Summary

Donald Trump's first week back in office has been frenetic. The 47th president issued a slew of executive orders and actions on subjects ranging from immigration to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.

And a Bishop made a heartfelt plea directly to the president and Vice President JD Vance, asking them to show mercy towards immigrants and LGBTQ youth.

Friday marks five days since the beginning of the first stage of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. And this week the Israeli Defense Force launched renewed raids into the city of Jenin in the Occupied West Bank, killing at least 12 Palestinians.

Pope Francis had strong words for Donald Trump as the president began to implement plans to target immigrants living in the U.S.

Despite campaign trail promises, the war in Ukraine did not end on the first day of Donald Trump's presidency. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pondered this week whether Trump would even pay Europe much notice.

We get into all this and more during this week's News Roundup.
