--:-- Georgia Howe: The Supreme Court hands Trump a major win. The DOJ says Abrego Garcia will be deported. And the Trump administration investigates an imminent domain battle brewing in New Jersey. I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley. It's Friday, June 27th, and this is Evening Wire.
--:-- John Bickley: President Trump has been handed a significant victory by the Supreme Court. Daily Wire Deputy Managing Editor Tim Rice has the latest.
--:-- Tim Rice: The court ruled 6-3 today that lower courts in most cases can issue injunctions but not universal ones. The decision marks a major shift in how executive actions can be challenged. Writing for the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett said federal courts lack broad authority to block presidential orders nationwide unless specifically granted by Congress.
--:-- [Sound effects: Courtroom]
--:-- Tim Rice: Here's George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.
--:-- Jonathan Turley: Justice Barrett is saying that the only way for justices to exercise this type of universal injunction in some of these cases is equitable relief. But she does not find evidence that that type of relief was granted to these judges. So they indicate that the administration is likely to prevail on this issue.
--:-- Tim Rice: All of that is going to be awfully good news for this administration. They have been really hit with these sort of Lilliputian attacks. All these individual district judges effectively freezing federal policy and programs across the country.
--:-- Jonathan Turley: The ruling stems from challenges to Trump's birthright citizenship order and is expected to reshape how legal battles over executive power unfold. The decision could impact hundreds of lawsuits filed against executive actions Trump has taken.
--:-- [Sound effects: Courtroom]
--:-- Tim Rice: Here's the president speaking on the ruling.
--:-- Donald Trump: These judges have attempted to dictate the law for the entire nation. In practice, this meant that if any one of the nearly 700 federal judges disagreed with the policy of a duly elected president of the United States, he or she could block that policy from going into effect or at least delay it for many years, tie it up in the court system.
--:-- Tim Rice: I'm grateful to the Supreme Court for stepping in and solving this very, very big and complex problem, and they've made it very simple.
--:-- [Sound effects: Applause]
--:-- Georgia Howe: In another ruling, the high court sided with Maryland parents allowing them to opt their children out of public school lessons involving LGBTQ themes if that content conflicts with their religious beliefs. Daily Wire reporter Moreta Lordi has more.
--:-- Moreta Lordi: Six The 6 decision is seen as a major victory for religious freedom advocates. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said public education cannot be conditioned on parents accepting instruction that undermines their faith.
--:-- [Sound effects: Courtroom]
--:-- Moreta Lordi: The case centered on Montgomery County schools using books with LGBTQ characters and themes in early grades. The parents, Muslim and Christian, argued the lessons violated their religious rights after the school system stopped offering opt-outs.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The ruling could reshape parental rights in classrooms nationwide.
--:-- Moreta Lordi: The court also upheld a law in Texas requiring age verification on pornographic websites.
--:-- Georgia Howe: California Governor Gavin Newsom is suing Fox News. The governor claims the network falsely accused him of lying about a phone call with the president during the infamous L.A. riots last month.
--:-- Gavin Newsom: During that time, Trump was asked at a press conference when was the last time he spoke to the governor. A day ago, called him up to tell him got to do a better job. He's doing a bad job, causing a lot of death and a lot of a lot of potential death.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Newsom reposted that clip saying, quote, there was no call, not even a voicemail. Americans should be alarmed that a president deploying Marines onto our streets doesn't even know who he's talking to.
--:-- Gavin Newsom: Trump, however, had receipts. The president supplied Fox News with call logs from his phone, showing a call that went unanswered and another that lasted 16 minutes.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Newsom claims Fox used deceptive edits and false assertions to mislead viewers and damage his reputation. The governor is demanding a retraction and on-air apology.
--:-- Gavin Newsom: Fox has not commented on the lawsuit.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Trump is accusing Democrats of leaking sensitive intelligence about U.S. airstrikes on Iran. Trump said in a social media post Thursday that the leak falsely portrayed the strikes as less effective and called for prosecution, though he didn't name specific individuals.
--:-- Donald Trump: The leak is now under FBI investigation.
--:-- Georgia Howe: This comes after CNN and The New York Times reported that the strikes may only have delayed Iran's nuclear program by months. But Trump and his national security team say the facilities were obliterated.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Hamas is preparing attacks on American contractors helping to distribute aid in Gaza. A senior official in the Trump administration has told the Daily Wire that attacks against the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are a growing concern.
--:-- Hamas official: In a joint statement with other terror groups, Hamas warned aid workers that, quote, all collaborators, thieves, and criminal armed gangs are legitimate targets.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The DOJ says alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia will be deported after his release from jail, but not to his native El Salvador. Daily Wire reporter Amanda Presa Giacomo has the latest.
--:-- Amanda Presa Giacomo: A federal prosecutor said Thursday that the Trump administration plans to expel him to a third country though no timeline has been set.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Abrego Garcia faces human trafficking charges and was previously sent to El Salvador before being returned to the U.S. earlier this year by a court order.
