Supreme Court allows Trump to restart swift deportation of migrants away from their home countries
Authorities instead landed the plane at a U.S. naval base in Djibouti, where the migrants were housed in a converted shipping container and the officers guarding them faced rough conditions even as immigration attorneys waited for word from their clients.

The case comes amid a sweeping immigration crackdown by Republican President Donald Trump's administration, which has pledged to deport millions of people who are living in the United States illegally.

Trump says an Israel-Iran ceasefire is imminent, declaring an end to what he's calling the '12 Day War'
President Donald Trump said on Monday evening that Israel and Iran have agreed to a "complete and total" ceasefire that will begin early Tuesday morning local time. Trump said in a Truth Social post just after 6 pm Eastern that a ceasefire will begin in about six hours, once Israel and Iran finish any attacks that are in progress, and that the pause in fighting will lead to an end to their brief but intense conflict. Details were limited, but the president wrote that "officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World." The ongoing Israel-Iran conflict does not officially have a name, but Trump wrote in his social media post that he "would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR.'" The ceasefire announcement comes just days after the US struck Iran's nuclear program, prompting Iranian retaliation against an American airbase, and shortly after the Israeli military said its fighter jets had carried out airstrikes in western Iran, targeting underground military infrastructure. Israel, on June 13, announced the start of a new operation that officials said was aimed at degrading Iran's nuclear program and its military capabilities. Since then, Israeli combat aircraft have conducted strikes across Iran, targeting its nuclear facilities, top scientists, senior commanders, bases, air defenses, missile launchers, weapons production sites, and more high-profile military infrastructure. Iran has retaliated by launching hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel. Over the weekend, the US military joined Israel in its offensive against Iran and bombed three Iranian nuclear facilities, an unprecedented move and a major escalation. Tehran retaliated on Monday by launching a volley of ballistic missiles at Al Udeid in Qatar, America's largest base in the Middle East. However, Qatar said the attack was intercepted, and US officials said there were no reports of casualties. Trump later said Iran had telegraphed ahead of time that it was going to respond, suggesting that Iran may have calibrated its strikes to signal its frustration while also avoiding serious escalation. The president then encouraged Iran and Israel to find a peaceful approach moving forward. The two countries have not made public announcements about the ceasefire. The Trump administration has tried to reach lasting ceasefires in Ukraine and Gaza. None of the efforts have panned out. It remains to be seen if this ceasefire will take effect and hold.

Trump announces ceasefire between Iran and Israel after Iran's missile attack on US base in Qatar

(Chip Somodevilla/Pool Photo via AP) President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a 'complete and total ceasefire' soon after Iran launched a limited missile attack Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar , retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites . Trump posted on Truth Social that the 24-hour phased-in ceasefire will begin at approximately midnight Tuesday eastern time, giving the two countries six hours to have 'wound down and completed their in progress, final missions.' He said it would bring an 'Official END' to the war. The Israeli military declined to comment on Trump's statement and the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment. There was also no immediate comment from Iran. Iran's U.N. mission also declined to comment on Trump's ceasefire post, and the Israeli mission said it had no immediate comment. Speaking on Iranian state television, an overnight anchor repeatedly referred to a 'Trump-claimed' ceasefire, without saying whether Tehran accepted it. The anchor noted: 'Simultaneously with Trump's claim of a ceasefire, the Zionist enemy targeted several points in the cities of Tehran, Urmia and Rasht, including a residential area in the capital.'

White House redoubles pressure on Powell to cut Fed's main interest rate
This story was originally published on CFO Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CFO Dive newsletter. The Trump administration is stepping up pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut the benchmark interest rate, asserting that inflation is cooling and passage of President Donald Trump's sweeping tax and spending legislation now before Congress would inject the economy with deflationary supply-side stimulus. 'There's no reason at all for the Fed not to cut rates right now,' Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, said Monday. 'I would guess that if they see one more month of data, they're going to really have to concede that they've got the rate way too high, as President Trump said,' Hassett said in a CNBC interview. Trump this year has repeatedly urged Fed Chair Jerome Powell to reduce borrowing costs, calling on Friday for a reduction in the main rate by as much as 3 percentage points from the current level between 4.25% to 4.50%. 'We have virtually No Inflation, our Economy is doing really well,' Trump said, claiming that a big cut to the benchmark rate would annually slash U.S. interest payments by $1 trillion. Republican lawmakers on Tuesday may chime in with criticism if Powell affirms the central bank's 'wait-and-see' monetary policy approach during scheduled testimony before the House Financial Services Committee. 'For the time being, we are well positioned to wait to learn more about the likely course of the economy before considering any adjustments to our policy stance,' Powell said during a press conference Wednesday after policymakers decided to leave the main rate unchanged. Powell reiterated that the path of the economy is far from clear. 'Changes to trade, immigration, fiscal and regulatory policies continue to evolve, and their effects on the economy remain uncertain,' he said. Yet two policymakers have recently flagged signs that price pressures are declining and said the central bank may need at its July 29-30 meeting to renew the easing that it has suspended since December. 'Should inflation pressures remain contained, I would support lowering the policy rate as soon as our next meeting in order to bring it closer to its neutral setting and to sustain a healthy labor market,' Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman said Monday. The economy is losing momentum, Bowman said, putting the job market at risk of losing steam. 'With economic growth slowing, it is possible that recent softness in aggregate demand could be starting to translate into weaker labor market conditions,' Bowman said. Fed officials in a median projection released on Wednesday forecast that gross domestic product will expand just 1.4% this year, or 1.1 percentage point less than last year. In March they predicted 1.7% GDP growth in 2025. 'While still strong, the labor market appears to be less dynamic, with modest hiring rates, layoffs edging up from low levels and job gains concentrated in just a few industries,' she said. 'With inflation on a sustained trajectory toward 2%, softness in aggregate demand and signs of fragility in the labor market, I think that we should put more weight on downside risks to our employment mandate going forward,' Bowman said. Other U.S. central bankers have said recently that the inflationary impact from import duties will probably fade. Instead, like Bowman, they have warned of weakness in the labor market. 'I've been saying for probably a year that I think the important thing for central bankers to do is look through tariff effects on inflation,' Fed Governor Christopher Waller said Friday. With recent data showing price pressures easing on a monthly and 12-month basis, the central bank should consider trimming borrowing costs by 0.25 percentage point next month, Waller said. 'You'd want to start slow and bring them down, just to make sure there's no big surprises,' he said in a CNBC interview. 'But start the process — that's the key thing.' Trump administration officials, like their boss, have been unambiguous in their call for lower borrowing costs. 'The United States of America is the greatest country in the world yet it has to suffer with the highest interest rates of any first class country,' Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Friday. 'Our Federal Reserve Chair is obviously afraid of his own shadow,' Lutnick said on X. 'These high Interest Rates make no sense. Enough is enough!!!' Vice President JD Vance has also lambasted Powell this month, saying 'the refusal by the Fed to cut rates is monetary malpractice.'
