“Therefore, if the Big Bend Sector is an area of high illegal entry, so is every other sector, and the waiver authority would apply to the entire US-Mexico border,” Cardone wrote.[3]

In an unsigned, five-page ruling , the nation’s highest court granted the Trump administration’s emergency request to suspend a lower court order that had temporarily stopped the project last month.[4]

Trump says FBI investigating Nvidia boss's affair with alleged Chinese spy

"He's suffering": Trump answers BBC question about Nvidia's Jensen Huang US President Donald Trump has said the FBI is investigating the affair between the chief executive of Nvidia and an alleged Chinese spy. Trump said he spoke to Jensen Huang on Monday following reports that the US believed he had been targeted in a Chinese espionage campaign. "I asked him that question, 'Did you have any idea she was a spy?' He said 'I had no idea she was a spy' and I really believe him," Trump told reporters. Beijing has rejected claims that Huang was targeted, with its foreign ministry saying the allegations were "entirely groundless, speculative and intended to smear and malign China". Nvidia, which has commissioned an independent investigation into the affair involving Alice Huang, alleged to be a Chinese spy, said it had no reason to believe the company's secrets or national security were compromised. The company is the world's second most valuable company after Apple and designs computer chips that have become central to AI technology. The revelations knocked about $250bn (£190bn) off Nvidia's value on Monday as its share price fell by more than 4%. Trump later told reporters at the White House that the FBI was now looking into the issue, but did not elaborate on the probe or when it was launched. The FBI declined to comment when contacted by the BBC. US intelligence officials believe Alice Huang , also known as Huang Le, was a spy for Beijing, according to a New York Times report.

Republican congressman to force impeachment vote on Defence Secretary Hegseth

Watch: Moment Thomas Massie introduces articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth A Republican congressman plans to force a vote in the House of Representatives this week to impeach Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, alleging he has violated the US Constitution. The effort will likely fail, as Republicans remain in power in Congress until January. He has said the effort was aimed at preventing a Democrat spectacle next year when they have control of Congress. "My effort to impeach Secretary Hegseth is a much gentler version of what's coming when the Democrats assume control of the House and Senate next year," Massie also said in a statement. "He's done a very good job." Impeaching a cabinet secretary is rare. Trump was impeached by the House twice in his first term in office but was cleared by the Senate after two trials and not removed. As with the presidential process, the House would first hold a vote on charges against Hegseth and the Senate then would conduct a trial to decide whether to acquit or convict. The House has voted to impeach only two cabinet members in US history, but the Senate did not convict either one. While the House requires a simple majority to pass articles of impeachment, the Senate mandates a two-thirds vote to convict, threshold that is difficult to meet in the current congressional term. When Democrats take over in January, they are likely to have at least 54 Senate seats - though two races do not yet have winners due to slim voting margins.

Senate advances bill to speed up permit reviews for infrastructure projects

Chamber voted 73-25 to formally take up bill that will shorten timelines to start energy and datacenter projects The Senate on Monday advanced bipartisan legislation aimed at speeding up permitting reviews for datacenters and other infrastructure projects, in the first major action since last week’s election that soundly repudiated Donald Trump and congressional Republicans. The Senate voted 73-25 to formally take up the bill, which senators and the president have pushed as a way to meet growing demand for electricity and other forms of energy that now face years-long delays in getting to the grid.
