Border agents directed to stop deportations under Trump's asylum ban after court order, CBS News reports
By Christian Martinez (Reuters) -U.S. border agents were directed to stop deportations under President Donald Trump's asylum ban, CBS News reported Monday citing two unnamed Department of Homeland Security officials. The direction comes after a three-judge panel at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit on Friday partially granted an order that limited the asylum ban, saying it cannot be used to entirely suspend humanitarian protections for asylum seekers, according to CBS. Officials at Customs and Border Protection were instructed this weekend to stop deportations Trump's asylum ban and process migrants under U.S. immigration law, CBS said. Last month, a lower court judge blocked Trump's ban on asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that Trump had exceeded his authority when he issued a proclamation declaring illegal immigration an emergency and setting aside existing legal processes. The American Civil Liberties Union brought the challenge to Trump's asylum ban in February on behalf of three advocacy groups and migrants denied access to asylum, arguing the broad ban violated U.S. laws and international treaties. Trump has stepped up arrests of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, cracked down on unlawful border crossings and stripped legal status from hundreds of thousands of migrants since January 20. He has vowed to deport millions of people in the country illegally even as the administration has faced dozens of lawsuits across the country for its tactics.

Trump Administration Will Reinstall Confederate Statue in Washington
The Trump administration will restore and reinstall the only statue that had honored a Confederate official in the U.S. capital after demonstrators toppled and set it on fire during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. The defaced statue depicts Albert Pike, a Confederate diplomat and general who worked closely with Native Americans from slave-owning tribes that sided with the Confederacy during the Civil War and fought to protect slavery as an institution. He was also a prominent leader of the Freemasons — a secretive fraternal society that included many powerful politicians and elite figures in the 18th and 19th centuries. The bronze, 11-foot-tall statue of Mr. Pike, which had been in storage since it was toppled from its perch near the Capitol grounds five years ago, was approved by Congress in 1898 and built by an order of Freemasons. The monument's inscriptions do not directly mention Mr. Pike's ties to the Confederacy, and the statue itself depicts him as a leader to the Freemasons. Inscriptions on the monument laud Pike as a poet, a scholar, a soldier, an orator, a jurist and a philanthropist. The announcement by the National Park Service on Monday was the latest component of President Trump's sweeping effort to restore Confederate symbols in the military and in public spaces. Earlier this year, Mr. Trump directed the military to restore the names of all Army bases that had been named for Confederate generals and signed an executive order calling for the restoration of public monuments that were removed during the racial justice protests that followed the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer in 2020. Plans to erect the statue were opposed by groups of veterans who had fought for the Union just 30 years prior. Protests and calls for the statue's removal then swelled in the 1990s, as critics pointed to accusations that Mr. Pike had joined the Ku Klux Klan after the war — a claim others have disputed. The District of Columbia Council in Washington passed a resolution in 1992 calling for the statue to be removed and renewed the request in 2017. Mr. Pike's role in the Civil War centered on Native American tribes on the western frontier who were caught between the United States and the Confederacy during the Civil War. Mr. Pike was appointed as a Confederate diplomat to those tribes, and he negotiated alliances with slave-owning tribes — offering the tribes statehood and congressional representation in the Confederacy. A condition of the alliance was a declaration by the tribes that 'the institution of slavery in the said nation is legal and has existed from time immemorial.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
