Wall Street opens lower as Trump's tariff deadline nears
The U.S. will warn trading partners that higher tariffs could kick in Aug. 1.
Futures for the S&P 500 fell 0.3% before the opening bell, while futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped less than 0.1%. Nasdaq futures slid 0.5%.
Trump and his top trade advisers said over the weekend that the president could extend the tariff deadline if countries were making concessions and negotiating in good faith.
'We expect markets to be volatile into the 9-July deadline when the 90-day pause on President Trump's reciprocal tariffs expires for non-China trading partners,' the Nomura Group wrote in a commentary.
The near-term outlook will likely hinge on several key factors like the extent to which trading partners are included in Trump letters, the rate of tariffs, and the effective date of such tariffs, according to Nomura.
'With the July 9 tariff deadline fast approaching, all eyes are trained on Washington, scanning for signs of escalation or retreat. The path forward isn't clear, but the terrain is littered with risk,' Stephen Innes, managing partner at SPI Asset Management said in a commentary.
In equities trading, Tesla tumbled 6.5% as the feud between CEO Elon Musk and Trump reignited over the weekend. Musk, once a top donor and ally of Trump, announced that he was forming a third political party in protest over the Republicans' spending bill that passed late last week.
Trump criticized Musk in a social media post, suggesting that Musk's disappointment in the bill was because the legislation ended an 'electric vehicle mandate,' which Trump says Musk knew was coming.
Investors fear that Musk's companies, which receive significant subsidies from the federal government, could suffer further if his feud with Trump continues to escalate.
Molina Healthcare tumbled 6% after the insurer lowered its profit guidance due to rapidly accelerating costs. UnitedHealth Group also recently reported a spike in costs that forced it to cut its forecast, sending its stock tumbling in April.
Oil prices fluctuated after OPEC+ agreed on Saturday to raise production in August by 548,000 barrels per day.
U.S. benchmark crude was essentially unchanged early Monday at $67 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, gained 40 cents to $68.70 per barrel.
At midday in Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 inched up 0.1%, while Germany's DAX added 0.8%. In Paris, the CAC 40 was up 0.2%.

Trump says he's considering 'taking away' Rosie O'Donnell's US citizenship
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he is considering 'taking away' the U.S. citizenship of a longtime rival, actress and comedian Rosie O'Donnell, despite a decades-old Supreme Court ruling that expressly prohibits such an action by the government. 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship,' Trump wrote in a social media post on Saturday. He added that O'Donnell, who moved to Ireland in January, should stay in Ireland 'if they want her.' The two have criticized each other publicly for years, an often bitter back-and-forth that predates Trump's involvement in politics. In recent days, O'Donnell on social media denounced Trump and recent moves by his administration, including the signing of a massive GOP-backed tax breaks and spending cuts plan. It's just the latest threat by Trump to revoke the citizenship of people with whom he has publicly disagreed, most recently his former adviser and one-time ally, Elon Musk. But O'Donnell's situation is notably different from Musk, who was born in South Africa. O'Donnell was born in the United States and has a constitutional right to U.S. citizenship. The U.S. State Department notes on its website that U.S. citizens by birth or naturalization may relinquish U.S. nationality by taking certain steps – but only if the act is performed voluntary and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship. Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, noted the Supreme Court ruled in a 1967 case that the Fourteen Amendment of the Constitution prevents the government from taking away citizenship. 'The president has no authority to take away the citizenship of a native-born U.S. citizen," Frost said in an email Saturday. 'In short, we are nation founded on the principle that the people choose the government; the government cannot choose the people.' Responding to Trump Saturday, O'Donnell wrote on social media that she had upset the president and 'add me to the list of people who oppose him at every turn.'

