The Supreme Court is seen in Washington, Nov. 2, 2024. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)2025-05-19T16:42:50Z Follow live updates on President Donald Trump and his administration WASHINGTON (AP) The Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to strip legal protections from 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially exposing them to deportation.The courts order, with only one noted dissent, puts on hold a ruling from a federal judge in San Francisco that kept in place Temporary Protected Status for the Venezuelans that would have otherwise expired last month. The justices provided no rationale, which is common in emergency appeals. The status allows people already in the United States to live and work legally because their native countries are deemed unsafe for return due to natural disaster or civil strife.A federal appeals court had earlier rejected the administrations request to put the order on hold while the lawsuit continues.The case is the latest in a string of emergency appeals President Donald Trumps administration has made to the Supreme Court, many of them related to immigration. Last week, the government asked the court to allow it to end humanitarian parole for hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, setting them up for potential deportation as well. The high court also has been involved in legal battles over Trumps efforts to swiftly deport Venezuelans accused of being gang members to a prison in El Salvador under an 18th century wartime law called the Alien Enemies Act. The administration has moved aggressively to withdraw various protections that have allowed immigrants to remain in the country, including ending the temporary protected status for a total of 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians. That status is granted in 18-month increments. The protections had been set to expire April 7, but U.S. District Judge Edward Chen ordered a pause on those plans. He found that the expiration threatened to severely disrupt the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and could cost billions in lost economic activity. Chen, who was appointed to the bench by Democratic President Barack Obama, found the government hadnt shown any harm caused by keeping the program alive.But Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote on behalf of the administration that Chens order impermissibly interferes with the administrations power over immigration and foreign affairs.In addition, Sauer told the justices, people affected by ending the protected status might have other legal options to try to remain in the country because the decision to terminate TPS is not equivalent to a final removal order.Congress created TPS in 1990 to prevent deportations to countries suffering from natural disasters or civil strife.Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said she would have rejected the administrations emergency appeal.

by Robert Faturechi and Brandon Roberts ProPublica is a nonprofit newsroom that investigates abuses of power. Sign up to receive our biggest stories as soon as theyre published. Two days before President Donald Trump announced dramatic plans for reciprocal tariffs on foreign imports, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sold stock in almost three dozen companies, according to records reviewed by ProPublica.The Feb. 11 sales occurred near the stock markets historic peak, just before it began to slide amid concerns about Trumps tariff plans and ultimately plummeted after the president unveiled the details of the new tariffs on April 2.Disclosure records filed by Duffy with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics show he sold between $75,000 and $600,000 of stock two days before Trumps Feb. 13 announcement, and up to $50,000 more that day.Transportation secretaries normally have little to do with tariff policy, but Duffy has presented himself as one of the intellectual forefathers of Trumps current trade agenda. As a congressman in 2019, his last government position before Trump elevated him to his cabinet post, Duffy introduced a bill he named the United States Reciprocal Trade Act. The proposed legislation, which did not pass, in many ways mirrors Trumps reciprocal tariff plan. Duffy worked on that bill with Trumps trade adviser Peter Navarro. Trumps tariffs were the culmination of that work, Duffy posted online, referring to his own bill in the House. Trades by government officials informed by nonpublic information learned in the course of their official duties could violate the law. However, its unclear whether Duffy had any information about the timing or scale of Trumps reciprocal tariff plans before the public did. Trump had repeatedly promised to institute significant tariffs throughout the campaign. But during the first weeks of his term, investors were not panic selling, seeming to assume Trump wouldnt adopt the far-reaching levies that led to the market crash following his Liberation Day announcement. In response to questions from ProPublica, a Transportation Department spokesperson said an outside manager made the trades and Duffy had no input on the timing of the sales a defense that ethics experts generally consider one of the strongest against questions of trading on nonpublic information.His stock transactions are part of a retirement account and not managed directly by the Secretary. The account managers must follow the guidance of the ethics agreement and they have done so.The Secretary strongly supports the Presidents tariff policy, but he isnt part of the administrations decisions on tariff levels, the spokesperson said.The spokesperson dismissed the notion that knowledge of Trumps coming tariffs could constitute insider knowledge because President Trump has been discussing tariffs since the 1980s.Duffy is the second cabinet secretary to have sold stock at an opportune time. Last week, ProPublica reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi