Trump Backs Deal, Won't Apologize, Families to Return

A federal judge ordered the U.S. government to return three migrant families who were deported after being separated under the Trump administration's family separation policy, according to CBS News. The judge declared the deportations "unlawful," citing a violation of a court settlement designed to provide benefits to those affected by the policy.

The ruling, issued by U.S. District Court Judge Dana Sabraw, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, addressed deportations that occurred under the second Trump administration. The original family separation policy, which forcibly separated migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, was scrapped in 2018 amid legal challenges and public outcry. The Biden administration entered into a court settlement in 2023 regarding the matter, CBS News reported.

In other news, former President Donald Trump reversed course and endorsed Nexstar Media Group's $6.2 billion purchase of Tegna, a rival broadcast company. Trump, in a post on Truth Social, stated that the deal would "help knock out the Fake News because there will be more competition." The acquisition, announced in August, requires regulatory approval. The deal would bring together two companies with significant holdings in local broadcast media, expanding Nexstar's reach in the U.S. television and local news landscape, according to CBS News.

Also, an Ohio man was charged with threatening to kill Vice President J.D. Vance, as reported by CBS News. The man, Shannon Mathre, was charged with threatening Vance during a visit to his home state last month. Prosecutors also charged Mathre with possessing digital files depicting child sexual abuse. His lawyer, Neil McElroy, stated that Mathre's health challenges made it unlikely he could have carried out the threat. The charge related to the threats could lead to a maximum five-year sentence, while the second charge carries a potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison.

In a separate development, Trump said he didn't see the full racist video before it was posted on his social media platform and stated he would not apologize, according to ABC News. The video, which included a racist animation of former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, was later deleted. Trump told reporters he only saw the first part of the video, which focused on debunked claims about the 2020 election. When asked if he condemned the racist part of the video, Trump responded, "Of course I do."

Finally, Senator Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., is asking attendees at a Saturday campaign event to show government-issued photo ID, even while opposing similar standards for voters in federal elections, according to Fox News. Email confirmation information for an Ossoff rally in Atlanta detailed that "a matching government-issued ID will be verified against the RSVP list by name to enter." Representative Mike Collins, R-Ga., who is running against Ossoff for a Senate seat in 2026, criticized what he called a double-standard.
