Trump's Military Parade Has Washington Bracing for Tanks and Weaponry
Trains are arriving in Maryland this week loaded with military tanks that traveled more than 1,500 miles from Fort Cavazos, Texas. Flatbed trucks will haul them to Washington, DC, for the Army's 250th anniversary celebration on June 14, which falls on the same day as President Donald Trump's 79th birthday.
More than two dozen M1 Abrams tanks — each weighing more than 60 tons — are slated to parade down Constitution Avenue near the White House in a procession that until recently was not part of the Army's programming. They'll be accompanied by scores of infantry fighting vehicles and heavy artillery weaponry, plus some 6,600 soldiers as helicopters fly overhead.

Judge Blocks Detention of Mahmoud Khalil Under Foreign-Policy Provision
A federal judge in New Jersey on Wednesday blocked the Trump administration from detaining Mahmoud Khalil under a seldom-used provision of immigration law related to foreign-policy interests, putting the former Columbia student a step closer to being able to stay in the U.S. The ruling from U.S. District Judge Michael Farbiarz doesn't mean Khalil will immediately be released from an immigration detention facility in rural Louisiana.