sold between $1 million and $5 million worth of shares of Trump Media, the presidents social media company, on April 2. A government ethics agreement required Bondi to sell the shares within 90 days of her confirmation, a deadline that would have given her until early May, but why she sold on that date is unclear. After the market closed that day, Trump presented his tariffs, sending the market reeling. Following ProPublicas story, at least two Democratic members of Congress called for investigations. Bondi has yet to answer questions about whether she knew anything about Trumps tariff plans before the public did. The Justice Department has not responded to questions about the trades.Disclosure forms for securities trading by government officials do not require them to state the exact amount bought or sold but instead to provide a broad range for the totals of each transaction. Duffy's disclosure records show he sold 34 stocks worth between $90,000 and $650,000 on Feb. 11 and Feb. 13. Per the ethics agreement he signed to avoid conflicts of interest as head of the Transportation Department, he was required to sell off stock in seven of those companies during his first three months in office. Cabinet members are typically required to divest themselves of financial interests that intersect with their departments oversight role, which in Duffys case involve U.S. roadways, aviation and the rest of the nations transportation network. The ethics agreement was dated Jan. 13, and Duffy was confirmed by the senate on Jan. 28, meaning he had until late April to sell. His spokesperson said he provided his account manager with the ethics agreement on Feb. 7.The stocks he sold in the other 27 companies were not subject to the ethics agreement. Those shares were valued somewhere between $27,000 and $405,000, according to the records. Among them were Shopify, whose merchants are impacted by the tariffs, and John Deere, the agricultural machinery manufacturer that has projected hundreds of millions of dollars in new costs because of Trumps tariffs. Other companies Duffy sold, like gambling firm DraftKings and food delivery service DoorDash, are less directly vulnerable to tariff disruptions. But even those companies will be impacted if Americans have less disposable cash to spend. Few stocks were not hit hard by Trumps Liberation Day tariff announcements. The S&P 500, a broadbased index, fell almost 19% in the weeks that followed Duffys sales and 13% specifically after Trump unveiled the details of his reciprocal tariff plan. Since Trump unexpectedly walked back much of those initial tariffs, the market has rebounded. Theres no indication that the cash from Duffys sales was immediately reinvested. He appears to have held on to parts of his portfolio, including a Bitcoin fund, treasuries, S&P 500 funds and stock in Madrigal Pharmaceuticals, an American biopharma company. (Duffy also purchased some Microsoft shares, one of the stocks hes prohibited from holding, days earlier on Feb. 7, only to sell them on Feb. 11 with the rest of his sales.)Trades by government officials informed by nonpublic information learned through their jobs could violate the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge, or STOCK, Act. The 2012 law clarified that executive and legislative branch employees cannot use nonpublic government information to trade stock and requires them to promptly disclose their trades. But no cases have ever been brought under the law, and some legal experts have doubts it would hold up to scrutiny from the courts, which in recent years have generally narrowed what constitutes illegal insider trading. Current and former officials have also raised concerns that Trumps Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission would not aggressively investigate activities by Trump or his allies. The presidents selection of Duffy to lead the Department of Transportation was somewhat unexpected. Duffy, who came to fame when he starred in the reality show The Real World in the late 1990s, had last held public office in 2019 during Trumps first term when he served as a Wisconsin congressman. As a lawmaker, Duffy introduced the bill that would have made it easier for Trump, or any president, to levy new tariffs, a role that had long been largely reserved for Congress. The bill would have allowed the president to impose additional tariffs on imported goods if he determined that another country was applying a higher duty rate on the same goods when they were coming from America. The bill did not pass, but Trump has essentially assumed that power by justifying new tariffs as essential to national security or in response to a national emergency. His Feb. 13 announcement called on his advisers to come up with new tariff rates on goods coming from countries around the world based on a number of restrictions he said those countries were placing on American products not just through tariffs, but also with their exchange rates and industry subsidies. Even the public rollout of Duffys bill and Trumps tariffs were similar. Duffy released a spreadsheet showing how other countries tariffed particular goods at a higher rate than the U.S. Trump also used a spreadsheet during his rollout to show that his new tariffs were the same or lower than the trade restrictions other countries had placed on American goods. More recently, Duffy has been a booster of Trumps trade policies. LIBERATION DAY!!Were not gonna take it anymore!, he tweeted two days after Trump unveiled his reciprocal tariffs on April 2. This week, @POTUS took a historic step towards stopping other countries from ripping off the American worker and restoring Fair Trade. In Congress, I helped lead the US Reciprocal Trade Act with @RealPNavarro and the @WhiteHouse to expand the Presidents tariff powers in his first term. I am so proud to have been able to share the culmination of that work, Liberation Day, with my family this week. Thank you at POTUS!

