Trump Attacks Musk on EV Subsidies and Suggests DOGE Review
The feud between Trump and Musk continues. The president accused the Tesla CEO of benefiting excessively from electric vehicle subsidies and suggested the Department of Government Efficiency should take a look. It came after Musk threatened to ramp up his political spending to target Republicans who support Trump's tax bill. Remember, it's just last month that Musk voiced regrets over some of his comments on Trump after their dramatic breakup.

Federal judge blocks Trump administration from ending temporary legal status for many Haitians
But last week, the Department of Homeland Security announced it was terminating those legal protections as soon as Sept. 2, setting Haitians up for potential deportation. The department said the conditions in the country had improved and Haitians no longer met the conditions for the temporary legal protections. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up The ruling comes as President Donald Trump works to end protections and programs for immigrants as part of his mass deportations promises. Advertisement The judge's 23-page opinion states that the Department of Homeland Security 's move to terminate the legal protections early violates the TPS statute that requires a certain amount of notice before reconsidering a designation. 'When the Government confers a benefit over a fixed period of time, a beneficiary can reasonably expect to receive that benefit at least until the end of that fixed period,' according to the ruling. The judge also referenced the fact that the plaintiffs have started jobs, enrolled in schools and begun receiving medical treatment with the expectations that the country's TPS designation would run through the end of the year. Advertisement Manny Pastreich, president of the Service Employees International Union Local 32BJ, which filed the lawsuit, described the ruling as an 'important step' but said the fight is not over. 'We will keep fighting to make sure this decision is upheld,' Pastreich said in a statement. 'We will keep fighting for the rights of our members and all immigrants against the Trump Administration – in the streets, in the workplace, and in the courts as well. And when we fight, we win.' DHS did not immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press requesting comment. But the government had argued that TPS is a temporary program and thus 'the termination of a country's TPS designation is a possibility beneficiaries must always expect.' Haiti's TPS status was initially activated in 2010 after the catastrophic earthquake and has been extended multiple times, according to the lawsuit. Gang violence has displaced 1.3 million people across Haiti as the local government and international community struggle with the spiraling crisis, according to a report from the International Organization for Migration. There has been a 24% increase in displaced people since December, with gunmen having chased 11% of Haiti's nearly 12 million inhabitants from their home, the report said. In May, the Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to strip Temporary Protected Status from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation. The order put on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept the legal protections in place. The judge's decision in New York also comes on the heels of the Trump administration revoking legal protections for thousands of Haitians who arrived legally in the U.S. through a humanitarian parole program.

While about 50 world leaders attended an international summit in Spain on alleviating global poverty, President Donald Trump had other priorities. On Tuesday, he opened a new migrant detention center surrounded by swamp in the Everglades that he dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz.' His Republican allies in the Senate narrowly pushed through major legislation that would devote many more billions of dollars to fund immigration enforcement and Trump's mass deportation campaign. The bill would also gut various social spending programs, pushing about 17 million Americans off health care, while extending significant tax relief to the ultrarich.

MS-13 leader to be sentenced in racketeering case involving 8 murders
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — The leader of an MS-13 clique in the suburbs of New York City faces sentencing Wednesday in a federal racketeering case involving eight murders, including the 2016 killings of two high school girls that focused the nation's attention on the violent Central American street gang. Alexi Saenz pleaded guilty last year for his role in ordering and approving the killings as well as other crimes during a rash of bloody violence that prompted President Donald Trump to make several visits to Long Island and call for the death penalty for Saenz and other gang members during his first term in the White House.
