Trump-Musk saga: After meltdown, ice age dawns on brotherhood
A White House official confirmed that President Trump has no intention of speaking with Elon Musk amidst their escalating feud, triggered by Musk's criticism of Trump's tax cut bill. This public falling-out marks a significant end to their previously close alliance, impacting Tesla's stock, which experienced a substantial single-day decline in value. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Washington: US President Donald Trump is not interested in talking with his former ally Elon Musk, amid a bitter feud over the president's sweeping tax cut bill, a White House official said on Friday, adding that no phone call between the two men is planned for the day."I'm not even thinking about poor guy's got a problem," Trump told CNN on Friday morning, though the Tesla chief had said, "You're not wrong," in response to billionaire investor Bill Ackman saying the duo should make in Musk's Tesla were over 6% higher in early trade on Friday. In Thursday's session, the stock dived 14% and lost about $150 billion in value, the largest single-day decline in the electric vehicle maker's the world's most powerful leader, and Musk, the world's richest man, battled openly in an extraordinary day of hostilities - largely over social media - that marked a stark end to a close alliance. The falling-out began brewing days ago when Musk, who left his role as DOGE head, denounced Trump's tax cut and spending X, Musk amplified remarks made by others that Trump's "big beautiful bill" would hurt Republicans politically and add to the nation's $36.2 trillion debt.

Man Mistakenly Deported Under Trump Administration Now Faces US Charges
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man mistakenly deported from Maryland to El Salvador by the Trump administration, has returned to the United States to face criminal charges of transporting illegal immigrants within the U.S., Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Friday. Abrego Garcia's return marks a turning point in a case that became a broader symbol of criticisms of President Donald Trump's aggressive immigration policies. Critics, including many congressional Democrats, pointed to the case as a sign that the administration was disregarding civil liberties in its push to step up deportations. But the administration insisted that Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, an accusation that his lawyers denied. On Friday, administration officials portrayed the indictment of Abrego Garcia by a grand jury in Tennessee as vindication of their approach - even though the charges were filed on May 21, more than two months after Abrego Garcia's March 15 deportation. At a press conference, Bondi said Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele agreed to return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. after U.S. officials presented his government with an arrest warrant. "The grand jury found that over the past nine years, Abrego Garcia has played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring," Bondi said in a press conference. Abrego Garcia will have the chance to enter a plea in court and contest the charges at trial. If he is convicted, he would be deported to El Salvador after serving his sentence, Bondi said. In a statement, Abrego Garcia's lawyer, Andrew Rossman, said it would now be up to the U.S. judicial system to ensure he received due process. "Today's action proves what we've known all along - that the administration had the ability to bring him back and just refused to do so," said Rossman, a partner at law firm Quinn Emanuel. Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador, despite an immigration judge's 2019 order granting him protection from deportation to El Salvador after finding he was likely to be persecuted by gangs if returned there, court records show. After his lawyers challenged the basis for his deportation, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate Abrego Garcia's return, with liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor saying the government had cited no basis for what she called his "warrantless arrest." U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis has opened a probe into what, if anything, the Trump administration had done to secure his return, after his lawyers accused officials of stonewalling their requests for information. That led to concerns among Trump's critics that his administration would openly defy court orders. Chris Van Hollen, a Democratic senator from Maryland who visited Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, said in a statement on Friday that the Trump administration has "finally relented to our demands for compliance with court orders and the due process rights afforded to everyone in the United States." "This is not about the man, it's about his constitutional rights," Van Hollen said. "The Administration will now have to make its case in the court of law, as it should have all along." The indictment alleges that Abrego Garcia worked with at least five co-conspirators to bring immigrants to the United States illegally, and then transport them from the border to other destinations in the country. Abrego Garcia often picked up migrants in Houston, and made more than 100 trips between Texas and Maryland between 2016 and 2025, the indictment said. The indictment also charges Abrego Garcia and two unidentified co-conspirators with transporting firearms illegally purchased in Texas for resale in Maryland. Abrego Garcia also transported illegal narcotics purchased in Texas for resale in Maryland and was on some occasions accompanied on those trips by members and associates of MS-13, according to the indictment. According to the indictment, one of Abrego Garcia's co-conspirators belonging to the same ring was involved in the transportation of migrants whose tractor trailer overturned in Mexico in 2021, resulting in 50 deaths.

Trump Can Bar Associated Press From Key White House Events For Now: US Court
United States: President Donald Trump can bar The Associated Press from some White House media events for now, a federal appeals court ruled Friday, pausing a lower court order to give access to the US news agency's journalists. AP journalists and photographers have been barred from the Oval Office and from traveling on Air Force One since mid-February because of the news agency's decision to continue referring to the "Gulf of Mexico" -- and not the "Gulf of America" as decreed by Trump. In April, district court judge Trevor McFadden deemed that move a violation of the First Amendment to the US Constitution, which guarantees freedom of speech and of the press. But on Friday, a panel of judges with the Washington-based federal appeals court ruled that, pending appeal, the government could go ahead and bar AP from "restricted presidential spaces," which it said did not fall under First Amendment protections. "The White House therefore retains discretion to determine, including on the basis of viewpoint, which journalists will be admitted," the ruling said. "Moreover, without a stay, the government will suffer irreparable harm because the injunction impinges on the President's independence and control over his private workspaces," it said. The AP, a 180-year-old organization that has long been a pillar of US journalism, has so far refused to backtrack on its decision to continue referring to the "Gulf of Mexico." In its style guide, it highlights that the Gulf of Mexico has "carried that name for more than 400 years" and the agency "will refer to it by its original name while acknowledging the new name Trump has chosen." Trump has long had an antagonistic relationship with most mainstream news media, previously describing them as the "enemy of the people." Since his return to the presidency in January, his administration has sought to radically restructure the way the White House is covered, notably by favoring conservative podcasters and influencers. Two weeks after barring the AP, the White House stripped journalists of the nearly century-old power to decide which of the profession's own number will be members of a pool of reporters and photographers covering presidential events. His administration has also pressed to dismantle US government-funded overseas outlets Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and Radio Free Asia, and is seeking to starve National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) of federal funds.
