Trump asks Supreme Court to end deportation protections for Venezuelans in the US
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s administration urged the Supreme Court on Thursday to unwind deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans that have been temporarily left in place by a lower federal court.At issue is a decision earlier this year by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to end a form of humanitarian relief known as temporary protected status for Venezuelan migrants. A group of Venezuelan nationals covered under those protections challenged the decision as a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, which mandates specific procedures for federal agencies when implementing policy changes. They also argued that Noem’s decision was motivated by racial and political bias.A federal district court in California temporarily blocked that...

Trump ousts Waltz as national security adviser, nominates him for UN post
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has removed Mike Waltz from his post as national security adviser, and will nominate him as ambassador to the United Nations.In a post on social media, Trump thanked Waltz for his work and said he would be temporarily replaced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who will continue as America's top diplomat.Waltz had faced criticism for mistakenly adding a journalist to a chat group where sensitive military plans were discussed — a political embarrassment likely to feature during confirmation hearings for the UN post.The former Florida congressman is the first senior member of the administration to leave the White House in Trump's second term."From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor,...

Tesla dismisses report of board plan to replace Elon Musk
WASHINGTON — Tesla’s chair Robyn Denholm has rejected a Wall Street Journal report that the company’s board has begun a search process for a new CEO to replace Elon Musk.The Journal reported Wednesday that Tesla’s board contacted executive placement firms in March to look for Musk’s replacement, citing multiple unnamed sources.Denholm said in a post on Tesla’s official X account that the claim was “absolutely false,” and the board is “highly confident in his ability to continue executing on the exciting growth plan ahead.”The stunning report highlighted the volatility the electric car maker has faced in recent months, as Musk spent a significant amount of his time working for the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiatives.Tesla’s (TSLA)...

Trump tells business chiefs he needs 'little bit of time' as US economy shrinks
LOS ANGELES — President Donald Trump has asked for more time on the US economy as it contracted for the first time in three years, stoking recession fears.He said the figure was misleading because companies had stockpiled imports ahead of his imposition of tariffs.Trump, however, said $8tn (£6tn) of inward investment had been promised, which he argued would restore American manufacturing prowess.The US economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.3%, the US Commerce Department said, a sharp downturn after growth of 2.4% in the previous quarter. It comes as Trump marks 100 days in office, with opinion polls indicating public discontent over his economic stewardship.Speaking on Wednesday afternoon at a White House event attended by business leaders, Trump blamed his Democratic predecessor,...

Harvard head apologizes as scathing reports on campus prejudice released
WASHINGTON — Harvard University President Alan Garber has apologized following the release of internal reports into antisemitic and anti-Muslim prejudice at America's oldest university.The reports included testimony from students who described feeling alienated and pressured to conceal their identity from their peers and educators.In response to the findings, Harvard pledged to review its academic offerings and admissions policies -- a key demand of the White House, which accuses the Ivy League institution of failure to stamp out campus antisemitism.Two taskforces were established to look into bias at Harvard in the aftermath of last year's pro-Palestinian protests over the Israel-Gaza war."I'm sorry for the moments when we failed to meet the high expectations we...
