Prior Cybertruck recalls involved failing windshield wipers, trapped accelerator pedals, possible loss of drive power to the wheels, and other issues
Tesla makes largest ever Cybertruck recall
WASHINGTON — Thousands of Tesla Cybertrucks have been recalled in the US due to concerns about part of the electric car's trim falling off in the model's eighth and largest-ever recall.The issue affects more than 46,000 trucks made starting in November 2023, which analysts say amounts to nearly all Cybertrucks.It comes as Tesla, which did not respond to a request for comment, grapples with falling sales amid a backlash against the firm and its boss Elon Musk.On Thursday, US Attorney General Pam Bondi said three unnamed people would face charges for setting fire to Tesla cars and charging stations, accusing them of "domestic terrorism".Tesla does not break out sales of the Cybertruck, but car tech firm Cox Automotive has estimated roughly 39,000 were sold in the US last...

US denies French claims a space researcher was expelled over messages about Trump
WASHINGTON — Competing narratives have emerged between Washington and Paris over why a researcher was recently denied entry to the United States, in the latest example of an immigration refusal under the Trump administration testing international relations.France on Thursday said the unnamed researcher was blocked from entering the US earlier this month after authorities found messages about President Donald Trump on his phone. US officials have since rejected that claim and said the researcher held “confidential information” on an electronic device.France’s minister of higher education and research Philippe Baptiste said that the researcher was traveling to a conference near Houston on March 9 when US authorities found that his phone “contained exchanges with colleagues and...

The executive order comes as the US president tries to reduce America's reliance on imports of the vital materials
Trump uses emergency powers to boost mineral production
WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump has invoked emergency powers to expand domestic production of critical minerals as he tries to reduce US reliance on imports from countries like China. The executive order, which uses cold war era legislation, instructs government agencies, including the defense department, to prioritise mining projects as well as providing technical and financial support to boost critical mineral production. It comes as a trade war escalates with China, which has overwhelming control over the supply chain of some critical minerals. Last year, Beijing banned the sale of some critical minerals to the US, forcing American firms to look for other sources of the vital materials. "Our national and economic security are now acutely threatened by our...

Trump signs executive order to begin dismantling Education Department
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order to begin dismantling the US Department of Education, seeking to fulfill decades of conservative ambition to get rid of the agency, but raising new questions for the country’s millions of public schools, student-loan holders and parents.No president in modern history has tried to close down a Cabinet-level agency. Shutting down the department wholesale would require an act of Congress, which created the agency in 1979. Trump officials acknowledge they don’t have the necessary votes to dissolve the department that way; instead, the order Trump signed Thursday instructed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take “all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return education...

Venezuela’s Maduro calls US deportation of migrants to El Salvador ‘kidnapping'
CARACAS — Venezuela’s leader has described the deportation of more than 200 mostly Venezuelan migrants sent by the United States to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador as “kidnapping,” and denied they are criminals while backing calls for their return.“Nayib Bukele should not be an accomplice to this kidnapping, because our boys did not commit any crime in the United States, none,” Nicolas Maduro told supporters Wednesday, referencing El Salvador’s leader, who has struck a deal with US President Donald Trump.“They were not brought to trial, they were not given the right to a defense, the right to due process, they were deceived, handcuffed, put on a plane, kidnapped, and sent to a concentration camp in El Salvador,” Maduro added.The Venezuelan leader, who has ruled...

Myrelis Casique López insists her son is innocent and not a gang member
'It's him, it's him!' — Mother spots son deported from US in mega-prison footage
WASHINGTON — In a poor neighborhood of the Venezuelan city of Maracay, the mother of 24-year-old Francisco José García Casique was waiting for him on Saturday.It had been 18 months since he had migrated to the US to begin a new life but he had told her that he was now being deported back to Caracas, Venezuela's capital, for being in the US illegally.

Federal judge says Elon Musk exceeded his authority, halts further shuttering of USAID
WASHINGTON — Billionaire Elon Musk appears to have overstepped his executive branch authority with his Department of Government Efficiency, a federal judge said Tuesday as he indefinitely blocked the dismantling of USAID.“The court finds that Defendants’ unilateral actions to shut down USAID likely violated the United States Constitution,” said Judge Theodore D. Chuang of the US District Court in Maryland.Chuang said that DOGE cannot terminate any more contracts or grants of USAID, nor can it fire or put on leave any more employees. He also cut off DOGE staffers from sharing sensitive personal data kept by the agency, in a major win for groups broadly challenging Musk’s role in the federal government.The ruling, placing a preliminary injunction on DOGE, is one of the first major...

Google agrees to pay $28m in racial bias lawsuit
