat including Waltz, Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA........
