\u2022 Greenland trip: <\/strong>Vice President JD Vance made the highest-profile case<\/a> yet for US control of Greenland during a visit today to the semiautonomous Danish territory. Back in the US, President Donald Trump insisted the US has \u201cto have Greenland\u201d<\/a> for the sake of global security, a move that Denmark and Greenland have firmly rejected.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\u2022 String of legal setbacks: <\/strong>In a series of rulings this evening<\/a>, federal judges temporarily blocked administration plans to fast-track deportations, target a law firm tied to past investigations of Trump, and dismantle both Voice of America and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. <\/p>\n

\u2022 Trade war strains ties: <\/strong>Canada\u2019s prime minister warned Trump of retaliatory tariffs<\/a> in a phone call today, his office said, as the US president described the conversation as \u201cvery good<\/a>.\u201d Trump\u2019s trade plans and desire to annex Canada have heightened tensions between the countries<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

The State Department ordered all US embassies and consulates to screen the social media activity of certain student visa applicants for evidence they support terrorist organizations, two sources familiar with a memo from the department told CNN. <\/p>\n

The expansive directive, signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, tasks \u201cFraud Prevention Units\u201d at the Department with taking screenshots of any social media activity that is relevant to the ineligibility of a visa applicant, and to preserve those records in case the applicant deletes the information, the sources said. <\/p>\n

Decisions on visas are national security decisions, the memo says while citing executive orders from President Donald Trump to combat terrorism and antisemitism. <\/p>\n

CNN has reached out to the State Department for comment. Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein first reported<\/a> on the cable. <\/p>\n

Rubio\u2019s directive comes amid fierce criticism from immigration and human rights advocates over the Trump administration\u2019s detention of some visa holders who have not been charged with a crime. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz faced shouts and boos from a frustrated crowd at her town hall Friday in Westfield, Indiana. <\/p>\n

One of the biggest confrontations came over the recent Signal chat debacle<\/a>, which saw top Trump administration officials accidentally include a journalist in a discussion about highly sensitive Yemen attack plans. <\/p>\n

A woman who identified herself as Stephanie asked whether Spartz will demand the immediate resignations of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, national security adviser Mike Waltz and everyone else in the group chat. Many in the crowd cheered when the woman asked the question. <\/p>\n

Spartz replied, \u201cNo, I will not demand their resignations.\u201d The crowd erupted in anger. <\/p>\n

Spartz ultimately did concede that, \u201cIt\u2019s not a good situation. So, hopefully we\u2019ll take some look at that.\u201d But she went on to argue that government officials \u201cdon\u2019t have any other tools\u201d except Signal to discuss sensitive information. <\/p>\n

The big picture: <\/strong>It\u2019s a scene that\u2019s played out at an increasing number of town halls<\/a> held by Republican lawmakers across the country: Angry constituents confronting them about President Donald Trump\u2019s actions during his first 100 days in office, especially his vast overhaul of government and slashes to the federal workforce. <\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t only impacted GOP politicians: Democrats have also faced riled-up crowds<\/a> over what voters say is a lack of sufficient resistance to Trump\u2019s actions. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

President Donald Trump commuted the sentence of Ozy Media founder Carlos Watson<\/a> on Friday, just hours before he was set to surrender to prison, two people familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN. <\/p>\n

Watson was convicted last summer for defrauding investors and lying about his company\u2019s finances. He\u2019s a former cable news anchor and investment banker who was accused of being dishonest to investors about the now-defunct startup\u2019s finances and sham deals with Google and Oprah Winfrey. <\/p>\n

In December, Watson was sentenced to nearly a decade in prison. <\/p>\n

As CNN reported at the time,<\/a> Ozy imploded in 2021 after news reports questioned its audience numbers and revealed that a top executive had impersonated a YouTube executive during a call with Goldman Sachs bankers in which he claimed the streaming site agreed to pay for exclusive rights to an Ozy show. <\/p>\n

The White House declined to comment. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Federal judges on Friday delivered a series of rulings that could challenge President Donald Trump\u2019s agenda, with the news coming in quick succession. <\/p>\n
