Good evening. It’s Tuesday, May 13.
The Wisconsin judge who allegedly helped an illegal migrant evade immigration authorities was indicted by a federal jury Tuesday.
Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was led away in handcuffs while still in her black judicial robe last month after being accused of obstruction of justice and concealing Mexican national Eduardo Flores-Ruiz from federal law enforcement at the end of a pre-trial hearing.
The high-profile arrest led to outcry from Democrats as the Department of Justice defended its action against the veteran jurist.
A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Trump can invoke the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) to remove Tren de Aragua members but determined the administration has provided insufficient notice before carrying out the deportations.
U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haines’s ruling contrasts with several other federal judges who have ruled Trump illegally invoked the wartime statute. She says Trump is within his rights to deport members of a foreign terrorist organization — a designation he has made for Tren de Aragua.
Haines, a Trump appointee, emphasized her “unflagging obligation is to apply the law as written.”
US President Donald Trump signed a host of economic and bilateral cooperation agreements in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, as he kicked off a four-day Middle East trip with a focus on dealmaking with a key Mideast ally while shared concerns about Iran’s nuclear program and the war in Gaza dragged on in the background.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi de facto ruler, warmly greeted Trump as he stepped off Air Force One at King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital. The two leaders then retreated to a grand hall at the Riyadh airport, where Trump and his aides were served traditional Arabic coffee by waiting attendants wearing ceremonial gun belts.
“I really believe we like each other a lot,” Trump said later during a brief appearance with the crown prince at the start of a bilateral meeting.
President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would cease sanctions against war-torn Syria “to give them a chance at greatness,” as he seeks to strengthen ties to Saudi Arabia and others.
“Oh, what I do for the crown prince,” Trump said as Mohammed bin Salman, seated in the front row, crossed his arms over his chest in an expression of gratitude.
“It’s their time to shine,” Trump added. “Good luck, Syria. Show us something very special, like they’ve done, frankly, in Saudi Arabia, OK? They’re going to show us something special. Very good people.”
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin hinted Monday that he’s preparing to roll back one car feature that every driver “hates.”
“Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy,” Zeldin tweeted Monday in a post that has since racked up more than 8 million views.
“EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it.”
Dozens of advocates who’ve spent years in the Capitol’s hallways pushing for terminally ill New Yorkers to legally end their own lives with a physician’s aid are finally seeing hope.
With the Assembly having passed the Medical Aid in Dying Act last month, all eyes are on the Senate, where Democratic support for the measure has continued to grow over the last few years.
Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said today she will move the bill once her conference amasses enough support for a floor vote.
A Colorado single mom who managed to beat cancer four times was killed when a stranger who claimed he was just cleaning his gun fired bullets into her home, cops said.
Jennifer James, 49, was fatally shot when 20-year-old Ebenezer Worku allegedly opened fire from his car while parked outside the victim’s house in Berthoud, north of Denver, on April 28.
The gunman told police that he accidentally shot at the home with his Glock 22 handgun — and then fired again when he was trying to clear the chamber, KDVR reported, citing a police affidavit.
