All Star Panel: Constitutional Concerns Over Deportation Proposals
The Trump Administration is receiving push back from Democrats for the deportation of a Maryland man they claim was wrongfully sent to an El Salvadoran prison. This case has garnered a lot of attention in Washington, as multiple courts and political jargon have added to the complexities of the case. Critics of the Trump Administration are calling this a constitutional crisis, while others welcome this fight as an immigration mandate. Alongside this matter, there is a concern on Capital Hill that President Trump's global tariffs may affect the economy dramatically, as well as political careers following midterms.
Meanwhile, NVIDIA has agreed to invest $500 billion in the United States over the next four years, marking a major win for the Trump economic agenda and the AI race against China.
To discuss The Trump Administration's limitations on foreign policy and more, we bring in Chad Pergram FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent, Washington Bureau Chief of USA Today Susan Page, and Byron York Chief Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner.

Trump administration sues Los Angeles in latest attack on sanctuary cities
President Donald Trump escalated his war against sanctuary policies on Monday in a lawsuit blaming alleged 'rioting, looting and vandalism' in Los Angeles on the city's refusal to allow its police to enforce immigration law or cooperate with federal agents. The suit comes two months after a judge barred Trump's administration from denying federal funds to sanctuary cities, and five years after the Supreme Court rejected Trump's challenge to California's sanctuary law. 'The United States is currently facing a crisis of illegal immigration,' Trump's Justice Department said in its lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court. 'But its efforts to address the crisis are hindered by Sanctuary Cities such as the City of Los Angeles, which refuse to cooperate or share information' with immigration agents. 'Sanctuary policies were the driving force of the violence, chaos, and attacks on law enforcement that Americans recently witnessed in Los Angeles,' Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. But a state official said that as of mid-June, two weeks after Trump's deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, less than 20% of them were actually in the city. Some of those troops were sent to a rural area of Riverside County, 130 miles away, to raid a suspected marijuana farm. Meanwhile, studies contradict the administration's claims that undocumented immigrants are more dangerous than American citizens. A report last September by the National Institute of Justice, part of the U.S. Justice Department, said data from Texas showed that undocumented immigrants were arrested less than half as often as native-born Americans for crimes of drugs or violence. Similar findings were reached in October in a nationwide study by the American Immigration Council, a nonprofit that supports immigration. And in 2018, during Trump's first term, the National Institutes of Health, part of his administration, said data from all states between 1990 and 2014 'reveal that undocumented immigration does not increase violence.' In an unusual action, six Republican state legislators released a letter they addressed to Trump on Friday urging him to focus immigration enforcement on violent criminals rather than on all undocumented immigrants. 'Immigrants are essential to the fabric of America,' wrote the lawmakers, led by state Sen. Suzette Valladares, R-Santa Clarita (Los Angeles County), and federal agents should try 'to avoid the kinds of sweeping raids that instill fear and disrupt the workplace.' The Trump appointee whose office filed the suit, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli, is a Riverside Republican known for attention-seeking behavior while serving in the state Assembly from 2022 to 2024. As a legislator, he denounced gun-control advocates as 'fake leftist groups' and unsuccessfully sought to require schools to notify parents whose children identified as transgender. After a bill banning parental notification won approval in the Assembly last year, Essayli accused its supporters of 'fearmongering,' had his microphone cut off by a Democratic floor leader, then banged his fist on the desk, called the leader a 'f---ing liar' and said he 'wasn't prepared to address the Chinese Communist Party house today.' Kevin Johnson, an immigration law professor and former law school dean at UC Davis, called the Trump administration's latest lawsuit 'a publicity measure.' 'There is no evidence that undocumented immigrants commit crimes at rates higher than U.S. citizens,' Johnson told the Chronicle. 'In fact, the data shows the opposite.' 'It was Trump's immigration enforcement in the Los Angeles area that prompted the massive protests, not the fact that Los Angeles was a sanctuary city,' said Stephen Yale-Loehr, an immigration law professor at Cornell University and author of multiple books on the subject. Trump took control of California's National Guard on June 7, saying its forces were needed to protect federal immigration agents and property from violence in protests against workplace raids. While a federal appeals court has allowed the deployment to continue, California officials are still urging the courts to conclude that the action is both illegal and dangerous. California's 2018 sanctuary law, the first in the nation, prohibits local and state officers from notifying immigration agents of the release dates of undocumented immigrants in their custody and holding them so that they can be picked up for deportation. The law does not apply to immigrants convicted of violent crimes. In a lawsuit by Trump's first administration, the law was upheld in 2018 by U.S. District Judge John Mendez of Sacramento, an appointee of President George W. Bush. 'California's decision not to assist federal immigration enforcement in its endeavors is not an 'obstacle' to that enforcement effort,' Mendez wrote. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld his ruling, and the Supreme Court denied review of Trump's appeal in June 2020, with only Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas voting to take up the case. U.S. District Judge William Orrick III of San Francisco cited that case in his ruling April 24 prohibiting the current Trump administration from withholding billions of dollars in federal funding from San Francisco and other local governments with sanctuary policies. As part of that case, multiple Bay Area law enforcement officials submitted declarations with the court detailing how sanctuary policies make things safer for all residents – the opposite of the Trump administration's contention. Sanctuary policies 'create an environment where individuals can be candid and forthcoming with law enforcement, and feel comfortable reporting crimes, serving as witnesses, and assisting with investigations,' San Francisco Sheriff Paul Miyamoto wrote in a declaration. He also said that responding to federal notification requests takes deputies' time away from ensuring the safety of those they're charged with protecting. But while there has been little change in the Supreme Court's membership in the last five years – only Trump's appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg – Yale-Loehr said the judicial climate seems to have changed. 'The Supreme Court has taken up many emergency appeals by the Trump administration this year,' the Cornell law professor said. 'Also, the court is more conservative now than in 2020. So we could see a ruling on sanctuary jurisdictions sometime this year.'

