The Supreme Court just told the Trump administration it must facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — a Maryland father wrongly deported to El Salvador, where he’s now locked in a notorious prison. But here’s the catch: the court stopped short of saying he actually has to be brought back. The ruling keeps a federal judge’s order in place — but asks her to clarify how far the government must go.

House Republicans are moving forward with a controversial bill that critics say is a backdoor attempt at voter suppression. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act would require Americans to provide documentary proof of citizenship in person to register for federal elections. However, it’s already illegal for noncitizens to vote, and data show voter fraud is exceedingly rare. Multiple audits, including those in Georgia and North Carolina, found only a few cases among millions of voters.

China did not back down, instead retaliating by more than doubling its tariffs on U.S. goods from 34% to 84%. The ripple effects were immediate: Wall Street tumbled and global markets lost trillions of dollars.
