The Latest: Harvard heads to court in $2.6B lawsuit against Trump administration
If U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs decides in the university's favor, the ruling would reverse a series of funding freezes that later became outright cuts as the administration escalated its fight with the nation's oldest and wealthiest university. Such a ruling, if it stands, would revive Harvard's sprawling scientific and medical research operation and hundreds of projects.
Harvard's lawsuit accuses the administration of waging a retaliation campaign against the university after it rejected a series of demands in an April 11 letter from a federal antisemitism task force.
However, even with the nation's largest endowment at $53 billion, the university has warned it can't absorb the full cost of the federal cuts.
Federal agencies say grants can be scrapped if they no longer align with government policies
In court filings, Harvard has said the government 'fails to explain how the termination of funding for research to treat cancer, support veterans, and improve national security addresses antisemitism.'
The Trump administration denies the cuts were made in retaliation, saying the grants were under review even before the April demand letter was sent. It argues the government has wide discretion to cancel contracts for policy reasons.
Hearing begins in Harvard's lawsuit over funding cuts
A lawyer for Harvard opened the hearing by saying the Trump administration violated the university's First Amendment rights by cutting more than $2.6 billion in federal funding.
Steven Lehotsky said the government conditioned research grants on Harvard, 'ceding control' to the government over what is appropriate for students and faculty to say.
US envoy doubles down on support for Syria's government and criticizes Israel's intervention
A U.S. envoy doubled down on Washington's support for Syria's new government, saying Monday there is 'no Plan B' to working with it to unite the country still reeling from years of civil war and wracked by new sectarian violence.
In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, Tom Barrack also criticized Israel's recent intervention in Syria, calling it poorly timed and saying it complicated efforts to stabilize the region.
Barrack is ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, with a short-term mandate in Lebanon. He spoke in Beirut following more than a week of clashes in Syria's southern province of Sweida between militias of the Druze religious minority and Sunni Muslim Bedouin tribes.

Syrian government forces intervened, ostensibly to restore order, but ended up siding with the Bedouins before withdrawing under a ceasefire agreement with Druze factions. Hundreds have been killed in the fighting, and some government fighters allegedly shot dead Druze civilians and burned and looted homes.
Neighboring Israel intervened last week on behalf of the Druze, who are seen as a loyal minority within Israel and often serve in its military. Israel launched dozens of strikes on convoys of government forces in Sweida and struck the Ministry of Defense headquarters in central Damascus.
Over the weekend, Barrack announced a ceasefire between Syria and Israel. Syrian government forces have redeployed in Sweida to halt renewed clashes between the Druze and Bedouins, and civilians from both sides were set to be evacuated Monday.
Trump threatens to hold up stadium deal if Washington Commanders don't switch back to Redskins
Trump is threatening to hold up a new stadium deal for Washington's NFL team if it does not restore its old name of the Redskins, which was considered offensive to Native Americans.
Trump also said Sunday that he wants Cleveland's baseball team to revert to its former name, the Indians, saying there was a 'big clamoring for this' as well.
The Washington Commanders and Cleveland Guardians have had their current names since the 2022 seasons, and both have said they have no plans to change them back. Trump said the Washington football team would be 'much more valuable' if it restored its old name. His latest interest in changing the name reflects his broader effort to roll back changes that followed a national debate on cultural sensitivity and racial justice.
The Commanders and the District of Columbia government announced a deal earlier this year to build a new home for the football team at the site of the old RFK Stadium, the place the franchise called home for more than three decades.

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures rise as US-Japan breakthrough boosts deal hopes, with Tesla and Google on deck
US stock futures popped on Wednesday after the US struck a trade deal with Japan, lifting hopes for further tariff pacts as Wall Street got ready for Tesla (TSLA) and Alphabet (GOOGL, GOOG) earnings. Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F) rose roughly 0.5%, while S&P 500 futures (ES=F) moved up 0.4%. Contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) edged up 0.1%, following a mixed day for stocks. The new pact places a 15% tariff on imports from Japan, President Trump said — a step down from the threatened 25% duties set to hit next week. For its part, Tokyo will make $550 billion in US investment. "It's a great deal for everybody," Trump said late Tuesday. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs The major-partner breakthrough lifted optimism that more trade deals will be sealed before Aug. 1, when Trump's sweeping tariffs kick in. Economists believe that if tariffs then average out at 15%, that would be manageable for the global economy, limiting damage. The deal's confidence boost for markets after months of tariff uncertainty is likely to fuel this week's record-setting run in the S&P 500 (^GSPC), which eked out another all-time closing high on Tuesday. But the rally faces a big test in Google-parent Alphabet and Tesla's earnings due after the bell, the first of the "Magnificent Seven" to report. Tesla CEO Elon Musk's rocky relationship with Trump is looming large over the EV maker's earnings. With its stock down nearly 18% year-to-date, investors are watching for updates on the company's core auto business and its robotaxi rollout. With Alphabet, investors are looking for signs that AI investments are starting to pay off as the company pours billions into the technology. A federal judge's decision that could force the company to sell Google Chrome will also be in focus. Meanwhile, investors will scour Wednesday's flurry of quarterly earnings for more insight into how Corporate America is coping with tariffs, after Texas Instruments' (TXN) soft guidance fed fears. Highlights on the docket include Chipotle (CMG), AT&T (T), IBM (IBM), and Alaska Air (ALK).

