A coalition of legal groups representing immigrants has filed a class-action lawsuit against the Trump administration, arguing that the practice of arresting immigrants at immigration courthouses is unlawful and violates due process protections. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of 12 immigrants, aims to stop the arrests at immigration courts, which have been used by ICE to increase deportations nationwide. The plaintiffs claim that the practice is deterring people from showing up for appointments at immigration courts and is violating federal immigration laws and the Constitution.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 30% tariff on Mexico starting August 1, citing the country's failure to stop drug cartels and the flow of fentanyl into the US. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has defended her country's efforts to combat cartels, but Trump remains unconvinced. The tariffs could have significant economic implications for Mexico, which is the US's largest trading partner. Sheinbaum's government has taken aggressive action against cartels, but analysts argue that more needs to be done to address the root causes of the problem.
