Trump admin asks SC to allow quick third-country deportations to continue

President Donald Trump's administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to again clear the way for continued quick deportations of immigrants to third countries where they have no ties. The government asked for an immediate halt to lower court orders finding that people must have the chance to object before the US government deports them to countries other than their homelands. The justices previously allowed the deportation flights to temporarily continue when the case came before them last year. Since then, an appeals court has upheld a Boston-based judge's final ruling that migrants must have a meaningful chance to argue a third-country deportation would put them in danger of persecution or torture. The ruling didn't prohibit those deportations outright but it lengthens the process. The government argues it has already led to the cancellation of a flight carrying 70 people with criminal convictions to three different countries. "The government has been able to remove thousan

Trump, Xi review ties, vow to chart future course over common interests

At the state dinner in the East Room of the White House, Trump and Xi raised a toast to the countries' relationship. "Americans and Chinese have always exchanged goods, knowledge, customs, and ideas. This has been the foundation of commerce and mutual respect between our countries, and together we can continue to build a relationship that promotes prosperity and security for future generations," Trump said. In his remarks, Xi said that China-US relations have come to another historical ...

Judge orders Trump to restore White House access to CNN, MS NOW, Politico

A federal judge early Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's move to ban three news outlets from the White House grounds and said CNN, MS NOW and Politico must have their access restored. It's the latest development in an escalating showdown between President Donald Trump and media outlets whose coverage he dislikes. Trump announced he was banning the outlets Sept. 18, assailing what he called "fake news." More recently, the president has said negative coverage was dangerous for the country. The outlets argued they were singled out because of the content of their coverage - in other words, viewpoint discrimination - and called the ban a "blatant violation" of the First Amendment. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly - who Trump nominated in 2017 and who ordered a CNN journalist's access restored in a similar case in 2018 - heard arguments Wednesday and ended the hearing without ruling. On Thursday, he issued a temporary restraining order that will be in effect for 14 da

US diplomats told to use term 'super intelligence' for AI after Trump call

The State Department is ordering diplomats in its international organisations bureau to use the term "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence" in all communications following President Donald Trump's attempt to rebrand the technology in his address to the UN General Assembly this week. "Following the president's remarks at the GA today, please change all references of Artificial Intelligence' to Super Intelligence' in our documents and positions. We will be using SI' in all remarks, positions and press elements moving forward," said an email sent Tuesday to employees by Michael Drager, deputy assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of International Organization Affairs.

Trump suggests Ukraine deal could be close while meeting with Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with his US counterpart Donald Trump and said he trusted that the White House can help end Russia's 4-year war on his country - even as attacks from both sides keep escalating. "I hope that we will end this war, and President Trump will help us help us end this war," Zelenskyy said on Tuesday, joining Trump at the UN General Assembly in New York, where the Ukrainian president was meeting with world leaders. That meeting occurred after Russian missiles and drones struck at least four Ukrainian regions overnight, strikes that officials said killed five people. Zelenskyy also said that his country's forces had damaged two more Russian oil refineries in their latest long-range strikes. The continuing exchange of aerial attacks, even as front-line positions remain largely unchanged. Trump previously had called on Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries and other infrastructure used to produce and distribute diesel, saying the attac