At the same time, Enphase faces the fallout from Trump's cuts to tax incentives in the renewable energy sector.

Dallas-area ICE arrests of noncriminals skyrocketed
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests of people without criminal charges or convictions in the Dallas area soared in June, per data compiled by the Deportation Data Project. Why it matters: The surge follows a national trend that coincides with the Trump administration's decision on May 21 to triple ICE's arrest quota. By the numbers: In January, ICE agents arrested 1,085 total people in the Dallas Field Office region, which includes North Texas, the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma. As of June 26 — the most recent data available — the monthly arrest figure increased 59% to 1,726. Zoom in: The monthly share of Dallas-area ICE detainees without criminal charges or convictions more than doubled, from 197 in January (18% of all arrests) to 524 (30%) in June. The big picture: Nationwide, people without criminal charges or convictions made up an average of 47% of daily ICE arrests in early June, up from about 21% in early May, before the quota increase. The other side: "The media continues to peddle this FALSE narrative that ICE is not targeting criminal illegal aliens," Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to Axios. McLaughlin added that 70% of ICE arrests were for immigrants with criminal convictions or pending charges, but did not elaborate on that figure. Between the lines: " ICE has the authority to arrest immigrants who are suspected of violating immigration laws, regardless of criminal history," writes Austin Kocher, research assistant professor at Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and immigration expert, in an analysis of the new data. "Nevertheless, the administration has gone to great lengths in the press and on social media to emphasize the criminality of people they are arresting. Both things can be true, of course."

NJ Democrats rip DOJ over removal of Habba successor
New Jersey Democratic Sens. Cory Booker and Andy Kim slammed the Trump administration on Tuesday for failing to uphold the court ordered appointment of Alina Haba's successor to serve as the state's interim U.S. attorney. Desiree Leigh Grace, Habba's first assistant, was tapped by the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey to lead the office upon the expiration of her 120-day temporary term. But, on Tuesday, Grace was 'removed' from the post by the Justice Department (DOJ). 'Trump's Department of Justice is once again criticizing a court that acted within its authority, continuing a pattern of publicly undermining judicial decisions and showing disregard for the rule of law and the separation of powers,' Booker and Kim said in a statement. 'The firing of a career public servant, lawfully appointed by the court, is another blatant attempt to intimidate anyone that doesn't agree with them and undermine judicial independence,' the duo continued. 'This Administration may not like the law, but they are not above it.' DOJ officials have accused the Democratic senators of plotting to oust Habba, who failed to be confirmed by judges for a long-term position. 'They forced out President Trump's pick, @USAttyHabba, then installed her deputy, colluding with the NJ Senators along the way. It won't work,' Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche wrote on social platform X, referring to Booker and Kim. 'Pursuant to the President's authority, we have removed that deputy, effective immediately,' he added. 'This backroom vote will not override the authority of the Chief Executive.' Attorney General Pam Bondi said, 'politically minded judges refused to allow her to continue in her position.' Habba received a considerable amount of backlash after initiating charges against Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D) and Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.) stemming from an incident at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the Garden State. Both Baraka and McIver denied the accusations resulting in charges dropped against the Newark mayor. Baraka has sued Habba for damages over his arrest. A federal judge said the New Jersey mayor's arrest suggested a 'worrisome misstep' by Habba's office, noting the 'apparent rush' in bringing the case that culminated in the government's 'embarrassing' retraction of the charge. 'The people of New Jersey deserve a U.S. Attorney who will enforce the law and pursue justice for the people of our state without partisanship or politics,' Booker and Kim said on Tuesday, following Habba's failure to be retained as the state's top federal prosecutor.
