Forbes: Did ICE Deport Children From Louisiana Who Are U.S. Citizens? Rubio Denies Characterization Amid Controversy
Secretary of State Marco Rubio clarified that three U.S. citizen children were not deported; rather, their mothers, who were in the country illegally, were deported and chose to take their children with them to Honduras. Rubio emphasized that U.S. policy does not involve deporting citizen children without due process.
A habeas corpus petition has been filed on behalf of one child, claiming unlawful detention, while the government argues the mother does not wish for her child to be released. A judge has scheduled a hearing to address concerns over the deportation process.

Fox News: Defunding DEI: Here’s how the Trump administration has undone Biden’s very prized programs
President Trump has moved to dismantle all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) offices within the federal government, issuing executive orders to eliminate related programs and contracts. This action includes a directive to revert hiring practices at the Federal Aviation Administration to merit-based criteria, effectively rescinding Biden-era DEI initiatives.
The impact of Trump's policies has extended beyond the federal level, prompting major corporations like Meta and McDonald's to cancel their DEI programs. Additionally, the National Institutes of Health has rescinded a policy that integrated DEI into its scientific processes, aiming to restore a focus on scientific integrity.
