Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston. The White House is once again defending its

decision to deport a man from Maryland. Kilmar, Obrego Garcia, a Salvadoran citizen who had lived in the U.S. for nearly 15 years,

was deported to El Salvador despite being granted protections by a U.S. immigration judge.

White House advisor, Stephen Miller, claims the Trump administration had every right to deport him.

So we had a deportation order that was valid, which meant that under our law, he's not even

allowed to be present in the United States and had to be returned because of the foreign

terrorist designation. During a meeting at the White House today, the president of El Salvador

said he has no intentions of returning someone that the U.S. considers to be a gang member

and a terrorist. Abrago Garcia has never been charged with a crime. He's currently being held at the

Terrorism Confinement Center, a maximum security prison outside of the capital, San Salvador.

Stocks rose today after the Trump administration granted a partial reprie from some of its

steep new tariffs on imports from China.

NPR Scott Horsley reports President Trump hinted that he may grant other carve-outs in the days to come.

iPhones and laptops made in China are getting a temporary break from President Trump's punishing new tariffs.

The administration announced late Friday that electronic goods will not be

subject to the 145 percent import tax applied to other Chinese products. The president also says

he's considering suspending the 25 percent tariff on imported cars and car parts that he ordered

less than three weeks ago. The news helped keep a relief rally going in the stock market,

but it also adds to uncertainty about the size and shape of tariffs in the months and years to

come. That uncertainty has left many businesses in limbo and reluctant to make big bets on an

unpredictable economic future. Scott Horsley, MPR News, Washington.

The Social Security Administration has announced that new anti-fraud procedures go into effect today.
