President Donald Trump's second administration continued its swift recasting of the federal government, prompting pushback from Democrats and legal challenges.

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.”

Trump says Gaza takeover plan 'real estate transaction' despite ethnic cleansing fears

President Donald Trump continued to tout his plan for Gaza, despite widespread backlash and continuing questions over its feasibility.

"Basically the United States would view it as a real estate transaction, where we'll be an investor in that part of the world," Trump said on Friday. "And no rush to do anything."

Trump's been forced to dial back some aspects of his proposal for a U.S. takeover of Gaza after first saying he'd use the military if necessary and suggesting a permanent resettlement of Palestinians -- which experts said would be a violation of international law and possibly a war crime. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned against "any form of ethnic cleansing" after Trump's comments.

Trump is now asserting Gaza would be turned over to the U.S. by Israel, who he said would handle its security.

Trump on Friday said the plan "would lead to great stability in the area for very little money, very little price, and we wouldn't need soldiers at all. That will be taken care of by others, and the investments are taken care of by others also. So for no investment, I mean virtually no investment whatsoever, it would bring stability to the area, and others can invest in it later on."
