For the White House, when you’re wrong, you’re right

Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents wrongfully
deported Maryland resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador
last month. Abrego Garcia currently sits in a maximum security
prison there, despite holding legal immigration status and no
criminal record. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled that the
Trump administration should facilitate Abrego Garcia’s return,
but the White House says it’s Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele’s
responsibility instead. Neither Trump nor Bukele expressed
interest in returning Abrego Garcia to the U.S. What does this
Trump-court showdown mean for the balance of power in our
government?


Outside of immigration, the White House’s administrative
crackdowns continue on college campuses. Federal officials sent
Harvard University a letter demanding it end its DEI programs and
enforce stricter rules on campus antisemitism. The school
refused. Lawyers for the university claimed the government’s
demands violate Harvard’s First Amendment rights. In retaliation,
the Trump administration threatened to cut $2 billion in federal
funding. Can the White House continue to threaten private
universities if they don’t do their bidding? Are there ulterior
motives behind the administration’s focus on antisemitism?
