Judge says Trump administration likely acted in contempt for not turning around deportation flights
WASHINGTON — A federal judge in the United States has said he has found probable cause to hold President Donald Trump’s administration in criminal contempt of court for violating his orders to turn around planes carrying deportees to El Salvador.US District Judge James E.

Frustrated voters tell Republicans to push back against Trump
WASHINGTON — Republicans faced frustrated constituents at town hall meetings Tuesday, offering a glimpse at the building anger over Donald Trump’s sweeping overhaul of the federal government among portions of the electorate — and, in the face of it, the deference GOP lawmakers continue to show the president.In Iowa, Sen. Chuck Grassley was repeatedly urged to stand up to Trump and push back against the executive branch.“We would like to know what you, as the people, the Congress, who are supposed to rein in this dictator, what are you going to do about it?” one man asked Grassley.In Georgia, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s highly scripted event marked a dramatic departure from the town hall held by the Senate’s most senior Republican. Instead of taking questions face-to-face,...
