President Donald Trump ousted his national security advisor.

That's where we're starting The Seven from the Washington Post.

I'm Hannah Jewell. It's Friday, May 2nd.

Let's get you caught up with today's seven stories.

It was the biggest shake-up of this administration so far. President Trump removed Michael Waltz from his role of national security advisor. He'll be replaced for the time being by

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who will also carry on in his normal job.

The decision reflects Trump's disappointment with Waltz for his role in the Signal Chat

scandal. That's when Waltz inadvertently included a journalist on a group chat about military

operations in Yemen. But he's not going away entirely. Trump said yesterday that he is

nominating Waltz to be UN ambassador. That sets the stage for a contentious confirmation process.

Democrats will be able to grill Waltz about the opening months of the Trump presidency.

One Democrat, Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut,

said that Waltz was not the one who should be fired over the signal scandal.

The Trump's security team is a hot mess, and the one who should go is not the fall guy,

Michael Wals, it is the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, who is responsible.

He should be held accountable. He should be fired right now.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's use of signal has become a growing crisis for the Pentagon.

Last week, it was revealed he also used it to share sensitive military details with his wife and brother.

A judge ruled that President Trump's use of an 18th century law for deportations is illegal.

That's number two. In March, Trump signed a proclamation

invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Back then, it was passed by Congress as war with France

loomed. It gave the president the power to expel people during a declared war or any invasion or predatory incursion into the United States.