ICE arrests more than double throughout the country, including California
Recent federal immigration enforcement activity in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles on July 7 and the raids of two agricultural facilities in Carpinteria and Camarillo on July 10 have shown that the Trump administration's immigration crackdown has not been all talk, and a recent New York Times article has numbers to back it. The New York Times recently analyzed the different arrest numbers reported and compiled them by state, showing that numbers have more than doubled in 38 states. President Trump has directed the Department of Homeland Security to increase immigration arrests. The Freedom of Information Act data from the University of California, Berkeley, has shown that ICE has averaged around 666 daily arrests since January. Arrests have doubled in at least 38 states, and in a state like Idaho, which does not have as many immigrants, a 924% increase was reported. How many ICE arrests have there been in California? California is one of the states with the state with the largest population of illegal immigrants. The Pew Research Center estimated about 11 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S as of 2022. California had the highest number of unauthorized immigrants at 1.8 million, followed closely by Texas with 1.6 million and Florida with 1.2 million. The Times' reporting showed that the Golden State's arrests numbers have increased by 123% since 2024. There have been an estimated in 5,860 arrests in the state since the beginning of the year. The states with the greatest increase in states are: Which states have the most ICE arrests? Texas tops the list with the most reported ICE arrests this year at 20,150 arrests, more than the runner-up. The five states with the most ICE arrests in 2025, so far: More arrests may not mean more immediate departures While the arrests have jumped, the deportation numbers are not yet on pace to reach a million a year, but it isn't impossible, according to Kathleen Bush-Joseph, a nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute policy analyst. "If you think about each step along the way, there can be increases in particular steps, but still obstacles that are not under the control, at least the immediate control of the agencies for a variety of reasons," she said, citing the ability to send people back to their countries as an example. She says two tools could be major factors in ramping up deportations. The first is the 287(g) agreement, in which local law enforcement works with ICE. In those cases, particularly Republican states' cooperation could create what she called a "criminal justice to deportation pipeline." The second tool is expedited removal, which can happen in hours but was historically used at the border. As of June, 15% of those detained were processed through expedited removal, without the opportunity to defend themselves in court, up from 5% at the end of 2024, the New York Times reported. If, for example, someone is being detained but cannot be deported to their country of origin, the previous standard was to release them with check-in mandates. "This administration is trying to keep everyone it can detained," she said. Funding allocated by the recent tax bill could also contribute to expedited removals and 287(g) agreements, according to Bush-Joseph.

Trump at 'Alligator Alcatraz': Facts on Florida Everglades immigration detention center
President Trump is visiting "Alligator Alcatraz," the immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades, on Tuesday, July 1. According to the White House, Trump will participate in a walking tour of the facility around 10 a.m., followed by a roundtable discussion shortly after 11 a.m. The 39-acre site is currently home to the Miami-Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he plans to use emergency powers to take over the land from Miami-Dade County. According to a statement by the Department of Homeland Security, expansion of facilities are already underway, including bringing in about 5,000 beds. Here are the top things to know about Alligator Alcatraz. What is Alligator Alcatraz? Alligator Alcatraz is a nickname for a planned immigration detention facility, Florida's version of the infamous prison in California, that is being built at a remote unused airstrip in the heart of the Florida Everglades. The location is surrounded by alligators and pythons, as a natural barrier. Where is Alligator Alcatraz located? Map shows Florida location Alligator Alcatraz is currently located at the Dade-Collier Training and Transportation Airport, which is about 40 miles from Miami International Airport. The facility was constructed in 1968 and originally known as the Everglades Jetport or Big Cypress Swamp Jetport, according to the National Park Service. The address is 54575 Tamiami Trail E, Ochopee, FL 34141 Historical facts: From airport to Alcatraz In the 1960s, the airstrip was once envisioned to be the largest airport in the United States by being five times the size of JFK International Airport. The 'South Florida Jetport' as it would have been called, would have had access to the coast via a new highway and a high-speed monorail, situated within a 1,000-foot-wide corridor that currently spans protected water conservation areas. 'Alligator Alcatraz' merch pushed by GOP With the new opening of this detention center, Florida's GOP has started selling Alligator Alcatraz merch as a way of fundraising for the center, according to a tweet from Florida GOP. The merch includes t-shirts, hats and drink coolers with prices starting from 15-30 dollars. Environmental groups sue to stop building Everglades detention center Two groups, Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity, have filed a lawsuit against the Florida Division of Emergency Management, the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to stop what they said is the "unlawful construction of a prison in the heart of the Everglades." Sierra Club Florida also is opposed to the development, which it said is "irresponsible." "This proposal is not only deeply inhumane, it is profoundly irresponsible from an environmental, ethical, and fiscal standpoint," the state chapter of the national organization said in a statement June 24. "The Everglades is a unique and fragile ecosystem — a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to countless endangered species, and a vital source of drinking water for more than nine million Floridians. To pave over a portion of this irreplaceable landscape for a high‑security prison is nothing short of ecological vandalism."
