US citizen and lawyer gets DHS letter telling him to get out of America
Adam Peña, a California attorney and citizen of the United States, says he was “stunned” to receive a self-deportation email from the Department of Homeland Security in early April, ordering him to leave within seven days.
Peña, born in El Paso, Texas, received a notice of self-deportation on April 10 in which DHS informed him his parole was ending and he had seven days to “leave the United States.”

Senate to vote on bill to rein in Trump tariffs, as economy shrinks for first time in three years
The Senate was scheduled to vote later on Wednesday on a resolution to block a range of President Donald Trump's tariffs, just hours after the federal government reported that the nation's economy contracted for the first time in three years amid the chaos created by the president's tariff policies.
The measure, introduced by Democratic Senator Ron Wyden as a privileged resolution requiring a vote by the Republican-led chamber, would terminate the national emergency that Trump declared as the basis for 10% global tariffs on U.S. trading partners and higher reciprocal tariffs on 57 trading partners, including the European Union.
At least two Republicans were expected to support the resolution. Just weeks ago, four Senate Republicans joined Democrats to pass a similar bill that aimed to terminate new tariffs on Canada. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority.
"I don't expect a big difference from what we saw last time," Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters.
The resolution is co-sponsored by Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, a vocal critic of Trump's tariff policy. Senator Susan Collins of Maine also indicated that she intends to support the measure.
“It's not perfect. I think it's too broad. But it sends the message that I want to send - that we really need to be far more discriminatory in imposing these tariffs and not treat allies like Canada the way we treat adversaries like China,” Collins told reporters.

Mexico taking 55 people a day for ‘humanitarian reasons’ after they were booted from U.S.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum revealed that her country is taking in an average of 55 foreign nationals every day since U.S. President Donald Trump took office.
Since January 20, the Trump administration has removed 38,757 migrants to Mexico. The majority of those individuals are Mexican nationals, but they aren't the only people Mexico was expecting to care for in the wake of Trump's deportations.

Duffy: ‘People will lose their lives’ unless US adopts new air traffic control system
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy asserted on Wednesday that “people will lose their lives” unless the United States invests in a new air traffic control system.
Duffy raised extreme concerns about the U.S.’s “aging” air traffic control infrastructure during a televized cabinet meeting, after President Donald Trump said he would ask Congress for funding toward the new system.
“If we don’t build a brand new system, there’s going to be failures and people will lose their lives,” Duffy said.

Trump tariffs: President says children will have to make do with less
President Donald Trump appeared to suggest that Americans should prepare to have less and for it to cost more, when asked about the impact of his tariffs on imports from China.
In response to a question following his Cabinet meeting today, the president said: “They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more.”

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has brushed aside speculation that she could be preparing a presidential run in 2028.
With her party still reeling from former vice president Kamala Harris’s defeat last November, the New Yorker has emerged as a leading light of its progressive wing. Recently, she crossed the country with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders on a joint “Fighting Oligarchy” speaking tour that has attracted large crowds.
Ocasio-Cortez has also drawn focus by posting a campaign-style video on social media this month, showcasing clips from the tour that some have seen as a hint at her future White House ambitions.
