Trump's plans for warship fleet. And, deported Venezuelans must receive due process
"President Trump announced yesterday that the U.S. Navy will spend billions of taxpayer dollars per ship to build a new class of warships named after him. The press event, where he spoke about the plan, came a few days after a Trump-led board voted to put his name on the Kennedy Center. The president said that his administration would start by building two of these new battleships, which he says will have nuclear missile capability, NPR's Quil Lawrence tells Up First."
"A federal judge has ruled that the deportations of over 100 Venezuelans to El Salvador were illegal. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ruled that the government violated due process and determined that the men are entitled to a hearing. Earlier this year, the U.S. deported numerous men to a prison in El Salvador after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act. Boasberg's ruling comes as the new head of CBS News, Bari Weiss, stopped the network from broadcasting interviews with former detainees on 60 Minutes."
President Trump announced plans to build a new class of U.S. Navy warships bearing his name and said construction would begin with two battleships. The president claimed the ships would have nuclear missile capability and said production would ramp up, but provided no specific timeframe. The administration is pursuing a third massive oil tanker, and actions toward oil tankers remain uncharted. A federal judge ruled deportations of over 100 Venezuelans to El Salvador illegal, finding due process violations and ordering return or hearings. The judge's ruling raises questions about how the government will facilitate compliance and may be appealed.