NC GOP field ‘frozen' as Lara Trump weighs Senate bid
When Lara Trump considered jumping into the North Carolina Senate race four years ago, one of the most encouraging voices was her father-in-law. President Donald Trump told his daughter-in-law to seize the moment, according to three people close to Lara Trump. Like others in this story, they were granted anonymity to discuss internal conversations. 'You should do it,' he told her, one of the three people said. She would have, if not for having two young children, ages 1 and 3, at the time, the people said. Now, the younger Trump — who has previously had ambitions to hold elected office — is at a crossroads again amid Sen. Thom Tillis' announcement that he won't seek reelection. And while she weighs her options, the rest of the state GOP is at a standstill. 'The field is gonna be frozen,' said one political operative close to the White House. 'She has the right of first refusal.' Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley, who also served as the head of the state party, is interested in running but won't make a play until he knows Lara's decision, two people who know him say. There are several other Republicans eyeing the seat but with little name recognition or ability to raise money, they know they're second or third fiddle to the president's daughter-in-law and wouldn't dare ask for Trump's favor while she's still considering a run. 'I think people are really smart enough to not go in there,' said another person close to the White House. 'Everybody's kind of just been like, 'it's Lara's if she wants it,' The ball is in Lara Trump's court. It's that simple.' The White House and Lara Trump did not respond to requests for comment. But at least one person close to Lara Trump was skeptical she'd decide to enter the race. Her children are still young. And she's also making good money, the person said, through TV and podcast gigs as well as paid speeches, not to mention work with the Trump Organization. 'She'd have to give it all up,' the person said. But there's no doubt among Republicans that if she decides to run, she'll have the backing of the MAGA movement and that she'll clinch the nomination. Some political operatives think Lara Trump has as late as the fall to make up her mind. Others closer to the race are hoping she'll decide in the next month or so. 'They'll do it in the time that makes sense. It'll probably be sooner rather than later,' said the person close to the White House. 'And again, I think it's going to be a personal family decision for her.' It's the same dilemma Lara Trump faced in 2021, when she announced that June she was declining to run to replace the retiring Richard Burr because of her two young children. Trump said she would not have been able to give '100 percent' to a Senate bid, while adding that she was saying no 'for now, not no forever.' Her husband, Eric Trump, in a recent interview with the Financial Times, talked about the challenges of political life with young children when asked whether he or someone in his family would consider running for office. 'The real question is: 'Do you want to drag other members of your family into it?'' Eric Trump said. 'Would I want my kids to live the same experience over the last decade that I've lived? You know, if the answer was yes, I think the political path would be an easy one, meaning, I think I could do it … And by the way, I think other members of our family could do it too.' Beyond Lara Trump's personal considerations, there are some private disagreements in the MAGA political sphere about whether she's the best candidate for a purple state. One Trump ally said she may be too MAGA for North Carolina, as Democrats are likely to turn the race into a referendum on Trump's presidency. There's concern Lara Trump's candidacy could bolster this narrative in a race against a candidate like former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. But the political operative close to the White House argued she would be a huge boost for the party. North Carolina is the only battleground that Trump has carried three times, she can raise a ton of money, and would have her father-in-law's help turning out voters. And unlike four years ago, she's battle-tested, having helped run the RNC. She hosts her own TV show on 'Fox News,' raising her profile considerably. 'I could argue that it could be a tremendous asset,' the aforementioned political operative argued. 'It's not like the party elite would have concerns — between her time on her father-in-law's campaigns and her ability to raise cash, a lot of people think she'd be formidable.'

Broadcom's AI Playbook Unfolds
Jefferies sees Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) doubling down on AI chips and networking as it targets the seven biggest LLM builders worldwide, while backing its own scale-up links to challenge Nvidia's dominance. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Sign with META. In a note led by Blayne Curtis, Jefferies reiterated Broadcom's Buy rating and nudged its price target to $315, arguing that Broadcom's ASIC roadmap remains locked in with top AI developerseven amid rumors of share losses. The firm highlights Broadcom's play in both Tomahawk and Jericho switch families to capture a scale-up networking market they forecast to be five to ten times larger than traditional scale-out setups. Broadcom is also primed to start ramping Google's Ironwood TPU in H2 2025 and plans to keep HBM production in-house to safeguard quality, with HBM4 chips already on the roadmap. As hyperscalers race to build custom AI silicon, being one of only a handful of ASIC suppliers cements Broadcom's strategic roleand gives it pricing power. Meanwhile, nipping at Nvidia's heels in high-speed interconnects could unlock a massive new revenue stream, since scale-up networks are critical for linking ever-larger GPU and TPU clusters. With Jefferies forecasting continued engagement from leading AI players and Broadcom's own supply-chain controls in place, the firm expects AVGO to outpace peers in capturing both chip and networking budgetskey drivers as the AI infrastructure boom accelerates.
