The president said Sunday that he will announce tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum on Monday but didn't say when they'll take effect.

Trump, meanwhile, is at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night to take in the Super Bowl. Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in an interview aired before the game on Fox.

Court grants request to block 3 Venezuelan immigrants from being sent to Guantanamo

A federal court on Sunday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from sending three Venezuelan detainees from being sent to a migrant holding facility at Guantanamo Bay, according to a report from AP News.

The three men had been accused of having connections to the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, the report said. Texas Gov. Glenn Abbott designated the gang a foreign terror organization in September 2024.

The first flight carrying so-called high-threat migrants to the newly established migrant holding facility in Cuba arrived Feb. 4. All 10 people on the flight were also suspected members of Tren de Aragua, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

However, the Center for Constitutional Rights, which is representing the three men, said in a filing early Sunday that they "have a pending case before the court challenging their unlawfully prolonged detention" and asserted that they are "migrants who fled Venezuela seeking protection" in the United States.

The filing asked that the U.S. District Court of New Mexico block their transfer on the grounds that “the mere uncertainty the government has created surrounding the availability of legal process and counsel access is sufficient to authorize the modest injunction,” AP News said.

Judge Kenneth J. Gonzales granted the temporary order to prevent their relocation after a brief hearing on Sunday, according to the AP News article.

Trump said last month that the United States will work to prepare the naval base to hold 30,000 migrants awaiting processing to return to their home countries.

Trump instructs Treasury to stop producing pennies

President Donald Trump said Sunday night that he has instructed the Treasury Department to stop making new pennies.

"For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let's rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it's a penny at a time," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Trump implies rioters were the victims on Jan. 6

During his flight to New Orleans on Sunday, President Donald Trump said he would be honoring first responders by meeting with some at the 2025 Super Bowl.

Members of the New Orleans Police Department, New Orleans Emergency Medical Services, New Orleans Fire Department, Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, and Louisiana State Police were on the field for the coin toss, each holding a photo of one of the 14 victims killed in the truck-ramming terror attack on New Year's Day.

Reporters aboard Air Force One then asked why, if Trump supports first responders, he had pardoned those who were convicted of assaulting police officers on Jan. 6, 2021.

Trump implied that it was the rioters who were victimized in the attack on the Capitol, claiming they had been assaulted by the government.

“No, I pardoned people that were assaulted themselves," he said, without offering evidence. "They were assaulted by our government."

He went on to repeat a claim he has made in the past, saying, "They were treated unfairly.”

Pentagon denies workspace to 8 news outlets to allegedly make room in 'media rotation'

In addition to the four media outlets ordered to vacate their workspace in the building by Valentine's Day, the Pentagon announced four more this evening.

Last Friday, the Pentagon issued a memo signed by DOD spokesman John Ullyot announcing an "annual media rotation program."

Last week’s memo specified The New York Times, NBC News, National Public Radio and Politico would be swapped with the New York Post, One America News Network, Breitbart News Network and HuffPost.

In reaction to the memo, leaders from several outlets with reporters who work at the Pentagon came to the building on Wednesday to raise questions and concerns with Ullyot directly.

Ullyot responded to the meeting by doubling down on the initial policy, issuing a new memo ordering four more media outlets to vacate their workspace at the Pentagon, setting a new deadline for all eight to vacate by February 21.

Friday night’s memo said The Washington Post, CNN, The Hill and The War Zone were being swapped with The Washington Examiner, Newsmax, The Free Press and The Daily Caller.

The memo noted that while the outlets' workspaces are being revoked, as is the prerogative of the secretary of defense, the reporters affected will maintain their building access and ability to attend briefings, and will still be considered for trips.

A few facts that caused immediate confusion among the resident press corps was Breitbart and Washington Examiner have had dedicated space for years in the Pentagon.

The War Zone, which is being ordered to vacate its workspace, has never had existing workspace in the Pentagon and Newsmax was already in the process of transitioning into a space offered by the existing press corps before President Donald Trump took office.
