CNN — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu kept up appearances for nearly 19 months: Freeing the hostages and defeating Hamas, he insisted, stood equally atop the pyramid of Israel’s war goals. Even as members of his right-wing governing coalition threatened to topple his government if he agreed to a ceasefire and hostage release deal. Even as he himself threw up eleventh-hour obstacles to reaching such a deal. And even as evidence mounted that Israel’s military operations had both directly and indirectly led to the killing of Israeli hostages. Amid all those contradictions, Netanyahu insisted both objectives were just as important. But…
CNN — Another federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s use of deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, saying the wartime power shouldn’t be used. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said the administration is indefinitely blocked from removing migrants from the Southern District of New York under the act, which gives detainees little due process. The judge said migrants could still be deported via more traditional immigration authorities. Hellerstein, in his 22-page opinion Tuesday, wrote that the use of the Alien Enemies Act violates constitutional protections that give people in the US due process. “Petitioners have not been given notice of…

Robert Menendez, D-N.J., from ever seeking or holding office in the Garden State again.New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin, a Democrat, said Monday that Menendez – sentenced in January to 11 years for bribery, extortion, obstruction and charges he was acting as an unregistered foreign agent for Egypt – abused his Senate role for his “own personal and financial benefit.””[He] betray[ed] the people who elected him and the oath he swore to serve their interests and not his own,” Platkin said in a statement.”Today, my…

Baltimore CNN — A federal judge refused on Tuesday to wipe away her order that the Trump administration “facilitate” the return of a 20-year-old Venezuelan asylum seeker deported to El Salvador but agreed to put the directive on hold so the government can appeal it. The decision by US District Judge Stephanie Gallagher, who was appointed to the bench by President Donald Trump in 2019, comes nearly two weeks after she first ruled that the government had violated a court settlement protecting some young migrants with pending asylum claims when it deported the man, who is referred to only as…
CNN — President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the US would “stop the bombings” against the Iran-backed Houthi rebel group in Yemen, after the Houthis told the US that “they don’t want to fight anymore.” “We will honor that, and we will stop the bombings,” Trump said from the Oval Office, sitting next to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He was referring to the military campaign the US has been carrying out against the Houthis since mid-March in response to the group’s attacks on shipping lanes in the Red Sea and Israel. “They have capitulated but more importantly, we…
New York CNN — A few months ago, the words “bonded warehouse” and “harmonized system codes” might not have been on the minds of many American business owners. Now they’re in a massive spotlight.

Two popular — and legal — strategies involve those bonded warehouses to defer tariffs and harmonized system codes to qualify for…
