White House says some employees were fired by mistake

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries established a group called "Rapid Response Task Force and Litigation Working Group" to respond to Trump's overhaul of the federal government. Colorado Rep. Joe Neguse will lead the group.

"We are engaged in a multifaceted struggle to protect and defend everyday Americans from the harm being inflicted by this administration. As outlined last week, it's an all hands on deck effort simultaneously underway in Congress, the Courts and the Community," Jeffries wrote to his colleagues.

This is yet another effort by House Democrats, who are in the minority in the House and have little power, to push back against the administration. Their work could lead to future litigation.

In a new press release, the White House said that the "weaponization" of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) "ends right now."

They allege the agency has "long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by so-called 'elites.'"

The White House pointed to reports that the agency supported "radical advocacy groups" and also referenced reports about the agency's data collection among other actions. It claims the agency "granted itself broad new powers" under the Biden administration, arguing it was "government overreach" in regards to the agency's action on removing medical debt from credit reports.

In a statement, the European Union Commission called President Donald Trump's potential tariffs "unlawful and economically counterproductive," adding that it sees "no justification" for them.

It also said it will "react to protect the interests of European businesses, workers and consumers from unjustified measures."

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reiterated such remarks, saying that "anyone who imposes tariffs must expect counter-tariffs."

A federal judge in New Hampshire Monday morning issued an injunction temporarily blocking the enforcement of President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship executive order.

U.S. District Judge Joseph Laplante’s order marks the third time in less than a week that a federal court has blocked the Trump administration’s day-one executive order that sought to preclude the children of undocumented immigrants from birthright citizenship.

Judge Laplante determined that the nonprofits who brought the case were likely to succeed on their claim that the executive order was unconstitutional, and that enforcement of the order would cause irreparable harm.

The series of losses comes as the Trump administration charts its plan to appeal the rulings and potentially bring the issue to the Supreme Court. Lawyers for the Department of Justice filed a notice of appeal in the Western District of Washington last week after another federal judge issued an injunction.

“We think we have good grounds, but you could be right. I mean, you'll find out. It’s ridiculous,” Trump said on his first day in office after signing the order when asked about the likelihood of legal challenges.
