Trump to Force Migrants to Join Registry or Face Fines, Prison
The Trump administration is planning to require undocumented immigrants to join a federal registry, threatening potential fines, prison time and deportation for anyone caught failing to participate.
Adding to President Donald Trump's broad immigration crackdown, enforcement of the 'Alien Registration Requirement' is rooted in a 1940 law intended to root out subversive activities and identify anyone trying to overthrow the US government.

Trump Org launches mobile service for $47.45 a month
The Trump Organization announced Trump Mobile as its next venture on Monday, on the 10th anniversary of President Trump announcing his first bid for the White House. Why it matters: The announcement marks yet another expansion for the organization — run by the president's sons, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. — which made millions in real estate and luxury golf courses, but has pivoted to other avenues, including crypto and digital media. "One of the places where we felt there was lackluster performance was in the mobile industry," Donald Trump Jr. said from Trump Tower in New York City on Monday. State of play: Phones will be both built and remanufactured in the U.S., and the phone plan — which will cost $47.45 a month, a nod to Trump serving as the 45th and 47th U.S. president — will include unlimited data, texting and calls with over 100 countries. Trump Mobile will maintain a flat carrier fee and include a telemedicine partnership at no additional cost, with prescribing doctors available around the clock. It will also offer roadside assistance via Drive America. Customers can elect to use Trump Mobile SIM cards in their existing phones, though a new smartphone called the T1 is set for release in September and will cost $499. An image from the Trump Mobile website shows a gold-plated phone engraved with an American flag on the back. The website says the phones are made in the U.S. The call center will be based in St. Louis, Missouri, Eric Trump said. "It's about time we disrupt this space," he said. The intrigue: Trump Mobile "products and services are not designed, developed, manufactured, distributed or sold by The Trump Organization," the website said. Our thought bubble, from Axios' Ben Berkowitz: Trump Mobile is entering a crowded space that just so happens to be regulated by the president's appointees. The T1 brand on its phone is owned by the Trump Organization, effectively putting the Trump family in a manner of competition with the likes of Apple and Samsung, both of which the president has threatened to tariff heavily. Zoom out: During his 2024 campaign, the now-president promoted the sales of Trump-branded Bibles, sneakers and cologne.

Trump Org Announces ‘Trump Mobile' Cell Phone Service—Latest Bid To Cash In On Presidency
The Trump Organization announced Monday its latest venture – a cell phone service and smartphone line– with clear branding tied to President Donald Trump, the latest example of blurred lines between Trump's Oval Office position and his family's private business dealings. The service said its monthly plan will start at $47.45 per month, a nod to Trump's standing as the ... More 45th and 47th U.S. president. Trump's eldest sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump unveiled the 'Trump Mobile' entity, which will have a monthly talk, text and data plan and its own phone. Called the '47 plan,' the monthly mobile service will start at $47.45 before taxes and fees, a reference to Trump being the U.S.' 45th and 47th president, according to the Trump Mobile website. The company said its signature 'T1 Phone' will start at $499, and the website's mockup of the device 'coming soon' shows an etched American flag on the back of the phone. The 'Trump Mobile' phone will run on Google's Android operating system and will be built in the U.S., according to Eric Trump. The 'Trump Mobile' announcement comes less than a month after the president threatened to slap 25% tariffs on iPhone maker Apple and other smartphone giants for not producing their phones domestically. Donald Trump maintains 'significant control' over the Trump Organization, according to a recent U.K. filing. Since Trump won a second presidential term in November, much of the Trump family's business dealings with hazy boundaries between the public and private sectors have been in the cryptocurrency space, including launching a $TRUMP memecoin which netted top investors in the inherently worthless token a dinner with the president at his Virginia golf club. The Trump Organization has also announced several massive overseas deals in recent months, including a $1.5 billion golf club in Vietnam. Trump is worth $5.3 billion, according to our latest estimates. A majority of his wealth comes from his controlling stake in the public Trump Media & Technology Group, which trades under the ticker $DJT, the president's initials. Originally the parent company of Trump's Truth Social social media site, Trump Media has since expanded heavily into crypto, saying last month it raised $2.5 billion to purchase bitcoin, the world's most valuable crypto token. Shares of AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon all declined Monday morning despite a broader rally. Trump Media stock rose 2%.

The Latest: Trump attends G7 summit amid his trade war with US allies
President Donald Trump has arrived for the G7, or Group of Seven, summit in Canada, a country he's suggested should be annexed, as he wages a trade war with America's longstanding allies. If there's a shared mission at this year's G7 summit, which begins Monday in the Rocky Mountains, it's a desire to minimize any fireworks at a moment of combustible tensions. Here's the latest: Sen. Kaine says he'll force a vote to give Congress more of a say over military force against Iran Sen. Tim Kaine, a Virginia Democrat and a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is filing a resolution that would require that Congress authorize a declaration of war or any specific use of military force against Iran. Congress passed a similar resolution in 2020 during Trump's first term. 'It is not in our national security interest to get into a war with Iran unless that war is absolutely necessary to defend the United States. I am deeply concerned that the recent escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran could quickly pull the United States into another endless conflict,' Kaine said. The resolution requires that any hostilities with Iran must be explicitly authorized by a declaration of war or specific authorization for use of military force, but would not prevent the United States from defending itself from imminent attack. Who's attending the G7 summit? The Group of Seven comprises Canada, the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and Britain. Leaders of each nation will be in attendance. The European Union also attends, as well as other heads of state who are not part of the G7 but have been invited by Carney. These include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is expected to have her first in-person meeting with Trump, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's de facto ruler, was invited but will not attend. ▶ Read more about the G7 summit ICE is using no-bid contracts, boosting big firms, to get more detention beds Leavenworth, Kansas , occupies a mythic space in American crime, its name alone evoking a short hand for serving hard time. The federal penitentiary housed gangsters Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly — in a building so storied that it inspired the term 'the big house.' Now Kansas' oldest city could soon be detaining far less famous people, migrants swept up in President Trump's promise of mass deportations of those living in the U.S. illegally. The federal government has signed a deal with the private prison firm CoreCivic Corp. to reopen a 1,033-bed prison in Leavenworth as part of a surge of contracts U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued without seeking competitive bids. ICE has cited a 'compelling urgency' for thousands more detention beds, and its efforts have sent profit estimates soaring for politically connected private companies, including CoreCivic, based in the Nashville, Tennessee, area and another giant firm, The Geo Group Inc., headquartered in southern Florida. ▶ Read more about new immigration detention centers Trump's schedule Monday, according to the White House Trump is expected to have a busy schedule on the first day of the G7 conference. 9 a.m. — Trump participates in a bilateral meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney 10 a.m. — Trump will attend the event's official welcome 10:30 a.m. — Session one 12:30 p.m. — Session two 2:45 p.m. — Session three 5:45 p.m. — Time for a group photo 6:15 p.m. — Session four 9 p.m. — Trump will attend a 'cultural event' Error!
