Kilmar Abrego Gargia is in ICE custody...but a court order is preventing immigration authorities from deporting him. Illinois' governor is responding to reports that President Trump is planning to deploy military troops to Chicago. FEMA employees sent Congress a letter warning that the agency's leadership can't manage it effectively...and the result could be catastrophic.
CBS News Correspondent Jennifer Keiper with tonight's World News Roundup.
Zeteo’s Prem Thakker joins us for a look at Trump’s takeover of Washington D.C. We talk about the impetus for the takeover, what day-to-day life in occupied D.C. looks and feels like for its immigrant communities, and the Democratic Party’s impotent response. We then look more broadly at Trump’s Fortress America, ICE’s country-wide renditions, and the continuing case of Kilmar Ábrego García. Finally, we talk about the destruction of Nasser Hospital in Gaza and the Democratic Party’s flip-flopping on the term “genocide.”

A pair of Israeli strikes on a Gaza hospital killed five journalists and more than a dozen others, including first responders.

The Trump administration is deploying a new strategy to speed up deportations. Government lawyers are asking immigration judges to dismiss on-going cases. Then, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents arrest people as soon as they step out of the courtroom.
The process is often chaotic. And for immigrants without legal status, it's also very risky.

The Israeli prime minister has expressed deep regret at what he called a tragic mishap at a hospital in southern Gaza, in which at least 20 people were killed. Five journalists were among the dead as a result of an Israeli strike on Nasser hospital in Khan Younis. We speak to a journalist who knew one of those killed, Mariam Dagga.

From Bolton’s role in the Trump administration to prior warnings from a federal judge about his handling of sensitive information and why the DOJ under Biden dropped its earlier investigation, Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the full backstory behind the raid on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ When Donald Trump's home was raided on August 9th, 2022, John Bolton spoke out. And he said, ‘Let's not prejudge, you,’ basically, you pro-Trumpers, ‘let's just let all the evidence, you know, be seen before we make snap judgments.’ Meaning, you know, he's probably guilty. But more importantly, then he said, ‘Donald Trump was just—anything that came across his desk. He saw french fries, he got 'em. He saw classified documents, he did, just because he could.’ And then on another occasion, ‘He has no respect for classification. And that's a lie, that he personally classified these.’
So he was very critical of anybody who objected to what he thought was an FBI, legitimate raid on Mar-a-Lago. Now it's ironic. We'll see if he uses the same tropes and themes to protect himself in the way that he blasted Trump about a similar raid.”
