Kilmar Ábrego García, whose case has become indicative of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration policies, was taken into custody on Monday after reporting to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in Baltimore. Speaking outside an ICE field office, Ábrego’s lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, accused officials of acting vindictively. “The only reason he was taken into detention was to punish him,” he told supporters gathered at the scene. Earlier that day, Ábrego had filed a fresh lawsuit challenging both his detention and the prospect of deportation to Uganda. Court documents filed over the weekend revealed that he had previously refused an offer…
Moscow has accused Ukraine of launching dozens of drone attacks across its territory, including one that sparked a fire at a nuclear power plant, as Kyiv marked 34 years since declaring independence from the Soviet Union.

Of the nine previous uncrewed launches since April 2023, failures have outnumbered successes.…

A federal judge has barred the Trump administration from withholding funds from 34 “sanctuary cities” and counties that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, in a ruling that widens an earlier order. The decision, issued on Friday by Judge William Orrick in San Francisco, extends protections to major cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Denver and Albuquerque. Orrick, an appointee of Barack Obama, had previously ruled it unconstitutional for the administration to freeze funding for jurisdictions with sanctuary policies, siding with cities such as San Francisco, Sacramento, Minneapolis and Seattle that had challenged President Trump’s executive orders. Those cities…
