We follow the Supreme Court and we turn to that breaking news.

Here is this new Supreme Court ruling. It deals President Trump another loss. This is a late Friday

0:12.4

decision which halts Trump's attempted deportations. The loss cuts to the heart of the deportation

0:19.0

agenda we've seen here, stopping Trump from efforts to rush
