Tonight, a warning from a federal judge as the Trump administration again challenges his request

for more information on deportations, how the White House is dialing up pressure on the courts.

Then the Fed raises concerns of higher economic uncertainty and a slowing economy.

We'll get into it. Plus, a look from the inside of Trump's return to power

and what to expect next. The 11th hour, just getting underway on this Wednesday night.

Good evening once again. I am Stephanie Ruhl, and we better take a deep breath because it is time for the midweek nightcap,

which means it is day 59 of the second Trump administration and the push to expand executive

power. It is only intensifying. The president now plans to sign an executive order to close the

Meanwhile, Trump and his allies have escalated their attacks against the judicial branch.

Remember, three separate but equal branches?

Well, it's the judge who blocked the administration's deportation flights has now warned of possible consequences if it violated court's orders. The government has

George W. Bush and then elevated to the federal bench by President Obama. But many of Trump

aides, including the Attorney General herself, echoed the president's attacks anyway. Just watch

this. This has been a pattern with these liberal judges. You just spoke about that.

It's been a pattern with what they've been doing.

This judge had no right to do that.

They're meddling in foreign affairs.

They're meddling in our government.