President Joe Biden speaks from the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, Sept. 30, 2024. (AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein, File)2025-05-19T18:22:06Z WASHINGTON (AP) In Joe Bidens family, theres a saying that the three worst words anyone can hear are you have cancer.One decade ago, his son Beau died from a brain tumor. Several years later, his wife Jill had two cancerous lesions removed in her own brush with the disease. Now it is the former presidents turn. Bidens office disclosed his prostate cancer diagnosis over the weekend, saying it has already spread to his bones.Although the cancer can possibly be controlled with treatment, it is no longer curable. The announcement is a bitter revelation that a disease that has brought so much tragedy to Bidens life could be what ends it.Cancer touches us all, Biden wrote on social media. Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places.Even before the diagnosis, Bidens post-presidency was shadowed by questions about his health and whether he should have run for reelection. As questions about his fitness for office mounted, he abandoned the campaign and Donald Trump retook the presidency by defeating Kamala Harris. As the 82-year-old Biden works to safeguard his damaged political legacy, hell also be fighting a disease that shaped the final chapters of his decades-long career. Biden was serving as Barack Obamas vice president when Beau died in 2015. He decided not to seek the Democratic nomination the following year, which helped clear a path for Hillary Clinton, who lost to Trump in 2016. Valerie Jarrett, a longtime Obama adviser, said Biden wanted to channel his grief into action and figure out how we can do better on treating cancer to make sure that other people didnt have to go through what he went through. The effort was formalized as a White House task force, with Biden in charge. After a few years out of office, Biden re-entered politics to campaign against Trump in 2020. The heartache from Beaus death was never far from the surface though. His eldest son had been Delawares attorney general and often viewed as Bidens political successor. Beau should be the one running for president, not me, Biden said, a thought he echoed on many occasions.He made fighting cancer a focus for his presidency, resurrecting a moonshot initiative to increase funding for research and improve treatment. He unveiled the initiative at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in 2022, echoing the Democratic icons famous speech declaring that we will go to the moon six decades earlier. Beating cancer is something we can do together, Biden said. By this point, he had already signed legislation known as the PACT Act to expand healthcare benefits for veterans. The law guarantees treatment for chronic illnesses blamed on burn pits, which were used to dispose of chemicals, tires, plastics, medical equipment and human waste on military bases.Biden left no doubt that he believed Beaus death resulted from his service with the National Guard in Iraq.When they came home, many of the fittest and best warriors that we sent to war were not the same headaches, numbness, dizziness, cancer, he said. My son Beau was one of them. Denis McDonough, who led the Veterans Affairs Department under Biden, said the president didnt talk about Beaus death during policy discussions. But he said it was clear that Biden knew the experience that other families were having, and he was going to be damn sure that we werent going to miss an opportunity to address that.McDonough recalled that Biden wanted the new law to take effect as quickly as possible. He had an option to stretch it out, he said. He said no way.The following year, first lady Jill Biden had two cancerous lesions removed, one above her right eye and the other on her chest. They were both basal cell carcinoma.Learning of the diagnosis was a little harder than I thought, she told The Associated Press during a trip to Africa.Im lucky, she said. Believe me, I am so lucky that they caught it, they removed it, and Im healthy.Bidens cancer diagnosis is not the first time that hes faced his own mortality. Months after ending his first presidential campaign in 1988, he collapsed in a New York hotel room. In his memoir Promises to Keep, he described lightning flashing inside my head, a powerful electrical surge and then a rip of pain like Id never felt before.He had suffered a brain aneurysm that required surgery. Biden wrote that I had no real fear of dying. Id long since accepted the fact that lifes guarantees dont include a fair shake.McDonough imagined that Biden would feel similarly about his current situation. Hes always on to the next fight, he said. CHRIS MEGERIAN Megerian covers the White House for The Associated Press.

WASHINGTONAfter a stunning admission that hed been diagnosed with a highly aggressive form of the disease, former President Joe Biden reportedly faced mounting pressure on Monday to let a younger Democrat battle cancer. Given the current landscape, we think a more youthful, energetic leader would be much better suited to fighting this deadly kind of metastatic prostate cancer, said Democratic strategist James Carville, adding that while there likely wasnt much time to pivot this late in the diseases cycle, there were still several prominent politicians ready to step up and win. Right now I think that Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Pete Buttigieg are more than ready to take on a cancer with a Gleasonscore of 9. Theres even buzz about Gretchen Whitmer throwing her hat in the ring. Frankly, itd send a very powerful message to Republicans if a female governor from a battleground state like Michigan overcame this terrible illness.
