Trump admin updates: US military is preparing for possible activation of National Guard in DC

The Trump administration filed an emergency petition with the Supreme Court Thursday seeking a green light to resume some immigration enforcement tactics in central California that a federal judge had found unlawful.

The judge had concluded that "roving patrols" by DHS, apprehending immigrants solely on the basis of factors like race, accent, the type of work they do and presence at a particular location, violated the Fourth Amendment.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer says the lower court injunction is significantly interfering with federal enforcement responsibilities and must be rolled back.

Sauer also claims that the injunction across central California violates the Court's recent ruling curbing the ability of federal judges to provide relief to non-plaintiffs in a case.

The Supreme Court will likely seek a response from the ACLU respondents before making a decision.

A week after President Donald Trump blasted the Bureau of Labor and Statistics' latest job report, he invited Stephen Moore, an economist with the conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, to tout claims about the jobs data.

Moore and Trump displayed charts with figures going back to the Biden Administration, but did not make any further details as to where the reportedly unreported data came from.

Anita Dunn, who was a senior adviser under former President Joe Biden, defended him during a closed-door deposition at the House Oversight Committee Thursday, telling investigators that while she observed a "physical" decline in Biden during his four years in office, she maintained the belief that he was calling the shots and mentally engaged in decision-making at the White House.

"From what I experienced and observed in the White House, President Biden made all of the important decisions expected of someone serving as the president of the United States," Dunn told the committee, according to her prepared remarks obtained by ABC News.

Dunn refused to answer any questions from reporters as she arrived and left the deposition.

President Donald Trump announced that Stephen Miran, the current Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, will temporarily fill the Federal Reserve seat being vacated by Federal Reserve Governor Adriana D. Kugler. Miran will serve in the position until January 31st, 2026.

Miran has vocally pushed for the president's economic policies including tariffs over the last couple of months.

"He has been with me from the beginning of my Second Term, and his expertise in the World of Economics is unparalleled," the president said in a social media post.