--:-- Amanda Presa Giacomo: The DOJ says he'll face trial before deportation. His legal team is asking a federal judge to block any removal attempts before a hearing next month.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The case has drawn national attention amid legal battles over immigration and public safety.
--:-- Georgia Howe: An Egyptian man who kicked a law enforcement dog off the ground has been deported. The man was traveling through Dulles Airport on Tuesday with over 100 pounds of undeclared foreign food when the dog alerted Customs and Border Protection officers.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The man reacted by kicking the 25-pound beagle named Freddy with enough force to lift him into the air. CBP officers arrested the man who pleaded guilty in a court appearance on Thursday to harming animals used in law enforcement.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The man was ordered to cover the canine's veterinary fee and was deported back to Egypt yesterday afternoon. Freddie is expected to make a full recovery.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Closing arguments continue in the trial of Sean Diddy Combs. The lead defense attorney accused the prosecution of exaggerating claims of wrongdoing and described Diddy's freak-off parties as part of a swinger lifestyle.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The defense emphasized the consensual relationship between Diddy and the prosecution's star witness, Cassie Ventura. and denied any coercion or sex trafficking.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The defense's arguments are expected to conclude Friday afternoon.
--:-- Georgia Howe: A billionaire is promising millions to any candidate capable of beating self-described Democratic socialist Zoran Mamdani. Bill Ackman said on social media he is gravely concerned about New York City after Mamdani's victory, offering hundreds of millions of dollars to any candidate who can beat him.
--:-- Bill Ackman: Ackman said a socialist mayor would be devastating to the city. Mom Donnie's past career as a rapper has come back to haunt him.
--:-- Georgia Howe: During a live interview on CNN, Mom Donnie appeared uncomfortable as he watched the video. He's been in the New York Assembly for four years. And before that, he was an aspiring rapper under the name Mr. Cardamom.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Listen. Once you do it, it's out there. It never comes back. It's there. Didn't think it was going to be on CNN.
--:-- Zoran Mamdani: Mamdani defended his background and said he will hire the best and brightest as mayor.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Ticks are spreading into new regions as warmer winters allow them to stick around longer. Experts say ticks are now appearing across the Northeast, Midwest and beyond, bringing diseases like Lyme, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and even red meat allergies.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Entomologists claim climate change and expanding human development are fueling the rise. They urge precautions, wearing long clothes, using tick repellents, and checking for ticks after spending time outdoors.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The Trump administration is pushing back on a New Jersey town that wants to seize a 175 family farm. The two brothers who own the farm have been in a months-long battle against the Cranberry Township, which is looking to build state-mandated affordable housing on the land.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Imminent Domain grants power to the government to take private property for public use if the owner receives just compensation. The brothers have reportedly declined offers of up to $30 million for the farm.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says she's looking into the situation and that the administration desires to protect family farms at all costs.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Anna Winter, the decades-long editor-in-chief of American Vogue, has announced she's stepping down. During her 37 years at the magazine, Winter ran daily operations and elevated up-and-coming fashion designers.
--:-- Georgia Howe: She even served as a strong inspiration for Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada. Despite her smashing success for the company, Roger Lynch, chief executive of Condé Nast, says she's been working three jobs and that it made sense for her to step away.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Winter will now serve as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and global editorial director of Vogue.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Pro-life diaper company Every Life has launched in South Korea, the country with the world's lowest fertility rate. The diaper company is partnering with a massive church there and is hosting an international diaper drive.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The U.S.-based brand says its mission is more than commerce. It's a cultural movement to revive family values.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Here's what EveryLife CEO Sarah Gable Seifert told Morning Wire.
--:-- Sarah Gable Seifert: We feel that our message, that strong families build a strong nation, is going to shift hearts and minds, that South Korea is worth fighting for and the best days are yet to come.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Every Life warns that without a return to pro-family ideals, the West may face the same population crisis.
--:-- Georgia Howe: And TSA replied to a viral ex-post this week in which a user joked that while transportation security might want a valid identification, his Waffle House ID was the realist ID.
--:-- Georgia Howe: The post garnered over 2 million views and TSA responded to it by saying that the real ID doesn't comply with federal rules and would not be accepted.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Many ex-users weighed in, asking where they could get one of the special Waffle House IDs, or expressing their jealousy of the person behind the post.
--:-- Georgia Howe: On May 7th, real ID requirements went into effect and now require travelers to obtain the new identification with a star in the upper right corner.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Those are your drive home updates this evening. To learn more about these stories, go to dailywire.com.
--:-- Georgia Howe: And in case you missed it this morning, we covered some major stories, including new intelligence on the damage to Iran's nuclear facilities, RFK yanks funding from a global vaccine group, and New York City reels after its socialist candidate victory.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Thanks for tuning in. We'll be back tomorrow morning with a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
